How to Increase Your Rents - Maximize Your Property's Contract Renewal
Do you know what Section 8 Renewal Option your property has contracted under? Do you know how that option is benefitting you? Or maybe it isn’t and you’re wondering if you can or should switch options. And what’s the difference between a renewal and a rent adjustment anyway?
Join CMS as we travel through the different Contract Renewal options and the Section 8 Renewal Guide. Discover if a Mark-up-to-Market, an Operating Cost Adjustment Factor (OCAF), or a Budget Based renewal is the road for you!
By the end of the presentation, you should have a better understanding of:
