I was job surfing the other day and found a job I liked in upstate New York. Was all set to apply, and even found a nice, cheap house I was interested in ($140,000), but then asked the realtor what the annual property and school taxes were.
I was STUNNED when he wrote back that the yearly taxes were $32,000!!!
So, I would have a monthly mortgage payment of about $800, but a tax bill of about $2,666 a month on top of that!
Am I the only one that sees the absolute INSANITY of this situation? Jeebus! How do you New Yorkers NOT rise up and burn down all your local government offices and kill the Vampires that work in them?
My annual tax bill where I live now is about $1000 a year for a $250,000 house!
