rents in the city where I live are up 11% in the past year. did the cost of repairs and inspections increase by that much?

> Also staging, advertising, pursuing delinquencies

I'm charging about 20% more than I did this time last year for repairs. Material, tool, and fuel prices have been going up, and those affect me greatly. I'll probably go up more soon. I have so much work lined up that it'll be 2023 before I can get to you if you talk to me today. And it's near impossible for me to find any helpers right now.

It increased much more, even the official inflation is 7% over 2021.
