I just got a notice from the MD department of assessments & taxation that the value of my property will increase from 120k to 261k , spread out over 3 years equally.This is a ridiculous increase of 118%.

Should we refinance now if rates decrease even just slightly so we pay a lower monthly while we see through these repairs, then once repairs are complete have home reappraised and take out this equity to buy next property where we would live while renting out our current home?

I was on BP Money Episode 325:  https://www.biggerpockets.com/blog/money-325For some reason the signatures in the Forum seem to assign random podcast numbers to past guests, I’ve noticed this with other people as well.

Here is a real life story of what recently happened in my portfolio.I received a 60 day notice that my apartment was going to be vacant starting December 1st.

For the first time in years I’ve noticed many of the larger apartment complexes even offering the first month free to fill vacant units, so it’s clear that demand is down.

Finally I came to my senses and served them a 'Notice to pay rent or vacate by the 10th of January' after which I plan to file an eviction.

Quote from @Jin Zhang: You initiate the process by filing a 3-day Notice.

My name is Jaedon Carlisle.I am a new investor looking for 4-plexes and small commerical units.I currently reside in Redding as well and I would be very interested in meetups or any existing groups.As mentioned above, I have noticed very little inventory and the inventory that exists seems to be very expesnive relative to what I believe constitutes a good deal (at least in my inexperienced view).I am 26 and looking to make this my career.

Surprisingly, these homes that once sold for $7,000 are now selling for close to $1,000,000 and it doesn't seem as though the rate of appreciations is decreasing anytime soon. 

Then progress to permits and then building.You could also just do it and hope the city doesn't notice, which they probably won't.Your challenge will be getting Certificates of Compliance on the units!
