You're likely to have a massive escrow shortage if you escrow taxes and insurance. 

I never received any explanation that would help me understand the why other than the property manager blaming new hires.Another time Northpoint charged another homes repairs to my account/address which resulted in a $388 shortage to my account.

If you search these forums and the FB group, you'll find no shortage of people who don't believe in coaches, mentors or professional guidance in their business.

I've had places where I paid a bit each month to cover the shortage between rent and expenses, but in reality other places made more rent than expenses, so they balanced each other and over time, rent increased.

I think these regulations improve accountability, generate revenue, ensure fair competition, protect neighborhoods, address housing shortages, and promote responsible property use.

I know Florida, Texas, and North Carolina are seeing huge growth but I don't really see myself moving to any of those states mainly because of the hurricanes/floods/and the heat in Texas.I'm assuming the problem I'm having is a result of the high insterest rates, housing shortage and affordability, but I'm wondering if it's like this everywhere right now?

Case in point, in 2017-2019 while facing a severe housing shortage, Minneapolis enacted its 2040 Plan, becoming, “the first major U.S. city to end single-family exclusive zoning, opening the door for developers to build multifamily buildings on lots where a single-family home used to be (NBC).”

Denton has suggested shortage of 4000 units right now.Some of these markets like Arlington, Denton and Edinburg have other demand drivers as a backup plan in case students shift to online or move away from going to college.

There is no shortage of help because everyone there is a go-giver.

But you don't have such a huge shortage of employees that salaries are shooting up and creating an inflationary problem.
