That's BS. Real estate taxes are already a bummer since you really are already "renting" your home from the local government. If you do not pay those taxes, the government takes it from you and boots you out.
So in other words, because I’m living in my own house, I’m getting a tax break? Sheeeeeeeeeeit! Tax on imputed rent is basically a tax on property. Tax on real rent is an income tax. There is no actual tax break here.
