I currently live in the M Streets in Dallas. I've been fortunate enough that my house has seen some really significant appreciation. The downside to that is that my property taxes are rising to a point where its just downright stupid. In the four years that I've owned the property Dallas County has raised the assessment by $300k. I'm homesteaded so the increase I pay every year is limited but I am just sick of it of cutting that check and its almost as much as the mortgage every month and will get worse each year until they catch it up to the assessed value.
I have a ranch out near Graham and we spend quite a bit of time out there. I've got the itch to cash out on my current house in Dallas and buy something out on the west side of Fort Worth where I can get more for my money and downsize the mortgage and property taxes and get me closer to the ranch. If I can square it away with my job I bet they would let me work out of our Fort Worth office which is in the West 7th/University area.
So my question is...if you were looking for an acre +, fairly new construction, great schools, within a half hour of West 7th/University area of Fort Worth, where it would be easy to hop on 20 West and head to Graham, where would you buy and why?
