Costs went up and revenues dipped or were stagnant due to increased supply. 

Shoot me an email if you'd like to chat.

A tenant that I’ve had for about 5 years emailed me tonight with a ESA letter from a mail order website.

The people at Avail consider the payment timely if it leaves the tenant's account on or before the due date, so I think their reminder emails to tenants revolve around that date :( Any California landlords have experience with this situation?

I'd say email marketing is one of the best ways to reach people, especially in this niche.

 @Chris SeveneyThe long-shot play I became aware of; Capital Improvement Project Funding that the city/county have allocated for projects that meet 2 criteria.Have a lifetime greater than 10 yearsCost more than $50,000I believe, even if the water and refuse collection run is only 1000 ft, that may not qualify but to do it "right", that two mile run would allow the entire subdivision to be supplied with services.

Hoping to connect with a landlord or property manager who, like myself, answers emails and runs the business themselves.

The market determines price based on supply/demand and if you think there's not enough supply - then go ahead and increase the price. 

Some would consider warehouses to be the backbone of today’s supply chain.

Personally, I generate steady cash flow through rental income from workforce housing and multifamily properties, but the value really comes from the appreciation that takes time but is happening, especially in markets like Dallas, where property values are rising steadily due to a major supply demand imbalance.
