    Are you raising it proportionally to the costs you’d expect to see the next year for that unit and factoring in any expected equity were you to sell? I’m always curious how these rent hikes are calculated. Have you ever reduced rent?

      I cannot tell you how conglomerates do it, but i can speak for myself.
      I own 10 Units that i rent out. I raise rent depending on what i think next year is gonna happen. But i also have 2 companies that generate income that i take into account a tiny bit.
      It’s been fucky since the Corona™️ though so i kept raises to the same level they were in 2019. About 4% a year.
      I raise my rent to market value whenever i have a change in tenant.
      I have never reduced rent. My costs have never gone down. If anything i didnt raise rent one year.
      I cannot keep rent the same forever because inflation and other cost increases would just eat at the foundation and if something breaks i will have to just sell the entire unit.

          Don’t know. Don’t care. I raise wages to a percent above inflation. Not my problem other employers don’t.
