WELCOME! To end a very tumultuous economic year, we have dedicated our last 2022 RENT issue to your financial health. From our cover story, “Decrease Water and Sewer Expenses to Increase Cash Flow, NOI, and Property Value,” by Sam Liebman, author of Harvard Can’t Teach What You Learn from the Streets, to protecting you from application fraud, we want to help you begin the new year prepared for a very lucrative 2023. You’ll learn the benefits of debt-free investing, using an LLC for real estate ventures, adding an ADU (accessory dwelling unit) and utilizing renovations to improve cap rates and property value. Our expert contributors also share the steps to structuring the perfect real estate deal, preserving your wealth and what to do if you are stuck in a 1031 exchange system. Other informational articles cover how to prevent kitchen fires during the Fall holidays, a rundown of the FCC’s new broadband rules, the Q4 ‘22 rent trends in 10 major U.S. cities and “AAOA’s Top 10 Investing Books of the Season.” Don’t miss our regular features “Ask an Attorney” and “Celebrities on the Move” as well as an article on your legal exposure when you run a criminal background check to screen tenants. As we say goodbye to 2022, we wish you a very happy holiday season and a most profitable new year.
