For all you folks in the path of Harvey...

I just said a prayer for you. Good luck!

Thank you!* Swingman is in Arkansas for the summer.* ;~(

Nailshooter, in San Antonio, is concerned and my wife and I are
in the
NE area of Texas.* We will have to watch out for the 25+inches of
rain
over the next few days.

Thank you again!
Give it up, Bubba... I am so under water at this point even my
reality
check bounced, so broke I can't even afford a trip down memory lane.

I'm glad to hear you are in good health!* I'm sorry you encountered
some "speed bumps".** I sincerely hope that things go your way (you
have too good of an attitude for that not to happen)!

I'm pretty sure that was an imposter and not the real Swingman.


No, I think that was him.

The tax bill looks legit although I'm not sure how you don't pay any
property taxes for close
to 10 years. Don't they foreclose after a while?


In Texas, perhaps other states, you can claim the property tax deferral
exemption at 65.* When you sell you owe back taxes plus 8% interest
IIRC.* Not a bad deal IF your home appreciates in value or if you never
sell.


Looking at the dates and lateness you can infer it is a tax deadbeat,
but knowing of the deferment option, it is a pretty good fiscal tool.
I'd do that here if offered. I have no plans to move so the taxes would
come out of my kid's inheritance when they sell this place.

Good for Swingman.

That's not a lot different than a reverse mortgage. I wouldn't do
either, though.
