"And property taxes?! Holy cow.... About a quarter of what we paid up north on a comparably sized home, even with the 'big' tax increase of 8% that we had after years of no increases to speak of. No more spending thousands on heating bills! Our home was about seven years old when we bought it—and we promptly paid off the bond balance (a tad over $5,000)."
this is the reason a LOT of us came down here. living in high-cost areas taps people out until the quality of life drastically disappears. WELCOME!!! wishing you all the best
