After reading about your eviction, it really has made me really appreciate, again, having 10 acres and my home paid for without a mortgage. Life is so much better like this. Insulated against so many things out there thank the good Lord.
Good luck brother, work hard to pay for your own place, and not with a mortgage

I just paid my home off a year ago. Sure feels nice not having to write a check every month for over a thousand bucks.
Guess I played the game of life as well as anyone. Have my home 2 cars, a pickup truck a touring motorcycle, all paid for. I owe nothing to no one Only thing I worry about now is how high my electric bill is gonna get.

I do have a nice decked out fishing kayak. Lot of fun and you can take it where boats can’t go, if you can fight off the snakes.

Congrats! I did too much f*cking around in my youth to say I’m debt free. Now I’m playing catch up, but to be free is definitely the goal.

Shut the front door! How many properties is that? 5?? I paid $10,800 this year in taxes… On ONE house. Technically a 3 bedroom, 1 bath with family room and living room (for zoning, we really use the family room as 4th bedroom), 2 car garage on a little less than 3/4 acre.

This is Los Angeles
In Town called Tujunga
This piece of dirt with the rock house is valued at almost 900 000 while the house needs to be torn down and mind u its only as big as the photo.
The behind that house is a boat but that all.u can fit behind the house. So what u see in the photo is the whole lot.

lol So this has turned into a ‘mine-is-bigger’ show-n-tell?
I got a 1/2acre, 1 vehicle, house, barn and 2 outbuildings. All paid for and taxes on everything run around $100/yr.
But, I’ve also got my best friend-the woman of my dreams, and together we’re living our dreams.
Been there, done that with all that other crap taxes would crush an average income and too much headache! Had 7 homes-all paid for, several trucks, van, 2cars-all paid for, boat/trailer-ditto paid for. About 30 yrs ago now, the taxes ate us up, and if not the taxes then the tenants with tearing stuff up faster than I could fix it! Owned 2 businesses and also 1 ‘dark’ biz-gorillagrow… lol
But now, in the condition both of us have gotten to be in…I’m DAMN glad it’s what it is!
