When someone has lived in a home for many years, their property taxes are often artificially low because of long-standing exemptions and assessment caps (like Florida's Save Our Homes).If you close in January of the following year, here's what happens:What you get at closingProperty taxes are paid in arrearsAt a January closing, the tax proration is based on the prior year's tax billThat bill still reflects:The long-term owner's capped assessmentTheir homestead exemptionAs the buyer, you effectively benefit from those lower taxes for that entire yearWhy the increase doesn't hit right awayThe county does not immediately reassess at closingThe new assessed value is set as of January 1 of the year after the saleThe higher tax bill is issued the following yearTimeline exampleJanuary 2026 – You close on the homeAll of 2026 – Taxes are based on the prior owner's low, capped valueNovember 2026 – You receive the first tax bill, still using the old assessmentJanuary 2027 – Reassessment takes effect at the higher valueNovember 2027 – You receive the higher tax billKey takeawayYou enjoy the lower taxes for the full year after closingThe adjustment does not occur until the second yearThis is why January closings after a long-term owner can look very attractive up front—but the increase is delayed, not eliminatedWhy this mattersMany buyers think the taxes shown at closing are permanent. In reality, they're just on a one-year lag due to how property tax assessments work.tune in and learn https://www.ddamortgage.com/blogdidier malagies nmls#212566dda mortgage nmls#324329 Support the show

A computer system created by Tyler Technologies failed to distribute property tax funds to local governments. Now, Cook County Treasurer Maria Pappas says she is using an emergency action to distribute 2.3-billion dollars in property tax funds via a bank-to-bank automated clearing house transaction to 500 Cook County governments to pay their bills. Pappas calls Tyler Technologies' errors "unacceptable".

What does it mean to “own” anything if a missed tax bill can cost you your home? We take a hard look at property taxes, why they function like rent to the state, and how tying schools and services to levies on a few erodes trust across an entire community. Then we sketch a clearer, fairer path: transparent consumption-based taxes that spread the cost of roads, classrooms, and public safety while protecting the sanctity of the home and giving everyone real skin in the game.From there, we turn to the heart: 1 Peter 3 calls husbands and wives to honor, humility, and a quiet strength that sustains families through stormy seasons. Matthew 5 pushes us toward integrity and mercy—letting yes be yes, rooting out lust at the source, offering the other cheek, and loving those who stand against us. Paired with Psalm 6's plea from the weary and Proverbs' warning against complacency, these readings remind us that courage and clarity begin inside the home and overflow into public life.We also honor Captain Thomas Bourne of the USS Varuna, who held his position under brutal fire and ramming—an example of steadiness that anchors our civic imagination. And we revisit Franklin D. Roosevelt's 1940 Christmas message, a call to voluntary progress and an “unquenchable spring of promise” that endures through fear and conflict. Threaded together, faith and policy point to a simple test: does our system respect neighbors equally, protect what families build, and invite willing, informed contribution?If this conversation resonates, subscribe, share the show with a friend, and leave a review to help others find it.

From land fraud to title certificates: Why 18% homeownership in Ghana isn't poverty - it's systemic chaos - and the brutal truth about testing land, strategic partnerships, and the neighbor verification strategy that protects your $5,000 investment from becoming a court battle nightmare. In this explosive episode of Konnected Minds, real estate veterans dismantle the dangerous solo land-buying fantasy keeping African investors trapped between ownership dreams and legal warfare realities. This isn't motivational property talk from social media influencers - it's a systematic breakdown of why you can do perfect searches, get clean documentation, and still sell the same plot to five different people within a month, why Rwanda has an app that shows every land detail while Ghana has court calendars packed with document-versus-document battles dating back to the 1960s, and why the smartest investors buy land where their neighbor already built successfully - because whoever took the risk first absorbed the legal chaos you're trying to avoid.. Critical revelations include: • Why Ghana has 18% homeownership while Nigeria has 42% - it's not population or poverty, it's purchasing power and systemic land chaos concentrated in Greater Accra • The neighbor verification strategy: buy land where someone you trust already built - they took the risk, you benefit from the same governing document • Why individual credibility matters more than searches - you can have perfect documentation and still get sold the same land five times by greedy sellers From understanding that Africa's system is built to work against you unless you know how to fight it, to recognizing that the mindset of settling people instead of protecting buyers is why Ghana's real estate remains chaotic, to accepting that owning your primary home is a security choice that guarantees your family won't live on the street even when you're broke - this episode proves that real estate in Ghana rewards strategic verification over rushed ownership. The person who buys land where a trusted neighbor already built, works with companies that test 100 acres before selling plots, or partners with property management firms that guarantee monthly income will own property faster and safer than the person who does independent searches, pays 100% upfront, and discovers five other buyers with the same "valid" documentation. For the diaspora investor, local entrepreneur, and first-time buyer seeking to own property in Ghana without becoming another land dispute casualty or vacant luxury apartment statistic, this conversation offers the unfiltered blueprint: align yourself with someone who knows how to fight the system and has the muscles to handle disputes. Buy land where your neighbor already built successfully - the same governing document protects you both. Work with developers and companies that test land, absorb legal risk, and offer guarantees. Consider property management companies that take rental risk and guarantee monthly income instead of managing 200 homes yourself. And remember - owning your primary residence is a lifestyle choice that saves you when everything crashes. Property tax won't force you out. You'll figure out food and utilities. But if you're renting when disaster strikes, you're fighting two battles - survival and homelessness. The question isn't whether Ghana's land system is chaotic. The question is whether you'll verify through trusted neighbors, professional companies, and strategic partnerships - or become another court calendar story with perfect documentation that five other people also claim to own.
