Images of Gratitude

There is much in my life for which I am grateful — my family, friends, neighbors, and co-workers, as well as my country, my freedoms, and my opportunities to work hard and achieve personal and professional success.

I am also grateful for the Apartment Association of Orange County and all that it has provided me, as well as allowed me to give back over the years. This month, instead of a written article, I thought I would use photos highlight ing some of the outstanding AAOC

events this year to express my thanks and deep appreciation for the associa tion, my fellow members, our industry, and our collective resiliency in this bounce back, post-pandemic year.

I wish you a very Happy Thanksgiving, and hope to see you at our AAOC Holiday Party, Dinner, Awards & Board Installation Ceremony on Thursday, December 8, 2022, at Strawberry Farms Golf Club in Irvine. Tickets are on sale at www.AAOC.com.

We have made it a custom to write our magazine articles about new trends and laws directly affecting existing rental-hous ing stock. Well, this article is about legal application of a law that recently had “teeth” amended into it so rental housing will be built and thereby ease the pressure for cities and counties to adopt incredibly burdensome laws that are designed to punish rental housing owners.

A developer is proposing to apply a rarely used state law because a local government, namely the city of Santa Monica, has failed to produce a hous ing plan to accommodate population growth. The law that we are referring to will more likely than not be used in wealthy cities and counties that provide little — if any — housing.

In recent years, the California legis lature and governor have approved laws that erode local control over homebuilding. They argue that local resistance is the key reason behind the housing shortage and high cost of living.

In response, developers finally are willing to challenge local officials.

Santa Monica is not the only city where thousands of dwelling units are proposed to be built. Approximately 20 miles away, for example, a developer that happens to be a power plant owner, is proposing more than 2,200 housing units to be built. Developers in West Hollywood and Beverly Hills are looking at using the same law to build thousands of units.

The Santa Monica development includes a 15-story high-rise with 2,000 dwellings. This would be the tallest down town building. The rest of the units to be built would be spread across 14 buildings.

Do you want to guess what the response has been by local elected offi cials? Their immediate claim is a loss of local control, and that the unique char acter of the community would be lost, including the reasoning behind many of the local government ordinances that place restrictive requirements on rental property owners.

One member of the Santa Monica

City Council claims that, “some of this growth will be destructive to the idea that Santa Monica, somewhere along the line, was supposed to be a beach side town.” Council member Phil Brock stated, “…As we blend into L.A., we will lose that character.”

Brock expects that his fellow coun cil members will try to block at least some projects. This statement is made without reviewing any aspect of the proposed housing development or the laws that could make it possible for the developer to move forward. The law that could be applied in this situation is three decades old and is popularly referred to as the “builder’s remedy.”

When the requirement to produce a housing plan, popularly referred to as a housing element, every eight years (it used to be every four) is breached, developers can essentially propose to build what they want, provided some of the housing is set aside for low- or middle-income households.

Knowing how many times, and how many housing units have not been built

due to the dozens of local governments that have stood in the way of develop ment, state legislators beefed up state laws to make the “builder’s remedy” a viable law by increasing the penalties for cities and counties that reject devel opment and/or reduce density. Even the state attorney general has become assertive by forming a task force to enforce housing rules.

State Senator Nancy Skinner (D-Berkeley) wrote some of the laws that strengthen the “builder’s remedy.” The senator perfectly summarized the reasoning behind her bill in this fash ion: “The localities themselves gave up local control when they chose to ignore state law.”

A cultural and state legislative shift should not have surprised local elected officials. They were given ample oppor tunity and warning that their policies and practices would no longer be toler ated by the state. The Newsom Administration, state legislature, and attorney general continued their march

at strengthening and enforcing the laws because local officials continued to cre ate roadblocks against much-needed housing. It is the cities and counties that created the housing crises.

The ”builder’s remedy “ could be in play among the 124 cities in Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino and Imperial Counties because their hous ing elements have not been approved by the state Department of Housing and Community Development.

And in San Diego County, the cities of Coronado, Del Mar and Solana Beach are among 11 cities that could be facing the same set of circumstances. The cities’ housing plans must be sent to the state by January 2023. If they fail to submit their plans to the state, and the state does not approve those plans, those cities will face the same set of consequences.

On October 11, the Santa Monica City Council revised its housing plan, which was subsequently certified by state housing officials. However, the

proposal that the developer submitted to the city to construct the 14 build ings, thereby creating 4,562 new apart ments with 941 units set aside for low-income residents, was before the city’s housing plan was revised and approved. Thus the “builder’s remedy” was filed before the deadline.

