We had to make sure we sidestepped them and only added information to the correctly entered, active applications.

Would love to connect, especially with those investing in New Jersey!

They will match effort for effort jumping on seller calls and helping you close deals, walk you through contracts, make connections to attorneys, etc.  

Newsom signed that order post-LA fires making it illegal to increase rent beyond 10% in those areas impacted by the fires (one source: https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2025/01/25/la-county... )If I understand you correctly, you're saying that PriceLabs is behind the increase in rates for your properties, taking them to either 10% or beyond of an increase which I'm sure is something someone on their board or engineers must be aware of- as an issue.

I’d love to connect and share my experiences, let me know. 

I get it, and in those cases, Jason would be absolutely correct. 

Leveraging our market connections, we identified the property’s potential and negotiated favorable terms directly with the seller, securing it at a highly competitive price.

Hopefully, this is a useful example of what’s achievable with out-of-state investing, even with no local connections. 

I found similar patterns between all 5 companies: namely, they had taken on too many units, were over-charging me for things I didn't need, and weren't handling issues correctly (they would send out vendors who didn't know what they were doing, mis-diagnose issues etc.)No disrespect to the PMs on this chain or BP in general, but any third-party manager won't perform exactly the way you would like them to simply because of the constraints they are faced with as far as having so many units and owners to keep tabs on. 

@Brandon Stelling I would recommend reaching out and connecting with various commercial brokers who specialize in each of these spaces.
