Just bought my first home..AH WOO HOO!!

[Adam West]

Congrats. It's a great market for a buyer right now with so many houses in foreclosure.

Damien, if I were you, I'd contest the property tax appraisal. The value that you are paying on has to be what the house is worth today, not what it was worth a year ago. If the house were worth more, it would have sold for its fair market value and it did not.

The worst that can happen is for them to say no but sounds like you might be able to get a $1,000 or more knocked off that tax bill.

PM me if you need any help.

yeah I tried..trust me.But supposedly here you have to pay the first year what it last sold for or what it's worth now(which ever is higher I guess) next year it'll go down to the $159K I paid for it

all the home in the same community are going in the $200's ,I personally don't get it but what can you right? Thanx man
