Would that name transfer cause my property taxes to be unlocked?

@Ryan PassiI agree that you need to look at a variety of factors including - price per square foot, potential upside and what it takes to unlock it, current vacancy (you rant vacant units due to rent control), GRM, price per unit.

If you have any luck getting your dates unlocked please let me know your strategy.
