Usually, there are a handful of houses in the various towns I watch that the banks will take a significant reduction on the list price.This year, I'm not seeing any price reductions at all.

Based on current amortization schedule the current monthly principle reduction is around $1,100 per month.The home has some other unique features that are rare in the area such as a private double sized lot.

Despite the reductions, I am assuming the purchase prices are still substantially above what they would have been 5 and probably even 2 years ago - is that accurate? 

**Fees for which you receive nothing, no reduction in interest rate, no reduction in principle.

I just got one lowered by $60k saving me $1700/yr and another one is being reassessed by the Town Listers now which I'm hoping will get lowered by a whopping $125k or a 70% tax reduction.

So far, I have found a guy who will clean all the hallways, clean the laundry room, and shovel/salt in the winter for a $100 reduction in rent.

If your not RE pro or STR loophole qualified, best to stay focused on the more traditional tax reduction strategies like IRA, HSA and 401k 

Got a ways to go but really laser focused on debt reduction first and foremost.

The COVID-19 pandemic has made its mark on our real estate industry—from accelerating existing trends (like the reduction of retail footprints) to spawning new ones (such as a bigger focus on social justice and health and wellness).

This shows that even the politically ignorant and largely financially illiterate general public have enough common sense to recognize an obvious scam when they see one.If you vote in a sales tax, don't expect any long term reduction or offset in any other taxes.
