Here is the dictionary definition of correlation: a relation existing between phenomena or things or between mathematical or statistical variables which tend to vary, be associated, or occur together in a way not expected on the basis of chance alone.

Missing plaster, floors and walls; but full of dead animals, leaks and holes.So help me out in conquering my fear and putting it back into a mathematical equation.

Having a strong mathematics background, I feel pretty comfortable with my deal analyzing skill.

Given my mathematical background I also think that these issues are much easier  than something like differential equations.  

With this massive amount of debt, high rates are mathematically unsustainable so I see little incentive for central banks to take nations into default by increasing rates drastically.  

My educational background is Finance and Economics (I have a BSc in Finance and Mathematics and a PhD in Economic Development Policy). 

I follow 2 sets of data; starting with the Warren Group, which reports all recorded transactions shows us at a median (median = half of the houses sold for more and half sold for less; it's different than the mathematical average) selling price of $420,000, an all time high for August, up 4.71% from last August.  

Predicting future property tax rates is a crapshoot at best.Counties and municipalities typically set property tax millage rates, so you could dig into the meeting minutes of the relevant governing body looking for clues to an impending increase.But honestly, your best bet is to just look at 4-5 years of historical data and make a simple mathematical extrapolation.

We are no longer working with new customers on finance issues other than mathematically modeled credit matrixes for manufactured housing chattel lending and in the deployment of our and others money as investors in manufactured housing loans to large captive or related finance companies.

Mathematically though, it makes more sense to put as much as I can toward the HELOC to reduce my interest as quickly as possible and then eat the tax bill when it comes.
