According to Baltimore property management professionals, it’s quite common for self-managing property investors to set the rent too low. This is usually because the property is not monitored or maintained as much as it should. Sometimes, property owners might even allow the rent to stay low to discourage extra maintenance requests and save money by letting renters make their own repairs. But low rents add up over time. If you are charging $1500 per month when you should charge $1800, that extra $300 adds up fast. You may think about it when the roof has a leak or when it’s time to change out the air conditioner. If you had collected a little more rent, you’d have been able to pay for it.
