For example, if the accessed value is $400K (a real possibility if it has been owed since the 1970s), the prop taxes will be less than $5K/year (prop tax is safe to assume no more than 1.25% of accessed value (there may be somewhere in the state that is higher than this but this is safe percent to use)).So you may want to determine the property tax due before worrying too much on if they have to be paid prior to assets being dispersed as there will be numerous other bills that will need to be paid prior to the assets being dispersed (utilities, gardeners, etc.).Good luck

Cities like Redford, Westland, Wayne, Garden City, Dearborn and Dearborn Heights, and Taylor are all good areas to look into.

Great idea, I love the Gazebo venue, we did something way smaller, with rentable gardens.

I think what a lot of these liberal "shut it down forever" types are really doing is engaging in Status Signalling..basically bragging: When they say, "Oh, I just think we should remain safer at home for 1 year, or 2 years if necessary to keep everyone safe," What they really mean is "I'm so rich, no amount of shutdown could ever affect me; and I can save on my utility bill by watering my garden with tears of the poor!"

I was inclined to put grass right up to the house and skip gardens.

The tax benefits including writing off half of all utilities, maintenance like gardener, plumbing services, HVAC servicing, anything that affects the rental side I can write off.
