Local Knowledge
Selling Multifamily In California
Every state has its own tax, legal, and market dynamics. A few things we factor into every California offer:
- Under Proposition 13, property is reassessed to purchase price at sale, with a base rate of about 1% plus local levies and annual increases capped at 2% afterward.
- AB 1482 sets statewide limits on annual rent increases and just-cause eviction rules for many older buildings.
- Local rent ordinances, such as the Los Angeles RSO, can apply on top of state law, so we confirm a building’s status before we make an offer.
