A lot landlords in this thread seem to be struggling. Why are you doing it if you’re not making money.
Because the real goal is to break even / slight cash flow and benefit from appreciation.
Lot of whining around here from bad businessmen

Every business builds costs into its prices. That doesn’t magically transfer the legal obligation to the customer. Property taxes are owed by the property owner. Period. Renters help fund the landlord’s business, just like customers help fund Walmart’s electric bill. Those aren’t the same thing. I would suggest deleting this post to save yourself the embarrassment.
Why when you just made my argument for me?
Ask yourself this.
If property taxes were eliminated tomorrow, would rents increase, decrease, or stay same?

Homestead exemption is a problem. Value hasn’t increased since 1980. 75k back then is the same as a 500k plus house now. That’s the problem
That would put more of a burden on renters

I have rental property, it's about market value in that particular location, & I can't necessarily increase it due to a tax increase. My taxes have tripled within the past 10 years & rent increased only 10%-15%.
You should sell those properties
I’m guessing there is a reason you do not

Renters should not be allowed to vote for property tax increases. Period. You clearly rent, and have no business voting to increase a tax burden on someone who is competent enough to have good credit and own a house.

I think Trump made a mistake endorsing Letlow
Trump is very popular among LA republicans so this result is no surprise.
I think Fleming was the better candidate but it’s hard to beat Trump here
Trump will be gone in 2 years Letlow will be here at least 6.

Considering renters pay more in tax… maybe 3/5ths should apply to people who own and live in their home…

Renters don't pay property taxes. They pay a market rate to rent a property. If the market rate declines due to a demand drop, they pay less in rent, but the owner's tax bill doesn't decrease.
If market rents decrease (which rarely happens) then the value of the property is decreased, and the landlord can argue for a lower assessed value.

Renters are shielded from a lot of the headaches of ownership and can easily move yearly, monthly, etc. if they find their situation unsuitable. Much harder to sell a house and move,
Ok but irrelevant to the discussion at hand

This has got to be one of the dumbest financial things I have ever heard.
Property taxes are an expense of the building owner. Just like some of your rent payment is covering maintenance or the mortgage, some of it absolutely is covering the property taxes.
Further, homestead exemption does not qualify for rental property, so a person who rents a $150,000 valued house is paying MORE than the guy who owner occupies the same value house.
We had a property tax election yesterday and the number of “hurr durr renters don’t pay property taxes” comments was disturbing.

Yes, this problem is easily solved.
Just change the law.
The problem of course is that with a 60 vote filibuster it’s hard to change any laws.

Oh, and 4 commercials in a single break that either were pro Letlow or anti Fleming
