A lot of first-time buyers are surprised to learn that their monthly mortgage payment includes more than just principal and interest. Property taxes are typically collected monthly by your lender and held in an escrow account — then paid on your behalf when they're due. Which means if your property taxes go up, your monthly payment also goes up. It's one of those details that doesn't always come up until it does — and by then it can feel like a surprise you weren't prepared for. Understanding the full picture of what your monthly payment actually includes is one of the most important things you can do before you buy. Ask your lender. Ask your agent. Know your numbers before you close.
