I'm sure what will happen if the govt. attempts to restrain trade, that they will be bombarded with protest and won't be able to hire enough housing cops, since there will become a bigger underground property trade than already exists.

:protest: rain please!

(Don't know if it's important, but the fiduciary info points to a property tax protest service.)Thanks for the help,Sandy

The protests were 95% peaceful, with 5% making the news as violent scofflaws looking to harm people who have done nothing wrong.

I also tended to be more generous with tenants who didn't protest the late fee for rent -- if you're late, you're late.

Should we look forward to more protests this year?

I'll give her a few hundred bucks, but I'm not paying for a new floor that will be stained with oil in three weeks.Anyway, my protests aside, I greatly appreciate the feedback.

I actually just got back from a Property Tax Protest Hearing with the ARB Board of my County, and the people who were on the board as well the appraiser himself are very versed in a lot things like what things are worth and of course property values, and I thought "Man, any of these guys would make a HELL of an asset to a REI team, maybe I should look into so on and so forth" I'm sure some of them have their share of RE related businesses in one form or another.

Imagine the protest if SBA-sponsored financing was channeled to one specific industry and experienced substantial losses.

We hire a company to protest our property tax bills on our behalf.
