Property Tax Question

[Mike Montanye]

Total noob. Shopping for our first rental.

Some of the properties have taxes around $600/yr and others are $3000. Is there a deeper level thinking I might be missing when factoring that into our decision?

I’m just wondering if anyone has a particular strategy, when looking for a rental property, that uses the property taxes to make or break the deal. If anyone could provide me with the proper way I should be looking at property tax as it pertains to buy and holds it would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Different areas of the country tax real estate quite differently. If these are in different states that could explain it. In my area the local city/town taxes R.E., also the county, also the school district. Make sure your numbers are including all entities.
