Is a 10% rent increase unreasonable?

I have a rental property where the tenants are paying around $3k per month in rent. Which was a bit high when they signed a year ago but now based on my research of going market rents it's actually a bit low! I'm fairly confident that I could increase the rent 10% and have it rented in a month.

They are good tenants
I'm not trying to be greedy just need to stabilize my cashflow.

It's a good area generally so finding good tenants is not a problem.

if they took out equity on their home during the bubble days and invested it all into Apple stock then they made a killing

LOL, they didn't buy AAPL with it, they squandered it on Pergo floors, stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, and a tropical vacation.

Not to mention paying of the ballooning credit cards and getting that new motorcycle and ski boat. Oh, and that overpriced 1 month vacation in Europe. All while their salaries just barely beat inflation. Can you see the bubble? Nah, forget it.
