So your property tax is $11k (which is 5.1x my $400k home just outside Charlotte)? Because on $210k mortgage with 3.5% interest rate is only $7.3k per year in interest even if you didn’t pay it down at all ($210,000 *.035 = $7,300). I knew TX property taxes were higher but that is nuts!

I keep warning people about the New Jersey level of property taxation in Texas. All the Foghorn Leghorn bragging in the world won’t overcome a tax hit like that. Conservatives relocating who have some discretion as to where should look at other, lower cost conservative states.

I just checked. It is $235,000. And I have no idea where you are getting 3.5%.
