Marcus owns a 12-unit building. Instead of aggressive rent hikes, he timed lease renewals, cut turnover costs, and rebid service contracts to keep tenants and raise NOI. Pull a delinquency report, check for income leaks, and audit your numbers before a refinance or sale.
Quick example. Marcus owns a 12-unit building. Rather than pushing aggressive rent increases into a soft market, we focused on renewal timing and turn efficiency.
