Do you offer month-to-month leases? Here are some pros and cons:

PROS
- You can give tenant 30 days notice at anytime.
- You have the flexibility of offering a new lease at any time. For example, you can offer a six month lease after the tenant has been MTM for several months. This gives you more control over when you want a lease to expire.
- You don't have to renew a mountain of leases that expire in the same month.

CONS
- The tenant can give notice at any time with 30 days notice. (Make sure this is in your lease!)
- A tenant may decide to move out during a season that is not optimal for renews (like December).
- Did I say that a tenant can give notice at any time???

MTM leases are not good or bad. It depends on what your investment strategy is.

Owning an investment property requires re-investment from time to time. You'll need to replace a water heater or get a roof repaired. We recommend landlords keep a minimum of one month's rent in reserve so that you're prepared for anything that happens.

CURRENT MARKET ANALYSIS December 2025
Rent increases have come to a screetching halt. We have seen houses renting in 48 hours in Sep, now sitting for 2+ weeks to get rented. We are recommending small - or no - rent increases at this time to avoid a vacancy.

HOW WE DECIDE ON RENT PRICE
Our approach is to balance maximizing income while controlling costs for our owners. We have 20 years of experience evaluating the rental market.
- Owner vacancy and turn-over expenses, e.g., new carpet, paint, normal wear and tear repairs.
- Days on market to find a new qualified tenant.
- Age and condition of the property. Has it been updated recently?
- Keeping rent price under market price increases tenant retention rates.

70% of rental properties are owned by "mom and pop" investors. About 50% of those owners manage the property themselves.

"In real estate, mom-and-pops are owners of small rental properties (1-4 units), and they do the day-to-day management of these properties. But being a mom-and-pop landlord can be challenging, especially when someone is starting out and doing everything from evaluating and purchasing rental properties, finding and screening tenants, collecting rents, keeping the books, dealing with taxes, observing local laws, and performing routine maintenance and repairs."
