I've owned property there off and on over the last 13 years, and would welcome an opportunity to invest there again. 

They turned it off and refuse to turn it back on.

Then you would get to take a partial exemption tax free. 

I would love to bounce some ideas off of you guys and pick your brains! 

When buying a Real Estate consider property tax new cost specially in today's Market.

If you are setting aside funds for capex, taxes, insurance, or other expenses that don't occur monthly, transfer those funds to Savings each month and hold them there until it's time to spend them.

AI can be beneficial both for operations as well as your taxes.

We have found that finding an investor-savvy agent to buy property on market and a solid wholesaler to buy off market properties is the perfect marriage to find deals. 

If I'd know that I'd be paying it for the life of the loan I would have been better off paying the extra 5% down payment and enjoyed the lower interest rate but I don't recall ever being informed of that or reading it anywhere in my documents.

If you are in a low tax bracket, it really may not be worth claiming.
