In the east, we tend to have the ad valorem system so the rate floats and its the assessment that matters, but it doesn't change with the purchase price.Also, there is the Homestead tax rebate in some areas which is available to homeowners who live in the residence..So, given the large swath of info you are trying to figure, you need to be location specific. 

You'll need a rising tide to float your ship.  

This is why many people are using the floating floor.

Needed at least 20 properties to floats the up and downs.2.

What is dangerous is to drift into the hype and make emotional decisions based on the market behavior rather than what your numbers are saying.

Sometimes I float verbal offers just to make sure it will be worth writing up an actual offer, but I would never consider a verbal agreement anything more than an opening up of negotiations.

That covers subfloor, finish floor, drywall, insulation, kitchen cabinets, the whole bathroom, plumbing, water heater, interior paint, exterior sheathing, siding repair, and a back deck to replace the one that floated away.

This is all the stimulus money floating around out there.

Hi, I have been browsing some properties, and the more I drift towards downtown big cities like Boston or Manhattan, I see these 8 to 16 unit complexes priced at ridiculous prices (understandable because of location) but it seems extremely high compared to the rent you can collect off of it.

I don't catch your drift.
