The biggest turnaround: Store 10, from 58% to 87%. It was the worst store in the portfolio, giving back $7,300 a month of its increases. It also had the largest give-backs after increases took effect. With every waiver and rollback in the owner's inbox the next morning, it now keeps 87% of its increases. Stores 7, 8 and 9 made the same jump, from the low 60s to about 85%.

What 71% → 85% is worth

About $23,400 a month in new increases lands each month. Keeping 85% instead of 71% adds $3,300 a month in rent. That $3,300 keeps coming every month the tenant stays, and each new month of increases adds another $3,300 on top.

After one year, the portfolio is collecting about $39,600 a month more than it would at 71%. That is about $475,000 a year going forward.
