    00:03

    talk about like the homestead you got a

    00:05

    property from last year it was

    00:07

    homesteaded but they didn't renew it

    00:09

    here we are in October and we're ready

    00:12

    to close that alone and we found out

    00:13

    there was no renewal and so there's no

    00:16

    homestead so the property taxes are much

    00:19

    bigger all of us are taken off guard I

    00:21

    think that we need to for the borrower's

    00:23

    say find out if their homestead is still

    00:26

    on the home or has it been removed

    00:29

    that's really big key because all sudden

    00:32

    now that tax bill is coming now not next

    00:34

    year and if it didn't have homestead

    00:36

    you know those taxes are much higher so

    00:39

    the people have to go ahead and pay til

    00:40

    next year of course they'll get their

    00:43

    credit once they have their homestead

    00:44

    there's a little bit of a shocker so I

    00:46

    think you need to look out for is the

    00:48

    home homestead it still or did they take

    00:51

    it off that's just a big key factor I've

    00:53

    mentioned it before in previous episodes

    00:55

    but it just keeps popping up and I think

    00:58

    it needs to be addressed so look for

    00:59

    that when you can i'm didier at didier
