Taxs do suck alot. The 1/2 acre lot that has the house from 1880 on it I covered the windows and doors is 580 sqft cost 1,000 a year. The 1 acre with the 3,000 sqft house built in 1989 is 5 bd 3 bath living room and den is 2,360 a year.
House payment

My grandparents own 15 acres of oceanfront property with 3 houses, 2 shops, 2 rv pads, a fish processing plant, and a wharf. Taxes and insurance are over $35K /year for them.
bought mine for 52,000 on one acre. Put 50,000 into the house and built a garage. appraised at 150,000 at the bottom of the market crash. Two loans combined I pay 1000ish. That's taxes and everything. The second loan is just for 10 years though. Not bad for an almost brand new 1700sq. ft house with a 28x32 garage. I live in an area where there is no money. I bet average income is well under 50k. Don't let your house own you. Get something that you can comfortable pay for. just my .02.
Well I'm a renter, renting a farm house in kentucky for $500 a month everything included. Looking to buy in the next couple of years, good thread!
I'm on a 1.05 acre lot in the middle of town. Very small house, <1000 sq ft. Paid 67k in 05. I slowly remodeled and recently got appraised at 110k. All of my bills combined for a month don't equal what some of yinz pay for a mortgage. Thank god I have positive equity.
Wow most of these house payments are more than I make in a month. We looked for two years for a house couldn't find anything we both liked so we bought a new trailer last year 425 month. We are going to in the next year or to start to look for some property I want at least 5 to 6 acres build an shop and then build a nice home just might take so time doing it thus way. But we will get what we want and not someones else's junk.
i live in a 1800 SQF townhouse, 1580 month payment. taxes are 2300 year now mind you my front yard is 22x8 and the back yard 22x56 
1300, went up to 1500... its sold and now rent for 1500 till I can find my next house. House sold to darn fast!
Is that your 47 apache too?Which one
$0.... so glad it's paid off. After seeing the total paid would be triple the financed amount if I carried the loan full term, I paid it off as fast as possible.
The past few years were not fun, but now I get to bank the house payment & hopefully retire before I die.

Its sickening when you look at the money borrowed VS the money paid back on a 30 year
Good for you on being able to buckle down and pay it off early:thumb:
