California example: Pay a mortgage, taxes, repairs for 30 years mayby 900,000. Have a home valued 900,000. Get your money back.
Pay rent 2,000 a month for 30 years $720,000 no equity
About half of property taxes in Texas are for Public school districts. FAILING public school districts.
I demand a refund.