Santa Monica is well known for adopting one of the strongest rent con trol laws in the state — the reasoning behind the need for the Ellis Act, the reasoning behind Costa Hawkins. It was also one of the first cities to compel developers to provide affordable hous ing as a condition of approval.

The road ahead for the developer will be an arduous one. And we can guaran tee that it will be litigated for years.

ORANGE COUNTY LEGISLATIVE WATCH

What is the Electoral State of Housing?

Over the past few months, I have discussed what different races mean here in Orange County as it relates to rental housing. The coverage may have been particu larly relevant to readers who live or own or operate rental property in a city where housing is presently a high-pro file election year issue for city council candidates. For other readers, you may feel comfortable knowing these issues don’t affect you in your city — at least not yet.

Elections, provide a glimpse into where housing stands as a community issue, and as an indicator of things to come in the larger political landscape.

For the November 2022 election cycle, there were no specific issues in Orange or Riverside Counties to which we could point and identify immediate threats to the rental-housing industry. However, there were some issues involving development and even prop erty taxation worth mentioning.

Aliso Viejo voters will consider “Measure G,” which presents itself as a standard school facilities bond pro posed by the Capistrano Unified School District. The bond measure would exclusively benefit district schools located in the city, but the school dis trict makes no guarantees that it wouldn’t just swap out funding that the general budget would have allocated for these schools and apply it elsewhere in the district.

Laguna Beach has two ballot mea sures that are designed to create trig

gers for which voter approval would be required for major development proj ects. There are no new rental housing projects in the pipeline, nor any antici pated to be proposed, so these mea sures have no impact on the industry.

Costa Mesa is trying to modify a city ordinance that voters approved in 2016 which requires voters to approve certain development proposals. Observers say the ordinance has brought housing development in the city to a halt. According to the city, if approved on November 8th, Measure K would allow housing development in commercial and industrial areas, while keeping residential neighborhoods intact and revitalizing commercial corridors.

Riverside County has a school bond measure or two - but neither the county nor the cities are having an impact on rental housing in this election.

Now, let’s take a look outside of Orange and Riverside Counties where rentalhousing has very much been an issue.

CALIFORNIA

The statewide ballot does not have any housing-related initiatives this election cycle, but several cities and counties in the state do.

CITY OF PASADENA

Pasadena decided to address hous ing affordability issues via the ballot box this fall. If passed, Measure H would bring both rent control and just cause eviction to the city and make it part of the city charter. This move

would require a city vote to enact any change to these laws.

CITY OF SANTA MONICA

I know what you’re thinking, “Santa Monica already has rent control.” And while you would be correct, the city apparently found it necessary to try further lowering the percentage by which a rental property owner could raise rents. If passed, Measure EM would allow the rent control board to halt any rent increases during a declared emer gency — regardless of the reason or loca tion of the emergency. If the governor declares a wildfire in Modoc County an emergency, the city of Santa Monica, located in Los Angeles County, could deny rent increases. Extra points if you can point to Modoc County on a map.

CITY OF RICHMOND

Since paying criminals to not com mit crimes wasn’t enough, the city of Richmond decided to propose capping rents at either 60% of CPI or 3% — whichever is lower. The city council placed “Measure P” on the November 2022 ballot apparently so they could later blame the residents when proper ties aren’t kept up due to lack of suffi cient funds.

And saving the best for last…

CITY OF LOS ANGELES

Have you ever wondered how you can find a policy that is utterly sense less, however, gets lots of “influencer” support? Enter “Measure ULA.”

Questions

I drove by my apartment building the other day and noticed that one of my tenants put up a satellite dish antenna, not just one, but three. I just put a new roof on about a year ago. This tenant had the nerve to bolt them right through the new roofing shin gles. Looks terrible. I’m concerned about water leakage, mold and possibly voiding my roof warranty. Can they do that legally?

