Re: property taxes and escrow
You have to call the company servicing your mortgage. Some do not allow you to do it and some may charge you a little for closing the escrow account. You may also need to contact your county, and home insurance company so that they bill you and not your mortgage company. You should be able to get at least 4-5% on it for the time it is sitting in your savings account. Do be sure to still set the money aside for it every month or however you were doing it before. If not you will have to come up with it all at once and they may (or may not) be difficult for you. Personally I set it aside everymonth.
Search for similar threads...I know this had been talked about before.
