Property Tax

[mrisha]

My property taxes are very high and it is a part of my mortgage.  But when taxes increase so does my mortgage.  Renting is the worst way to live.  You are paying huge for rent, yet you can't paint the walls and you have to put up with all the noise from other asses who live in the building.  Also the rent is usually so high and they can increase every year you sign your lease.  In other words you aren't getting anything back for paying all the rent but the Landlord does.

The house I am living in with 13.50 acres and this year they are $214.00 which isn't bad but when you only have $710.00 a month to work with that is a lot.  This house is suppose to be mine, but my mom and my stepdad decided to get a loan against it (this is after my mother transferred it to my aunt so my stepdad couldn't use it over my head and I would never be in jeopardy of loosing it) I have always paid the property taxes on the house, but since they got the loan they had to carry insurance on it so that it gets paid for, well they want me to pay that as well.  I couldn't afford the rent (there mortgage) so I get section 8 housing which is called HUD they pay $300 and I am suppose to pay $100, which they told me I didn't have to because it was there loan and the HUD was suppose to help my parents out.  Now they are trying to make me feel guilty but I don't because the agreement was they would never get a loan against it.  They lied to me for over 21 years now I am trying to get a loan to buy it and it would be mine and no one can tell me what to do.

So you want to get a loan to pay off their loan and get it in your name?  And I am curious as to where you live to have taxes that cheap.  I have less than an acre and my taxes are almost $1000.