No. Your standard apartment association rental agreement most likely includes a provision prohibiting the tenant from making modifications or alterations to the premises without the landlord’s prior written consent. The tenant is in breach of the agreement and most courts would agree that the breach is a curable one. Depending upon the extent of the damage to the roof, the tenant’s conduct may rise to the level of

the exterior of your building and repair the damage. You would then deduct the reasonable out of pocket costs from the tenant’s security deposit. You can then demand reimbursement by serving a three-day notice to perform covenant or quit by demanding that the tenant replenish the security deposit for the amount charged. A second option would be to serve a three-day notice to perform covenant or quit, by demand ing that the tenant return the premises to their original condition by removing the satellite dish and repairing anyand-all damage to the building. This option is not preferable because you do not want to instruct the resident to climb on your roof and perform the roof repair himself. Under either scenario, you would be well advised to document the breach by taking pictures of the

allows tenants to maintain a satellite dish antenna on their patios and balco nies, within areas exclusively for the use of the tenant. These do not, however, give the tenant the right to affix an antenna to your roof or install an antenna in the common areas.

There have been numerous incidents where police have come to one of my prop erties lately. I do not know specifically what is going on, but a police officer called me and identified one of my residents as an undesirable. They say he’s suspected of being in a gang and is dealing drugs. They say that if I don’t evict him, the police will prosecute me for allowing a criminal to operate on my property. I may even lose the property! The family has been there for several years, other than a couple bounced checks, they have been model tenants. Help, I cannot afford a vacancy right now,

In this upside-down world we live in today, this is a growing trend in law enforcement. Rather than prosecute the criminal, many law enforcement agencies are taking the lazy way out and threatening the law-abiding land lord, forcing them to evict the resident. Rather than locking up the bad guys, just shuffle them off to another com munity. If the police are certain he is dealing drugs, why haven’t the police done anything about it? If the call you received is inconsistent with your expe rience with your resident, follow up with the police department by asking for documentation supporting their claim. Check if there have been arrests on the property and possibly ask if any illegal drugs have been found there. You can also ask other residents in the building, to gather independent infor mation. If the information you gather supports your resident’s involvement in criminal activity, act immediately. Consult your attorney to determine if you have enough facts to support a

three-day nuisance notice. Remember, a letter from the police department is not enough evidence in court to base a nuisance notice on, testimony from percipient witnesses will be required.

I rented an apartment to four roommates quite a while ago. One of the four is now moving out, but the other three want to stay. The one moving out is demanding that I return his portion of the security deposit. He says that he paid it, so he should get it back. Do I have to?

No, the security deposit remains with you as long as any of the roommates remain in possession of the rental unit. Often, owners and residents will enter into an agreement replacing one resi dent with another, thereby removing the one original resident from the lease. The agreement will further provide that the ‘new’ roommate pay the ‘old’ roommate his portion of the security deposit. Absent a written agreement to

the contrary, the owner should retain the entire security deposit, then when all the remaining roommates vacate, the refund check should be made pay able to all four of the original room mates named in the rental agreement.

DEAR MAINTENANCE MEN

Dear Apartment Owners:

Remember, the holiday season starts with Halloween and the demand on your properties only gets worse from there. Check each stove and oven for proper operation, many residents only turn on their ovens at this time of year, and the problem may be as simple as a blown-out pilot light. This time of year sees a higher than normal use of the plumbing. It may be a good idea to snake out or hydro-jet your main plumbing lines.

In addition, sending a note to each ten ant on the proper use of the garbage disposal will be useful. Note what they should, and should not, put into the disposal unit. A few items to include on this “No-No” list are banana peels, potato skins, coffee grounds, and any stringy foods. Also, make sure they turn on the water before using the dis poser and put down small amounts of food at a time. Using the disposer as a trash can, and turning it on when full, will lead to a clog.

Christmas and other holidays also mean more people than usual walking on your property. Is your property safe? What are some of the liabilities to worry about? Check trip and fall haz ards. Do you have sprinkler heads sticking up above the grass or land scape near sidewalks? Use pop-up heads to solve this problem. Look for sidewalks that have been pushed up by tree roots. This can be solved with a concrete grinder or replacement of the

section and removal of the tree root. Cut any low-hanging tree branches and look for branches that may break in heavy winter wind or rain. Check your decking for cracks or damage and inspect the exterior stairways for wear and tear. Inspect all your garage door springs as winter wind and rain may make them heavy, causing the door to close or fall unexpectedly. As a precau tion, always replace both garage springs at the same time and throw away any used springs. Never install used garage springs. Check all property lighting and timers.

Remember: Preventive Maintenance is cheaper than Emergency Maintenance!

