This is giving me an increased sense of caution and I appreciate the heads up on the impact of these other factors on what I'm seeing in these listings.It seems so daunting to get at the truth and the details, especially for a first go round.

If it costs X and increases to Y then Y is the new value.

eg month 1 rent $1600, late fee $160, month 2 they pay $1600, but PM deducts $160 from the unpaid late fee and then adds another late fee of 10% (and presumably of the rent plus late fee so it increases each month)? 

Will taxes continue to increase?

Is there a limit on how much each rent increase can be?

There are times in Texas, where the tax hike outpaces any rent increase.
