For the next billing cycle they increased my charges by $500 and did not notify me of the upcoming charge.

I'm now considering expanding my real estate ventures into building custom homes, but I know this is an entirely different beast between the required capital, learning curve, time committment, etc. 

We have a Chicago general contracting business, and handling the field operations is a ridiculously heavy lift.As far as finding customers I think you'll have some good success with gorillia marking at some of the local investor meetups. 

Do you see any new rental property up in the market has increased rent since L.A. fire issue?

I'm a Project Manager at an Architectural Firm specializing in Custom High-End Homes. 

You can simply request a separate check for the $100 increase to bring the total deposit in line with the new rent amount.

Hey Steven,I’d recommend reaching out to your county assessor to inquire about the increase.

Recently I got a huge increase also.

I just got a notice from the MD department of assessments & taxation that the value of my property will increase from 120k to 261k , spread out over 3 years equally.This is a ridiculous increase of 118%.

Just sent them a rent increase notice every year.
