property taxes vary from 0.18% (louisiana) to 1.89% (new jersey) and in between those there's often a low state adjacent to a high state the tax is a percent of value, so lower the lower the value of the property. so if one got a $100,000 piece of land in louisiana (and there might be places much cheaper than that), then that would be $18,000 a year which sounds high and reduces to 18/12=9/6=3/2= $1,500/month
to clarify, this math was incorrect by a factor of 100 and the real property taxes are tiny. 0.18 * 100,000 = $180
now $1,500/month still sounds very high, but my social security is higher than that. i could pay it. of course we'd have to add a mortgage onto the taxes. so let's look for cheaper spots in louisiana. this property is $20,000 for a third of an acre: https://www.landsearch.com/properties/3456-hardy-st-shreveport-la-71109/3869... it's not common to see property that cheap. but it's real. and people commonly engage mortgages which lets one pay for the property slowly over many years, so the $20,000 would be split up over some years. i'm not experienced with property taxes, but if we multiply the % by the $ then the taxes would be ... only $36/year.
you could have property for only $36/year.
it sounds like it did the taxes wrong the first time, i think i misuses 0.18% as 18% which is incredibly much higher .$100,000 comes to $180 when multiplied by 0.18% .
so property taxes are something that's possible. somebody could pay for minimal property taxes by begging for money.
want to buy cheap property :D ... busy with other errands. maybe interesting though! wonder how close i am to qualifying for a mortgage
some say we are supposed to wait for all the cheap properties to get bought / handled first T_T but maybe it doesn't matter ??? maybe $36 vs $360 is not that big a difference ??
like the biggest hurdle to having money is not spending it, the biggest hurdle to having property is not going through the process of buying it
so i missed my opportunity for property engagement but there's a little energy there :D
and it's much nicer to be landless than simply tortured :)
time for supper, be well & have a nice evening/time of day
