This document discusses the trade-off between buying a home with higher property taxes versus a home with a higher purchase price in a lower tax district. It notes that property taxes will continue indefinitely even after a mortgage is paid off, while the purchase price of a home is fixed after 30 years. The document also compares buying a home to renting with an option to buy, noting that rent-to-own has limitations like more expensive monthly costs, limited inventory, and no guarantee of obtaining a mortgage to actually purchase the home.
