lived through the Walker protest in Madison, it stuns me people aren't reacting to the non budget more vocally.  

As a lender we clearly state in our term sheet and Letter of Intent the relationship of the parties - and many brokers protest or ask us to "hide" the fact that they are intermediaries - we of course decline.The truth is that while it is possible to gain a SLIGHTLY better rate, or terms for any given deal risk, there is no  money available for tremendously cheaper rates than is customary for the type of deal, borrower and risk.So, if you are trying to finance an industrial building, with a non credit tenant in place, and you are looking for 65% LTV, and you have decent credit, and money is available at 12-14% with 3-5 points, an offer of 7% interest and 1 point is totally bogus.

I was able to submit a protest from my current property, and got somewhat an average deal.  

My property taxes for this year are $3000 but are going down by 64% for 2017 due to a successful protest.    

If you do keep it to rent, be sure to protest the property taxes each year to try and keep the values down.Of course, if you want to sell as-is, give me a shout!

And you can always protest if you think it's obscenely low.

The property taxes tax attorneys who specialize in tax protests generally take on for no cost and get a percentage of the savings.

If a potential tenant protests that, that's a good indication that you shouldn't rent to them.

Oh, also, suddenly on the day they protest these charges, there appears a negative 2 star rating on my google business page, from someone who has never been a tenant.

And if you turn this question around and ask me if I were in the shoes of the protesters above would I move, the answer is 100% absolutely.
