I just look at the higher tax as paying a little for alot of equity to use if I ever need a kidney or something LOL haha
The taxes in HI are SO cheap (especially with the homeowners exemption) How can anyone complain? Doesn't anyone want the benefits of an increase in their net worth?
property taxes for comparable properties in some states were a few thousand more than I pay in HI. try paying that and living on a fixed income.It was a real crisis for older folks.
I am so happy our property values have increased I am now wondering if I should tap into my equity before values go down and I loss it.
I would not blame an investor for trying to get whatever he can its the ding dongs that pay the price you need to worry about.
