#147 - Assessing, Retroactive Tax Bills and When to Record Condo Docs

The guys trade war stories from the least glamorous corner of real estate. The assessor's office.

If you own property, are underwriting your next acquisition, or have never once pulled your own property card, this episode will probably pay for itself.
