🚨 Property Taxes Can Cost You THOUSANDS More Than You Expect! 🚨

Most homebuyers focus on the mortgage payment, but many overlook one of the biggest ongoing expenses: property taxes.

Did you know property tax rates across the U.S. can vary dramatically? Some states have effective rates as low as 0.29%, while others exceed 1.8% of a home's value annually. That difference can mean thousands of dollars per year depending on where you buy.

💡 Before purchasing a home, ask yourself:
✅ How much will property taxes add to my monthly payment?
✅ Are there homestead exemptions available?
✅ How do local tax rates affect affordability?
✅ Could a lower-tax area save me money long-term?

Many buyers qualify for a home they love but are surprised when taxes significantly impact their monthly budget.

👇 Let's have some fun!
What do you think is more important when buying a home?
️1. Lower property taxes
2. Better schools
3. Shorter commute
4. Larger home
