This way I have no property taxes and if anything goes wrong with the house I don't have to worry about anything. For example, the city I live in made the eighty-something year old landlady and everyone else on the street pay over $2500 each just to add some plumbing in their yards for new water meters that met the city code. I am going to be looking for a house with more property and maybe a pool this summer. Of course, your money goes a lot further in suburban Michigan than it does here in South FL!

Yep. You definitely have trade offs from rental to house. That is for sure. Luckily, I found a dude who is just happy to work. So he just keeps plugging away on projects.
I know what you mean on that abatement shit. Or whatever it's called. When I was looking at houses, I made sure not to really consider those one main streets, some under construction, and shit. Those new roads, water lines, and shit really jack up your taxes on top of the rest.
