So, the county assessor thinks my house is worth $100,000 more than I paid for it 9 months ago!

And, um, the houses around here haven't been going up in price. The assessor must have been smoking crack.

Property taxes are based on it. I don't want to pay an extra $1,000 a year because the assessor has been hitting the crack pipe.

Owning a home must be just one big pain after another, I prefer renting, but then again I'm in the minority on that one. Having a House= Expensive 2 me. my roomie/partner owns the house I live in and constantly bitching about this that and the other thing, it is a hefty expense, and to top the cake comes the property taxes which is paid monthly, rather than yearly.

AHHhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, haven't I noticed that the retail price of homes in the States have depreciated by about 20 % since that wonderful M&L scandal?--- The houses I looked at in FA have reduced by about a third in value?

I ahve owned 4 houses in Canada and have made a profit on each one.
It's about the only way a person can ama** a small fortune and not pay tax on it. (In Canada)

The taxes are unwelcome and the mortgage system in Canada sucks lemons but the fact remains that, since about 1939, if you buy a house and maintain it you will maka about 10 to 15 % a year on the principle.
Pay mortgage and taxes for ( 3 br house) 60 months 60X800 = 48,000.
Your house has appreciated by about 50,000

Pay rent for (1 br apt 60 months 60X800 = 48,000
Your rent has been appreciated by the landlord who collects your rent because his apartment is now worth about 25,000 bux more and your rent is going up to 950.00/mo

You could always try to sell it for an extra 100,000 and go buy something cheaper