Dear Maintenance Men:

I have a toilet that runs every ten or twenty minutes. I have replaced the fill valve, the flapper valve, and I have even scrubbed under the rim! In other words, all the items I can think of that are replaceable in the tank are new. What else should I be looking at? Sam

Dear Sam:

You replaced all the easy ones! When all else fails on a toilet leak down issue, it is time to put on your rubber gloves and get an adjustable wrench. Chances are the problem lies with the flush valve seat. The rubber flapper valve seals against the flush valve seat (the big hole at the bottom of the tank.) to either keep the water in the tank, or to let the water out of the tank. The seat may have a burr, crack, or calcium deposits

that allow a small amount of water to seep past the rubber flush valve. Sanding the seat to remove the burr or calcium deposit is a short-term solu tion, but rarely solves the problem for long. A permanent solution is to replace the flush valve. Start by turning off the water supply, empty the tank com pletely, and remove the water line. Remove the two or three bolts holding the tank to the toilet bowl. Turn the tank upside down and remove the large nylon or brass nut that holds the flush valve to the tank. Install the new flush valve. Be sure the tank bottom is clean, and no debris gets between the new valve’s rubber gasket and the tank. Tighten the large nut on the outside of the tank and you are ready to reassem ble the tank and bowl and put the toilet back into action. When reassembling the tank to the bowl, install new rubber washers and bolts.

Dear Maintenance Men:

I am organizing a preventative main tenance “Tune Up” list for my mainte nance work at my rentals. Most are DIY type repairs, and my goal is to have safer, problem-free units in the long term. Can you help with some tips or ideas I can add to my list? George

Dear George:

Good for you! And good for your resi dents. Staying on top of your mainte nance is a great way to add value to your rental investment and promote timely rent payments etc. Items we would

14 Apartment News www.aaoc.com November 2022
B y J erry l’ e C uyer & F rank a lvarez

include on your “Tune Up” list would be to inspect the property and units for liability and habitability items first.

Address these types of items as they can be inexpensive to fix, and costly not to.

General items to look for are:

1. Loose toilets bolts & old flapper valves

2. Leaky faucets and fixtures

3. Replace any white plastic water lines with stainless steel flex lines.

4. Check smoke detectors and consider the addition of carbon monoxide detectors.

5. Loose door handles or knobs

6. Closet door tracks (worn or bent)

7. Door stops — Installed and in proper placement to avoid wall holes

8. Check outside lighting and trip hazards

9. When replacing a garbage disposal, use a ½ hp model. The cheaper 1/3 hp disposers only promote clogs. Show your residents how to use them correctly.

10. Peeling interior and exterior paint — Using EPA lead safe practices, scrape and cover peeling paint immediately.

11. Check for water stains on the ceilings

and find their source. It’s sometimes less expensive to repair a roof before or during a wet winter.

12. Check shower and tub caulking. Remove and replace as needed.

Throughout Orange County, housing voucher subsidies are increasing, giving voucher hold ers more housing options and access to a wider selection of rental units throughout the county.

These annual adjustments to sub sidy values make vouchers more com petitive for market rate apartments. So, what does that mean for your rental properties? In short, this is great news for rental housing providers, as even more market rate units can now qualify to lease to voucher holders.

“Orange County Housing Authority is hoping the 2023 Payments Standards will help current Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) participants keep up with the rising cost of rent and will make it easier for current and future voucher participants to maintain and access additional affordable hous ing units in the current rental market in Orange County,” said January Johnson, Manager, Housing Assistance Division, Orange County Housing Authority. “We are optimistic about the new Payment Standards, especially as, for the first time, HUD used up-to-date private rent data to help set Fair Market Rents (FMRs) to ensure that FMRs better reflect housing costs in local communities.”

Housing voucher payment standards are calculated as a percentage of HUD’s Fair Market Rents and can range from 90–120% of the FMRs. Each year, HUD

releases an assessment of what it con siders Fair Market Rent for a geo graphic area, based on the number of bedrooms in the rental unit.

“The goal is to lower the rent burden for current and future participants, reflect the actual local rental market, and balance those goals within the existing budget,” said Johnson.

With the new rates in place, housing vouchers are now comparable with non-subsidized rental payments. For property providers, not only does this open the door to a wider pool of appli cants, but it also gives them access to additional benefits such as guaranteed on-time rental income each month from the public housing authority, pro tection from changes in tenant income, longer tenancy, less lost rent, and turn over expenses.

“Many property providers are unaware of the benefits that can come from renting to voucher holders,” said Steven Gallian, QIP Management. “Voucher holders are just as, if not more, reliable as other tenants, and with guaranteed rental income, I’m able to focus on other aspects of prop erty management. I’ve found it creates a better relationship with the tenant when I’m not worried about when the rent will be paid.”

