Filing for Homestead Exclusions

[Account Closed]

I just finished reading "Investing in Duplexes, Triplexes and Quads" by Larry Loftis. There is a section he brings up about claiming a Homestead Exclusion for your primary residence. I have never done this. Does anybody have any experience with filing for this exclusion for the benefit of reducing your property taxes?

Daniel Timpert I just did it! The only "drawback" is they did it for 1/4 of the overall property since I occupy 1/4 units but it save me almost $400 in taxes!
