Andy Webb emphasizes the importance of understanding your property taxes, especially as rising valuations and tax rates in Texas can significantly impact investors’ cash flow. He notes that many property owners may be surprised by the recent “Notice of Appraised Value” showing steep increases. Fortunately, Andy explains that owners have the right to protest these valuations — a process he has personally and successfully used for over a decade. He encourages investors not only to file protests by the May 15th deadline but also to consider markets with lower taxes and insurance costs if the burden in Texas becomes too great. Understanding and managing property taxes is essential to maintaining profitability and long-term investment success.
