[SK in CV]

I have to disagree with SD Realtor. When lenders require it (which is almost always) escrow does pay property taxes when escrows close and property taxes are due. 1st installments are due 11/1 and delinquent if not paid by 12/10, 2nd installments are due 2/1, delinquent if not paid before 4/10. They lien on the due dates. So most months, taxes will not be paid, only prorated, but if they are upaid from 11/1 to 12/10 and 2/1 to 4/10 they will be paid directly from escrow.

So if you close after 2/1 but before 4/10, and property taxes haven’t been paid, escrow will pay it, but from the sellers funds, not yours. (At least that’s usually the way they do it, because it will technically have liened against the seller.) You will have a precise prorate of the actual tax bill which is due on 4/10.

Between July 1 and November 1, taxes may be estimated because they have not yet liened, and the precise amount may not be known (though the estimates are usually pretty good.) That estimate will be based on the previous assessed value. If the new assessed value is less, you’ll get a refund and a negative supplemental tax bill.

I appreciate the comment…

[quote=Cabal]I don’t agree Juanitas parents should try to sneak her into this country. But for the record, I admire SK in CVs unconditional love for the well being of innocent children whose circumstances are no fault of their own. Some may call this naïve, I see it as a sign of nobility.[/quote]

but i think you read more into what i wrote than i intended. I simply asked whether the commenter thought one child was more worthy than another solely based on the birthplace of their parents. I was (and still am) dumbfounded by the response. I can’t even look at my own kids and believe they are more worthy or deserving than others simply because of my good fortune to be born in this country.

[quote=GH]My income last year was ($35,000) – that is NEGATIVE $35,000 for those not familiar with accounting rules, so I for one could not pay. I guess that leaves the rest of you who are apparently doing so well you can afford all this PC BS. Guess that makes ME a racist for not paying my share!

Did you know that in the United States we have ONE GM bankruptcy a WEEK if you aggregate all the small businesses which fail. Funny Obama believes we are SO RICH we were to pay for health care for all. Thank god for Massachusetts I will not be a criminal for refusing to pay my “fair share”![/quote]

Actually, Obama never proposed that the government pay for health care for all. Nor did anyone else in either house of congress. Not even close. But if believing that soothes the pain of your own failures, be my guest.

[quote=CA renter][quote=SK in CV]They don’t know the property is for sale?

Doesn’t the for sale sign in front kinda give it away?[/quote]

People like this usually don’t put a sign out front.

Look at the picture in the link. There IS a sign out front.
