In taxes? Good Lord!
In my little neck of Penn's Woods, $7,000/yr can get you the whole house! Certainly a nice Cape on half an acre can be had for $600/mo. Taxes on that property would be about $900/year.
Now you know why my mom wants to move. However, we have no mortgage so we're not going anywhere right now *LOL* Somehow we manage to pay the taxes every year. I can't say the same for the other fifty percent of the resident of this place.
