Why is property taxes in arrears unattractive?

[Trevor Bond]

Hi,

I currently go to school in Illinois and l understand that this state has property taxes in arrears. As a rookie investor l have heard that is unattractive. I am wondering why? The principle of putting off debt until later sounds like a good idea…. I am confused on this and could use some help.

While I’m here what makes a state unnatractive to invest in (other than high property taxes) compared to other states?

Thank you and God Bless!
