Hardest 2 months for landlords, December & January. December, renters and property owners are BUSY. People are worried about holidays, not rent. Weatherizing pipes! Servicing central heat. And the... property tax. I for one have waited till the last day to pay mine. Jan 31 is last day before tax office begins adding penalty. Last year I stood in a long line outside the payment office in Nacogdoches. This year I paid a $10 convenience fee and paid online. I own 29 rental properties in nac cnty tax bill. $32,496.11
And tenants ask why rent is increasing? Each property incurs prop tax, insurance, some have hoa dues and all have upkeep. Not complaining, just reminding those that rent, we landlords have obligations so take care of the property, pay rent in a timely manner, and when theres a problem communicate! Thankful for my tenants that take care of business!
