I am currently conduction my own research of the Mills Act and its affect on property value, if any. In your experience, how are buyers and sellers of properties under the Mills Act incorporating the reduction in property taxes via the Mills Act into their negociations. I have come up with several mathematical ways to prove that there "should" be a premium for the reduction in taxes. However, what I lack are comparable sales wherein a premium has been negociated and can be proved. Do you have any data along these lines? I would very much like to talk with you, or anyone else about this matter. John C. Carlson 909-861-6186 Doug,

The 34-unit at a GRM of 12.28 is an intriguing property. With those rents and the avoidance of the headaches of LAHD, rent control, etc., that is an interesting opportunity. Good post, I will check back often. I enjoyed reading about your sampling of Pasadena income properties. The 34-unit at a GRM of 12.28 is an intriguing property.

There is no maximum increase allowable on a non-rent controlled unit. She did however cite an example such as doubling a persons rent could be seen as an example of retaliation if a tenant had complained or ask tht something be cortrected.