The recent announcements from all four public housing authorities: Anaheim, Garden Grove, Santa Ana,

and Orange County, represent a sub stantial increase for properties in every Orange County city. Santa Ana has increased voucher values by $505 on average, with the largest increase seen for single family home rentals, but still a sizable increase for 1 and 2 bedrooms of $350. Renters in Anaheim will ben efit from rates set at 110% of FMR, which matches the rates for South County. Those in Garden Grove are receiving a 5% higher portion of FMR and the higher FMR base rate, resulting in an average increase of $383.

In the rest of the county, the biggest increases occurred in Huntington Beach, Costa Mesa, and Fountain Valley with an average of a $564 increase. Overall, the average increase is a substantial $423, with an overall average increase of $326 for 1 bedroom and $374 for 2 bedrooms.

“The payment standard increase is going to really level the playing field for our clients,” said Elizabeth Andrade, Chief Executive Officer at Family Assistance Ministries. “Not only is this great news for property providers and voucher holders, but this benefits our community as well—helping to reduce poverty, homelessness, and helping low-wage workers make ends meet.”

Powering Up: Providing Charging Stations for EVs at Your Property

Increased demand for EV charging is just around the corner; owners and management companies must be prepared for the potential uptick of EVs at communities.

As climate change continues to alter the environment, people are becoming more conscious of their personal impact on the planet and making an effort to combat the climate emergency. While many strides have already been made to reduce energy consumption and minimize our carbon footprint, some notable advance ments, like the use of electric vehicles (EVs), are gaining traction.

According to a recent KPMG survey, some of the country’s top auto execu tives say that by 2030 more than half of U.S. car sales will consist of EVs. At the 2022 Apartmentalize session, “Powering Up: Providing Charging Stations for EVs at Your Property,” panelists discussed how the expanded use of EVs is chang ing the way they design properties to meet the needs of modern renters and achieve their goal of reducing environ mental impact.

“A lot of people are seeing the market changing with more EV drivers showing up at their communities,” said Gabe Schwartz, Vice President of Sales and Marketing for Sitelog IQ. “The land scape is transforming right now. What you saw yesterday is not necessarily reflective of what you’ll see over the next several years.”

While the EV takeover is most prominent in major metropolitan areas at the moment, it won’t be long before it reaches the masses.

“We did a survey of 15,000 residents and found that 91% of respondents currently drive a gas-engined vehicle,”

said Susan Picotte, Senior Vice President of Asset Management and Operations Support for Centerspace. “However, 37% indicated that they plan to purchase a hybrid vehicle in the near future. Furthermore, the average car owner keeps a vehicle for about seven years, which ties in closely to the pre dictions of where we’ll be in 2030.”

Susan Vickery, Principal for Caryatid Consulting, suggested that those survey results are based on what’s here now and that 37% will increase dramatically.

“I think that number will climb sig nificantly when we start seeing a much wider variety and more affordable price range for EVs,” Vickery said. “The real issue right now is long-distance driving. That’s the infrastructure hurdle that we need to jump and get additional super chargers in more remote places.”

Panelists pointed out that although the hesitancy behind consumers pur chasing EVs is due to the perception that the vehicles are too expensive and there is a lack of infrastructure, it really comes down to a shortfall of knowl edge. Regardless of where a buyers’ mindset is at now, the shift is happen ing and operators need to be adequately prepared to supply EV charging sta tions onsite.

Schwartz noted that people over whelmingly prefer to charge their vehi cles at home in their own private parking area.

“Operators need to figure out how to accommodate that preference and decide on the smartest possible install

design,” Schwartz said. “There are mul tiple considerations with it and there are requirements that must be met.”

The ideal time to implement EV charging stations is at the point of con struction, but as Vickery highlighted, the design must be built in a way that allows for additional installations as the need grows. Whether it’s a new build or an existing community, the best way to achieve this is to take a coordinated approach.

Operators should establish consis tency across communities and choose a single EV network provider that includes a standard service package with a single point of contact.

“EVs not only address the environ mental aspect of ESG by encouraging carbon reduction and things like that, but it’s also about community impact and enhancing the modern renter experi ence that makes people want to stay in your communities,” Schwartz said.

October General Membership Meeting Recap

More than 150 members attended the AAOC General Membership Meeting on October 18, 2022, for a comprehensive legislative session wrap up and preview of the new state laws that will affect the rental-housing industry starting in

January.

