I have been looking to buy a little home for myself and your right, the taxes are crazy...one place I looked at the monthly tax was almost as much as the monthly mortgage pmt! 4-7 k a year in taxes on a 150-180k home....I hate it here but I'm stuck for the next 4 years here...my son in law pays 17k a year in property tax!! Crazy ass state
I know. The taxes are about half of your mortgage escrow account. But the rents are high too. I have noticed in my town that a large percentage of the single family homes are rentals. You can see at least 4 (usually more) cars parked at the houses. It's really getting crowded.
