My company manages 25 MTRs in and around Los Angeles.

I would expect to see property management, admin, marketing, and contract services (more than just lawn care.) 

What I have seen on BP over the years that REI provides- superior customer care & property management.

It may be a good time to ask questions.

My goal is to always help bigger pockets members save time and money.

A couple ideas below:- Have tenants pay utilities if they don't already- Refinance into lower rate- Increase rents (or convert to mid term/short term rental or rent by the room)- Call the county tax assessor's office to ensure there was no mistake in the tax increase- Call your insurance broker to get you other quotes- Sell the property and 1031 into a better market that does not have those issues- Self manage if you currently have a property managerHope these help!

We gave it some time running it from across the country, but are realizing that we'd rather not try to operate it from across the country. 

I'd love to get info/opinions on whether there is a "standard" amount of time to increase rents in the Bay Area for Single Family Homes.How do property management companies/landlords handle rent increases for existing renters? 

Just last night I was having a hard time finding rent data on a smaller market and Googled *town name, apartments for rent, and got a few listings that weren’t on the main sites.

I've been investing there for over 7 years, if you need anything such as lender contacts or other, just reach out Just spoke with an agent and she said no one is paying rent is this true in your case because I planned on buying in this market using hard money any contacts or ppl that can help would be greatly appreciated IDK who you talked to or what management company she heard that from, however we are thriving.
