To give you some perspective on what those tax increases can look like here are some examples of the changes based on some of my properties that I own in the city:$4096 -> $5522 (+1426)$3850 -> $5516 (+1666)$3835 -> $6283 (+2448)These are only some examples, but all of the properties that I own have increased in its tax assessed value, therefore drastically increasing the taxes per year and decreasing annual cash flow.While tax assessments are normal it seems that this is a very drastic effort to recuperate losses.

In today's dollar terms if we bring in $10K/month with real-estate cash-flow that would make us financially independent.Current real-estate portfolio:  - Own 4 properties, mostly duplexes in the state of Oklahoma
