I felt inclined to since I'm surprised by the absence of posts re: AB3088 during covid and the lack of relief for landlords.Is anyone else just shocked at how lax this ordinance is?

The only time I gave them relief was when their purchase order for my product was booked in the "New Orders" board.

I just recently got my first duplex fully leased, which was a relief.

She is paying the rent in full each month, but she says due to covid she can't pay the utility bill and she is trying to apply for assistance with her utility bills for covid relief.

I think there might have been some recent relief for the banking network but it could still be an issue for life insurance companies and CMBS on the larger deals.  

@Nick Gerli the Austin MSA has an extremely low housing inventory at present so increased permits would be a relief for many buyers who are competing for available inventory.  

Now IF we had all the people in the world going to trade schools which are currently at about 5-10% enrollment of pre-collapse numbers, and IF we had every developer dripping in billions to start all the developments needed to get to parity now, IF we had magic wands to waive to make the ridiculous mountains of red tape disappear so it didnt's take ridiculous months on months to get permits to break ground, you'd still have to answer for the fact that we can't get lumber, decking, fasteners or really just name the material because there is the biggest materials shortage in recorded history, only WWII compares in material shortages and there is 0 relief on the horizon because there is still various covid shut downs and restrictions.

@Shivam Mehrotra It probably had something to do with this:• Local Property Tax Credits – Relief credit generated by the local income tax, which can be used to reduce property tax bills.If you're looking at said property as a investment don't expect to receive those credits.

In general, Montgomery County is a bit more aggressive than other counties however, if you have good facts regarding your valuation, you will likely win, or at least get some type of relief.

The pandemic relief payouts have been handled so badly that deserving tenants can't even get through the antiquated systems to apply.
