Stop focusing on Expenses Many years back, I had this AHA moment In the commercial real estate Our focus usually is to increase Net Operating Income (NOI) Net Operating Income is defined as Income - Operational Expenses Income consists of - Rent income - MIscellenous Income - Utility recoveries Expenses - Operational cost - Insurance and Taxes - Utility expenses In one of my properties, we were trying to save $100 by changing the Waste management schedule. I am asking around what else can I reduce in expenses. Then someone told me to stop focusing on expenses and focus on topline income which is Rent. Over the years, I realized that is so true A small change in rent causes a massive change in NOI as it's multiplied by all the units that we have in the complex.

That is a smart move on your part. How do you determine when it's better to reduce costs versus increasing rent to justify a cost? How do you find the right balance between cutting expenses and raising rent to optimize NOI?