AAOC State Legislative Advocate Ron Kingston and attorney C. Tyler Greer, Esq. (Duringer Law Group, PLC) cov ered a wide range of policy topics during their presentation, focusing not only on the legislation that was signed into law

by the governor but also doing a “deep dive” into related policy issues that we could see introduced as new legislation in the coming year.

The initial topic covered by Kingston

and Greer was Electric Vehicles (EVs) and that by 2035, only those vehicles will be permitted for new car sales in California. To support this mandate, beginning in early 2024, the California Building Standards Commission and the Department of Economic Development, will research and develop proposals for mandatory installation of EV charging stations — including installation in multifamily communities.

Kingston emphasized that it is imperative that the rental housing industry participate in the process for developing these standards, to avoid

unnecessary costs associated with the installation of EV stations in multifam ily parking lots.

Another issue covered was the future of credit reporting for prospective rent ers. It was stated that until July 1, 2025, property owners of assisted housing developments, with 16 or more dwell ing units, are required to offer lessees the option of having their favorable rental payments reported to at least one consumer reporting agency.

In addition, state law now permits (but does not require) rental housing providers to accept a reusable consumer report from prospective residents to obtain information about their credit

worthiness during the application pro cess. This is a policy are that the legislature is expected to continue exploring during the 2023 legislative session.

Indoor residential water usage is also in for major changes according to Kingston and Greer. Through December 31, 2024, the indoor consumption stan dard shall be 55 gallons per capita daily. From January 1, 2025 through December 31, 2029, the standard shall be 47 gallons per capita daily. And from January 1, 2030, the standard will be 42 gallons per capita daily. How those

standards will be achieved remains to be seen. How it will be enforced is an even greater question.

The program concluded with Kingston discussing the creation of a Los Angeles Regional Housing Finance Act. This will establish authorization to raise and allocate new revenue through a parcel tax, gross receipts, business tax license tax, a document tax, and the issuance of bonds, including general obligation, revenue, and mortgage bonds, as well as private activity bonds.

OC Area Fault Could Unleash

7.8 Magnitude Disaster

The beauty of our Southern California landscape is also what makes it so menacing. We’ve long known the link between towering mountain ranges and the San Andreas fault. Now we learn that the coastal bluffs of Newport Coast and Laguna were created by another, poten tially more deadly fault.

It was once thought that the Palos Verdes fault zone was a series of little faults, but Harvard researchers have determined it is one singular behemoth of a fissure capable of triggering a cata strophic 7.8 magnitude disaster. Published in the October Bulletin of the Seismological Society of America, the study explains how the twisting, dipping action of the fault has warped the coastline — creating the Palos Verdes Peninsula and other landmarks all the way to Dana Point.

If you thought the Northridge quake of 1994 was a whopper, you haven’t seen anything yet, seismologists warn. At a magnitude of 6.8, Northridge was relatively moderate, they say.

The U.S. Geological Survey recently estimated that a magnitude 7.8 earth quake in Southern California could cause the collapse of 50 brittle concrete

buildings housing 7,500 people, and another five high-rise steel structures holding 5,000. From an economic standpoint, international modeling firm AIR Worldwide estimates losses from a quake of that magnitude at upwards of $300 billion. That figure was supported by data analytics firm CoreLogic, which said an earthquake of magnitude 8.3 along the San Andreas could damage up to 3.5 million homes, resulting in reconstruction costs of $289 billion.

Meanwhile, a 2020 study by the University of Southern California says the Puente Hills fault — running about 25 miles through the Los Angeles basin, from Downtown L.A. through La Mirada, and criss-crossing its way into Orange and San Bernardino counties — has the capacity to produce “the costliest disaster in U.S. history.” As many as 18,000 people would die, 735,000 would lose their homes, and up to 100,000 tons of debris would be gen erated. The total economic loss would be as high as $252 billion. That’s due mostly to its location: creeping under neath skyscrapers, heavily traveled infrastructure, and the bulk of the region’s more affordable — but also

more vulnerable — housing stock.

What’s the difference between a 6.8 and 7.8 magnitude quake? The latter is 10 times larger in wave amplitude, and 32 times greater in release of energy — a difference equal to more than 54 mil lion kilograms of TNT1 — more than twice the explosive power of the atomic bomb dropped on Nagasaki in World War II2. Even more startling, a 7.8 mag nitude earthquake would unleash more than 1,000 times the energy of a 5.8 magnitude (32 x 32 = 1,024). A magni tude 9.0 quake or higher, which has happened five times since 19503 , releases more than a million times the energy of a 5.04.

