Okay, SK, fair enough. But, just so we’re on the same page, the tax savings is more than a “few bucks.” It adds up to many, many thousands of dollars over the course of the lifespan of a typical retiree.
If you all don’t mind, I don’t mind … but I (if given this oppt’y), would have done everything in my power to make “mom’s house” mine, whether or not I chose to actually reside there 🙂
Location and/or condition be damned.[/quote]
It would have saved her about $3,500 a year. There are a lot of homes in Allied Gardens where the savings wouldn’t have been that much. Even with the low taxes, it wouldn’t have made a good rental, rents just aren’t high enough.[/quote]
I’m not quite understanding you. Was your mom’s house in Allied Gardens or Del Cerro? And is your sister’s house in Allied Gardens or Del Cerro?
