Tax Protest Deadline is Upon Us
The Travis County preliminary values were just released, and based on the info we’ve received the average increase in home valuations is up 5.4% despite a slowing real estate market. An increase is likely to be seen across the board in surrounding counties as well.
The 2022 protest season was very successful, and we’re now getting ready for 2023. If you have not set up your online portal with Home Tax Shield and added your credit card then your protest may not be filed. It’s very important to get these steps done as soon as possible to avoid missing the deadline. In the coming weeks we will be sending out a follow up email as well, however if you want to confirm you are set up then check your protest portal to make sure the status says “Ready to File.”
If you’d like to set up tax protests for this year please contact your property manager, and keep in mind that to get the cost structure we’ve negotiated you must sign up through us. If you’re already set up you can review your account or make changes directly in your
Spring is Here
The first day of Spring was March 20! That means you will likely see a surge in plant growth and activity. Please be mindful of lawn care and be sure you are following the lease if you are responsible for yard maintenance.
Spring Storms
With spring being here, we will hopefully see some beneficial rain hit Austin. Typically at this time of year, we get high and damaging winds, so make sure to keep an eye on the exterior of the property when storms roll through. Some obvious signs that your home may have been impacted by a storm are lifted/missing shingles, shingles laying in the yard, loose siding, and the most obvious one that we hear about the most is damaged fencing. If we aren’t told about potential roof or siding damage it could cause water intrusion during rain events. That could lead to damaging the home, your belongings, and create a big headache that no one wants to deal with. The sooner we know about potential issues the faster we can address them and prevent larger issues.

Here are five things investors can do to protect their rental property investment:
Screen Tenants Thoroughly
It’s essential to conduct thorough background checks on all potential tenants. This includes running credit history checks, verifying employment information, and running criminal background checks. Taking the time to screen tenants properly will help ensure you’re only renting to reliable and responsible people.
Invest in Quality Property Maintenance
Investing in regular property maintenance is one of the best ways to protect a rental property investment. Regularly scheduled maintenance can spot any potential issues before they become more serious and costly. It’s also important to keep up with an...