It’s important to understand the exponential nature of the numbers we assign to seismic events. Only then can we accurately assess the risks posed to our communities. Will your building survive the “Big One” when it comes? It could, but in many instances, a retrofit could significantly improve your odds.

Higher Interest Rates Create a Greater Need for Rental Housing

Here’s another reason it’s a great time to own rental property. Rising interest rates combined with high home prices are preventing many would-be buyers from purchas ing a home. The rising rates are dimin ishing purchasing power and creating a market where someone can get a much nicer rental home then they can afford to purchase, making it more enticing to rent then own.

Coupled with other demographic trends including a large generation entering the workforce who are looking for housing, as well as the Millennial’s placing a greater focus on spending for experiences rather than tying up capital in housing, younger potential buyers are driving up the demand for rental housing. Let’s explore further the driv ers of this interesting market.

Low Inventory

We still have very low inventory in Orange County and significantly higher mortgage rates are preventing a massive number of homeowners from selling their homes. With 72% of all owners having a 30-year fixed rate mortgage of 4% or lower, many do not want to give up their low interest rate and buy a new home at a higher rate. For a seller who wants to downsize, if they sell now,

they could end up having the exact same monthly payment for a much smaller home.

Diminished Buying Power

To show you how this works, con sider that an owner with a $2,000,000 home and a 3% fixed interest rate for a 30-year mortgage would have the same monthly payment as an owner with a $1,500,000 home and a 6.5% interest rate. It doesn’t make sense for the homeowner to downsize. This illus trates why even fewer homeowners are placing their homes on the market. They don’t want to give up their lowinterest mortgage.

Those who are selling now are oftentimes opting to rent because they can cash out and lower their monthly payment by renting a home.

Active Inventory

The active listing inventory at the start of the Fall season sat at 3,638 homes for sale in all of Orange County. The 3-year average prior to COVID was 6,520 homes on the market at the exact same time of year, which is 79% more for sale signs. As interest rates remain elevated and we head into the winter season, inventory is continuing to diminish, which is typical for this

time of year. In 2023, the question will be whether or not inventory decreases at the same pace as buyer demand.

Distressed Sales

While some buyers are waiting for a housing market crash with hopes of getting a great deal, distressed homes (both short sales and foreclosures com bined) made up only 0.2% of all listings in Orange County with only five fore closures and two short sales in October. By comparison, during the housing crisis of 2008 there were almost 6,000 distressed homes on the market.

Prices

Real estate prices and rents have been skyrocketing for the past twoand-a-half years. Once the Feds abruptly raised interest rates, that changed everything. While they are trying to tamp down inflation, the mar ket has been behaving like a seesaw. When interest rates went down slightly, buyers flooded the market and real estate prices went up. When interest rates remained elevated, buyers retreated from the market and rental prices rose. Both housing prices and rental rates factor into inflation, so it’s a difficult balancing act for the Fed to figure out.

Opportunities

With such low inventory, what I’m seeing is my sellers who have proper ties that are highly desirable, with

Plans, Goals & Legacies

Almost two years ago, I focused on the goals of apartment own ership from more of a personal perspective in my article entitled, “Family Traditions & Legacies” (Apartment News, December 2020).

At that time, we were just coming out of the first round of the pandemic. Restrictions were loosening, but no one really knew what lay ahead.

Unfortunately, today, we still face uncertainties. And priorities are chang

ing. After what was over two years of being forced to stay at home, many have taken to travelling. Health issues have arisen. Complexities in navigating systems have added a whole new layer of challenges.

All considered, it is time to revisit that original question: What is it that you really want your ownership to accomplish?

Bill Gorman, when he wrote his book, Cash In on the Myths of Real Estate, put at the very top of his list the importance of having a real estate plan. Just like a financial plan, a real estate plan requires not only goal setting, but benchmarks and periodic evaluations.

In his “Cash In” for Myth 1-1, Bill stated: “Write down your plan and be specific in your goals so that you can evaluate your options in quantifiable terms.” He then added the saying that he has so often told his clients: “If you do not have a real estate plan, the economy has one for you.”

The economy is almost always a top-

of-mind concern. Apartment operations have already been impacted by supplychain issues and labor shortages that have driven up the cost of repairs and maintenance. As a further hit to cashflow, local and state ordinances have made collecting late and unpaid rent a long and burdensome undertaking.

