We will do a full property paint, new landscaping, new lighting and not hear a peep from a tenant. Water heater goes out for a day...chatGPTed threats stating civil codes. I kinda hate myself for loving it.

Owning and managing apartment buildings in Los Angeles feels illegal at this point.

Waving because it didn’t stand a chance of finding the fairway.

New 8 unit we manage in Sherman Oaks on Beverly Glen. We are getting ready to do the landscaping and repaint. Any suggestions?

Just took on management of this 18 unit in Van Nuys. We had nicer planters but people kept destroying them. We put these in and handfuls of the rocks kept getting thrown across the courtyard. Any suggestions? Preferably comical AI photos.

I love these 1950s buildings. This is a great 11 unit we manage in Sherman Oaks south of Ventura Blvd. One issue, trash day on these little streets full of apartment buildings is tough.

The City of LA doing what they do best... The fire next to our building from homeless on March 8th caused serious damage to our property, and that was not bad enough apparently. Two days later, LA Housing Department was there demanding that we remediate the damaged units we have. Then the Health Department started sending notice after notice after phone calls threatening fines if we do not get the issues fixed right away. Can I at least get an insurance adjuster out first? To get this straight: - The City does nothing about the countless calls by neighbors about the homeless trespassers cooking meth in a vacant house - The homeless catch the place on fire, which damaged our building - The unimaginable happens for an amazing family by losing their home and three of their dogs died in the fire - Now somehow we are the ones getting harassed and threatened with fines? But hey, at least LA gave $177M for lawyers to help tenants sue their landlords. @spencerpratt clean house! We need it!

Harsh update... I met with the family today who lived next to the homeless house that started the fire. Their home caught fire too, and it is a total loss. The father works in construction and is also a Pastor at his church. Two of his dogs died in the fire. They were at church when the fire happened. This is a man who worked his whole life, six days a week, from 6 AM to 6 PM, just to afford that house. Now it’s all gone! There’s not much worse than watching a grown man stand in front of everything he built and looking at just ashes. LA council members: Take the last of your handouts, find a new job doing whatever you claim you're qualified for, and let this city climb out of its multi-billion-dollar deficit. @spencerpratt We need you more than you already know. Clean house and bring back the LA we all loved.

Just found out that two dogs in the neighboring property were killed in the fire. Now I'm pissed.

Higher LA apartment rents are not because of supply issues. City of LA has around 650K RSO & 218K non-RSO units LA just hit 5% vacancy. Approximately 43K vacant units. Higher rents are due to higher costs from over regulation & the council members F'ing w/ market forces.

Shout out to the tenant who CC'ed my whole company because there was a coyote in the front yard of the building last night and we need to "handle this immediately." Not as bad as the tenant who called us because there was a bee in his unit...he's 40.

New 6 unit we just started managing in Studio City.

I'm not sure if it's an LA thing or not but some tenants want everything done just shy of doing their laundry for them. A lot of maintenance requests could be handled with WD40 and a screwdriver. Is this just an LA thing or everywhere?

New 18 unit we started managing. Great location. Bought forever ago. Never selling.

New 65 unit we just signed for management and lease up. LADWP, don't pull your usual BS on this one. We don't have 180 extra days after completion to deliver this.

Great new 26 unit in Studio City we started managing this month!

New 35 unit under management. Sloped roof, wall AC, courtyard buildings are always low maintenance. It’s the plumbing. Always the plumbing!

New 18 unit we started last month. Owner is first generation in the US. Self made guy. He has 6 other buildings. He cannot manage anymore because "LA has made owning real estate a full time job for mom and pop landlords."

27 unit portfolio we just took management of. Amazing what happens when you answer your phone on the weekend. It also made me miss 2 holes of golf with the boys. I put myself down for birdies 🤫
