my property tax. melloroos, and association all amont to about 700 a month. It would be swell to move into a place that didn't have associations but every neighborhood in my city does as it used to be farmland and the housing is all less than 20 years old. unless you buy one of the very few remaining old farms (which are not in good shape). My association does next to nothing. In 10 years they've repainted the houses once and repaved the streets once. there are probably 500 houses in this association and they are all occupied. don't ask me where the money goes. totally mismanaged. So that said every month I break even. I don't eat out, I don't have cable or any services besides prime (which saves me money in the end due the free deliveries) i eat hamburger and rice for 3/4 of my meals.... and I break even. If I was not burning 700 a month, I might actually be able to save for my future. I cannot afford to live anywhere else, I can't seem to find a comperable job in another city. Man am I trying. feels bad. I have 2 degrees and 15 years experience in tech.

Property Tax = Rent There is No Private Property.

[@tonykool5347]

There can be NO private property located within the United States because you NEVER paid for it. You USED Federal Reserve Notes or debt instruments to PURCHASE not buy a home. You have equitable title, NOT legal title. When you purchase "property", you have the right to USE it without liability, ie to be sued without paying for it. The government considers this a BENEFIT and the fact that you used the private credit or federal reserve note means you have CONSENT to accept the benefit subject to the liability. All property located within the jurisdiction of the US is owned by the US government IN trust and has an IRRECUSABLE FIRST LIEN RIGHT UPON IT - since it has not been paid for. This includes the bank account, pension account, car, home, etc. The government has the legal right to confiscate what you think is your property. THAT IS THE LAW!

The entire tax structure is misused and misguided into paying for other pet projects not intended therefore shorting the intended use causing those original taxes to be increased, rinse and repeat over and over again.

Public school teachers should not be paid forever by the homeowners even if these home owners do not use the school systems!!! The home owners are paying These teachers long after They retire even to another lower tax tax, for their pensions! The only reasons WHY the Supreme Court has Not. ruled on the constitutionality of property taxes is because this has NEVER been brought forward, because THOSE that Benefit from these taxes are to powerful and to connected.

Every year I file a property tax protest, prepare a market analysis, create my strategy for the informal hearing and pray I get a property value reduction.

I'm glad we're finally having this discussion. to me one of the problems with eliminating property tax, is most of the people benefiting from our property taxes don't pay property taxes. most of the people benefiting are apartment dwellers and I know what people think, they think that the landlords the property owners of apartment buildings and such pay the property taxes. but that's not really fair if you think about it if we're going by person by person the people who live in apartments and townhouses they're not actually paying their fair share. it is a screwed up idea to tax the property of a person and then say that it's constitutional because we've been doing it for in some places 200 years. it's not fair it should not even be legal where does it stop you know we do pay a kind of a tax for our cars in the form of our license you know we have to have our license renewed and we have to buy a sticker every year but they don't come out and take your car because you decide not to register it so that's not a good argument I've heard people raise that argument before. anyway the problem is if the repealing of property tax goes to vote and some areas or districts I guess as they're called The majority of the people that are going to vote are going to be people who don't own properties some will never own a property but the politicians that want to keep the property taxes it would seem like they're going to get these people all riled up and tell them everything that they're going to lose which can be mental health money school money money for in some places like in the city I live which is Cincinnati money for the zoo. and you know how people are if they're getting something that they're not paying for they're not going to want to stop getting it so it's going to have to be up to the people who are trying to get the laws changed to get through to the people reaping all the benefits that there are other ways to me that seems like the giant task at hand. it's not always easy to convince people who are not paying for a service to give it up or even the show them that they're not giving up anything. That's the problem with a majority rules society you know what they consider Democratic the many get the control things for everyone The many meaning the ones with no resources or not a lot of resources get to make decisions for the few with all of the resources that is ridiculous when you think about it a poor person on government subsidized programs you know rent food stamps healthcare you have hundreds of thousands if not millions of these people and they can make decisions for a property owners property.

Can you rent out rooms? One has to be flexible & adapt if life changes.You will be surprised: learn how to select the right people & give them a nicely furnished room (from Thrift stores) with cheap rent, access to a kitchen, polite landlord, they will stay for years. The rent you are collecting MUST BE just enough to cover the Property Taxes, Insurance & Utilities. Don't try to make more money as a second income, the rooms will be too expensive. You must calculate carefully- just to cover the property expenses is plenty. Impose house rules & give it to possible renters from day one. If they don't pay their rent, after 3 days give them an eviction note, don't wait & let them B.S you with excuses. They can pay half of the rent now than keep looking for more income & eventually will catch up on their payments. I dealt with tenants for 15 years, if you follow my experience you will offset the rising cost of everything. One must be willing to adapt to changes. Good Luck & be brave!
