Default Re: OUCH - property taxes

In the US you can deduct the interest you pay on your mortgage from your income before you pay your income taxes. So many people thing this is a great reason to own a home, but the measly sum you save on federal income taxes is easily eaten up by local Real Estate taxes.

Interesting thought, eh?
