Is this a way you can save and right now you may be okay just -$200 God forbid taxes increase in our area as they once were I could kick somebody's --- at the assessment office.

Did you do the comps your self?

When assessing the “reasonable” standard elements that need to be considered are the size of the room, fire and health codes and any other applicable city regulations.

Objective of the group is to meet in person & "mastermind" over lunch.

I called in a plumber to assess and quote replacement of the damaged section of pipe.

I've self-managed two properties total, but one was an easy-to-manage white collar condo type deal, and the other is still in my property--a friend, so no hassles there.I've never self-managed in TX, nor do I know the laws/in/outs, etc.

I am the type of person who often self reflects and hesitates to point the finger first, ask questions later.

The risk is self contained in the asset itself.

If I knew it was going to happen, I'd "retire" early -- I'd liquidate everything, move my family to another country where people are less focused on material things and are more self-sufficient and I'd start on my long list of books that I've been meaning to get to.

On another past appraisal they came in at the exact dollar amount of the towns tax assessment....again a little bit fishy and that one really annoyed me because I felt it was too low and we were refinancing for a better interest rate and it caused us to lose enough equity to require PMI.