Now apartment owners are facing the consequences of higher inflation. The Fed has already stepped in with aggressive interest rate hikes. Already there is talk of layoffs or, at a minimum a slowdown in hiring. This raises the possibility of residents losing jobs and not being able to pay their rents.

As so ably explained by Nick Lieberman in his recent “Pulse on the Marketplace” report for Apartment News (October 2022), rate increases put a strong pressure on prices and val ues. This is already being seen in the for-sale residential market. The good news, as Lieberman noted, is that more,

Properties that are coming on the market overpriced, and not properly presented, are sitting longer and having price reductions.

higher-income earners can’t qualify for loans at today’s mortgage rates, so they are remaining renters longer.

With a written real estate plan, you can start to look at and quantify the possible impacts of these forces will have on your properties and on the goals that you established.

However, you also need to do some serious thinking about the “why” behind those goals.

Most investors got started with the desire to create a nest egg for their retirement and financial security for their entire family. More often than not, that nest egg morphed into a sec ond job of collecting rents, handling repairs and getting units rent-ready upon turn-over. Now, the question is

Ill-timed and unprepared buyers are losing out on deals.

If your apartment ownership goals involve having your children inherit your properties, now is the time to do a check-in with them. What are their hopes and visions? How do they see all that you have accomplished in wealthbuilding through real estate as a part of their future?

The holidays are often when families get together. So, this year, you might consider spending an hour or so doing some asking and listening. What you learn may provide some great insight and even some direction as you start review

Armada Power

Armada Power is a transformative technology company offering a patented water heater and grid storage solution that proactively manages individual water heaters into millisecondresponse for a wide range of energy products. Armada’s oneof-a-kind solution effectively unlocks the storage potential of individual water heaters, reduces demand and fuel costs, and enhances grid reliability.

Armada Power’s solution includes several innovative com ponents:

• Pre-heating — Armada Power can heat all tanks to their maximum mechanical temperature prior to an event to ensure maximum user comfort.

• Dual thermistors — Top and bottom temperature mea surements are taken to optimize energy storage capabilities.

• Revenue-grade metering chip — Ensures accurate measure ments, including the ability to bill quality usage data.

• Measurement and validation — Accurate, real-time, and historical data of events and customer impacts.

• Maintenance alerts — The Armada Power solution can determine water heater issues such as burned-out elements, leads, or excessive water draws before the customer notices.

Likewise, Armada Power unlocks many potential product applications to support the grid:

• Non-invasive demand response — Intelligently manage demand response events with pre-heating to enhance the customer experience.

• Time-of-use optimization — Optimize time-of-use rates through shifting water heating with intelligent pre-heating.

• Cold load pickup — Randomization of the time required for water heater reheating after extended outages is built into the firmware.

• Additional stackable applications include renewable firm ing, rebound limits, local feeder congestion, frequency balancing, microgrid stability, and load control

Armada Power solves the grid’s biggest challenges through secure, affordable, grid-scale thermal energy storage. Imagine how Armada Power can work for you.

Pearl X

As a property owner, you’ve likely experienced the misalignment between the wider push for sustainability in real estate and the core fundamentals of operating a profit able multifamily asset. Sustainable retrofits such as rooftop solar, energy efficiency and EV charging infrastructure are often structured as capital-intensive projects that might improve property operations but ultimately result in a net loss for the owner. At PearlX, we seek to solve that misalign ment by partnering with owners to turn sustainability proj ects into bankable income sources while still providing residents with amenities that make your property more attractive to renters.

PearlX is a clean technology developer, finance partner and asset manager. We provide, at no cost to the commu nity, clean energy and electrification products that translate into income streams for owners and deliver discounted, clean and reliable energy to residents. Our product suite is anchored by a rooftop solar and backup battery storage array, called the PearlX Virtual Power Plant (VPP). This central product can be paired with additional electrification projects like electric vehicle charging stations, LED lighting, electric heat pumps, and more.

Operating through a triple net lease, we cover all insur ance, tax and maintenance expenses for the VPP and pro vide annual rent payments to the property for the right to operate our system, selling the clean power we generate back to the residents at a discount. PearlX handles all con struction and interconnection, staying in close contact with the onsite community all the while. Our products are cus tom-tailored to the unique considerations of the multifam ily sector, helping owners monetize their property’s energy use in a way unparalleled in the market.
