In this Be A Better Landlord episode, we're tackling property tax appeals. A successful appeal lowers the assessed value of the property, resulting in reduced property tax payments. This can be a significant cost saving, especially for those with multiple rental units. Landlords should be aware of filing deadlines and procedures specific to their county and may want to consider consulting a professional to navigate the appeal process and strengthen their case with evidence like appraisals or comparable property sales data.

In this episode of Be A Better Landlord, real estate agent, and consultant Erin Spradlin sits down with Krista to share the ultimate tips for real estate investors, from how to decide which property is best for you to settle the debate on cap rate vs. cash flow.

The recent National Association of Realtors (NAR) settlement has caused a stir in the real estate world, and while it primarily impacts home sellers, there could be some indirect effects on rental property owners. Here's a breakdown of what you need to know:

• The Settlement: NAR agreed to pay a hefty sum to settle lawsuits alleging they inflated commission rates through their influence on Multiple Listing Services (MLS).
• Potential Impact on Selling Rentals: While the settlement focuses on home sales, it might lead to increased competition among agents seeking listings. This could potentially lead to lower commission rates when selling your rental property.
• Finding Agents for Rentals: There might be a temporary dip in agent availability for rentals as some adjust to the new landscape. However, increased competition could ultimately lead to better deals for landlords in the long run.
• Not a Direct Impact on Rental Management: The core aspects of rental agreements and management shouldn't be significantly affected.
