Property Taxes - Learn from my mistake

Mario Arellano

Posted

I made the error in using information from Zillow on the cost of my property taxes.  I dug deeper into the cost by going to the county's website and the rate was higher.  There are also annual fees for trash and stormwater services that I'll have to pay.  The error doesn't kill the project but it does impact the cash flow amount.  

The error was my fault.  It wasn't difficult to find out what the current tax bill was/is for the property that I was looking into.  I know that market values can & will change, causing an increase in the taxes.  Either way, I will not be making this same mistake again.  

Hope you can learn from this mistake
