I'd recommend looking at property taxes on county website and comparing this to taxes on closing docs to see if it's been prorated or if it's the full amount. 

@Adam Peralto More & more owners are posting here on BP about their rentals sitting vacant too long.Which means owners aren't paying attention to the rental market - which is slowing, causing Days On Market (DOM) to increase:(Take a look at the graph below from ShowMojo, comparing average DOM for 2018-2024.DOM are now about 40% longer than they were 2 years ago.Many owners also don't seem to be aware of real estate market fundamentals, such as seasonal effects:1) After September, when kids go back to school, there's a noticeable dip in activity in both the sales & rentals.2) After Halloween, there's another noticeable dip.

I have new builds in the city of Miami where its taken me 2 years for approvals compared to unicorporated Miami Dade where I can have approvals in as quickly as 3-6 months.

Meanwhile, I could rent a comparable home for under $2,500.

Cashout refi seems to be a cheaper way to capture the post-appreciation equity before the next recession takes it away, compared to:1.

It took a while, and there were some fees involved, but it was totally manageable compared to what I would’ve paid with an attorney.

I'm curious to hear about your experience here in Boston - I know the Seaport looks like it's own independent city compared to 5 years ago!

The rent was $1450, so yes that's relatively expensive compared to that income but that's assuming a part time job for both of them.

I’m noticing that rent rates are surprisingly high compared to the somewhat competitive and affordable housing pricing.Single-family homes, some new construction are going for mid 300’s and rent is usually $2500 or higher.

I would just find comparable parcels in the changed zone that have sold and use those.
