Скачать или смотреть The Property Tax Trap That Can Kill Your Deal Overnight

Most investors lose money on a deal long before they ever close it. Not because the property is bad, but because they trusted the wrong numbers. Property taxes are one of the biggest traps. When you see a tax bill that looks way too low, you must assume something is off.

Senior exemptions, homestead exemptions, VA reductions — these can slash the tax bill for the current owner, but the second you buy that property, every exemption disappears. That $2,000 tax bill can instantly jump to $5,000 or more, destroying your underwriting and your cash flow.

Always verify with the county before you submit an offer. A five minute phone call can save you thousands and prevent you from getting locked into a deal that doesn’t pencil out. Real underwriting isn’t guessing; it’s checking every assumption until the numbers have nowhere left to hide.
