Tax assessed value in my area can fluctuate from a fairly accurate figure to "what the h&ll?".

It represents what you can trade it for, and market prices of assets fluctuate according to supply and demand.

I've found some information on varying sites, but the information is fluctuating quite a bit - so it would be nice to hear from someone who knows first hand.

I read there is some balancing law in effect with property taxes in OH that prevents them from fluctuating.

If you look at the price volatility over time, especially through the crisis, the SF property makes it look like much less price risk and income fluctuations.

In addition, a clause will exist which allows class B equity holders to sell their stake 10 years after the initial investment to myself or a company wholly owned by myself at a predetermined cap rate which fluctuates only with the interest rates at that point in time.

Another advantage is that it is common for renter to cover ALL costs, so heating oil and other fluctuations are not as much of a concern as with mult-unit.

It is not seasonal, but the demand for housing can fluctuate depending on:1.

I assume taxes fluctuate on their own so I wonder how that is dealt with.- Also in your opinions are the #'s different enough to justify trying to lower?

Just remember the rental and housing market just doesn't go up; it fluctuates so just get some more opinions from agents and investors in  The market you wish to invest in and be extremely careful because there's literally no margin for error.
