@Dennis Rodriguez

Hello Dennis.  Quick question.  About how much higher are the taxes if we are purchases for ourselves initially(Owner Occupied? 

Also, would you be able to add some input on a very recent post I had about property taxes?

Hello Everyone,

I have a quick question about finding accurate Property Tax info.I want to make sure I am doing it correctly because of course the numbers have to make sense.

So I’m in Harris County here in Houston, Texas.  I went to the Harris County Tax Assessors website and pulled the property by the address and saw that the total taxes for 2014 are $699.29… Is that it?  It seems too easy.  I feel like I’m missing something.

Also, I know Zillow can be super-duper inaccurate with numbers but can they be this inaccurate…. They stated that the total 2014 taxes for the property was $1,824… that’s a whopping $1,124.71 difference. (Below)

I’m hoping Zillow is just that off.

Thanks in advance

Very interesting thread.  Any updates yet? @Nelson M.

@Brian Karlow

Hey Brian, this was a very interesting thread and I really learned a lot.  I'm curious if you have found a deal since this post?

@Julie Haveman

Oh okay, that sounds nice.  Thank you for your input

@Kevin Nichols

Hey Kevin, above you mentioned that you did not pay utilities in your duplex.  Is that the norm for duplexes? (for the owners not to pay utilities)

@Eric Blackford any updates with the situation?
