This way I can execute step by step and get some progress going as I continue to work my full time job for the time being.Thanks for any information!

Sorry, Jazmine- I keep track of all of my miles the old fashioned way- manually, as the day progresses.  

For myself when assessing all your properties I see them all as underperforming.

There are places who will do little; some that will assess a fine and then there are others who will make you undo all work that was not approved or permitted and/or put an encumbrance on title preventing you from selling the property.

Stay tuned, I'll keep posting as we make progress!

However, a review of real and personal property tax assessments often results in the identification of opportunities for lower property tax bills.

Also look at the annual financial report to see if they are reporting a profit or a running loss for the HOA.If this building is older plan on special assessments or monthly dues rising at a fast clip to cover ongoing repairs needed.

To be more successful, you simply have to work on the other elements to progress your REI pursuit.

It's the large jump in assessments but hopefully the EAV or tax rate will adjust as well.
