Yes, you read that correctly, the appeal can go either way or stay the same, you lose if the taxes go up.My brother appealed taxes on a house in Philadelphia and got a 12% reduction using the guy below:Jerald GoldfineRE Tax Associates of Pennsylvania LLCGood luck.

Thank you very much brother!

My goal is to have at least 5 rentals in the next 5 years, with the first rental being a new build house hack in Florida so that I can escape the Michigan winters and the Florida summers.

It ain't closed till it's closed brother.

I've been doing land and cabins and I partnered with ex brother in law to get our gc license last year.

My husband and brother both have extensive backgrounds in construction, while I have experience in design, so I am very confident that with the updates we would make, the house could be worth over $900k.

Part of the reason I invested in the Oregon Coast in 2018 was I thought to myself, "In twenty years this is going to be a great escape."

yeah my parents and brother both got home insurance below $2000 that is close to that area, and they just renew it recently too, so I thought our estimate would be correct.... and the option period is already passed, if this doesn't seem to be good deal anymore, we can just back out of it and lose earnest money right ?

Thanks for this thread, I'm trying to help my sister and brother in law with a VA loan / property, and am trying to find info on a lender that offers VA rehab loans.  

My thought is do what you have to do brother...
