My husband at that time and I worked on the house and mortgaged it for about $25K to do repairs… then after the divorce a few years ago, I refinanced again for more money to put in a new furnace and stuff. I live pretty cheap considering Indiana has high property taxes… which are through the roof… and causing quite a problem here. It is down right ridiculous… My house is worth about 100K now.. I'm still working on it.. and hope to sell it for more than that in the future.

I think I should move to La…(that is cheap for a home) or Texas.. no property or sales tax (TX)… wow.

Since filing Homestead Exemption our taxes run less than $40 per year.

They were $600 before

wow... I pay $65 a month for house taxes... and according to coworkers... my taxes are still low, my house is older and on the lower end of houses around here (at least in this suburb).

oh, and that is with a homestead exemption...
