For the HVAC, I'd just question if that's the correct and best way to go about it, but I'm not an expert, but certianly you won't get interest listing a unit for rent or sale without HVAC.

The answer is it depends - if there is no more settlement then they are correct you probably do not need piers at this time, if it continues to move then you need to do something.

@Troy SmithThe advice you received is correct.

Asking in the correct forum will get a better response.Read the RULES!

Do not trust what a realtor tells you to be correct. 

They normally do a very poor job that will have to be corrected later - drips on the floor, doors walls and molding, poor job of cutting in, bleed through on the walls.

@Charles Perkins is absolutely correct about "collecting all receipts, properly tracking all income and expenses and your basis for all assets properly documented and recorded."

@Bob Dole please tell me you have a CPA and you're simply educating yourself so that you can verify what he is saying is correct? 

Newsom signed that order post-LA fires making it illegal to increase rent beyond 10% in those areas impacted by the fires (one source: https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2025/01/25/la-county... )If I understand you correctly, you're saying that PriceLabs is behind the increase in rates for your properties, taking them to either 10% or beyond of an increase which I'm sure is something someone on their board or engineers must be aware of- as an issue.

Not sure if hard money would be the correct route to go for this one or not
