Real Estate …. Are the taxes for real? By Al Block, abr,gri,sres,qsc Taxes, like them or not, they are here to stay. As you begin your home search and browse various property listings, whether online, or as provided by your Realtor, it IS NOT safe to assume what is in print is always what the taxes will be for you when YOU buy it. Let’s discuss the various reasons. In the State of Michigan, and many other states, there are HOMESTEAD PROPERTY TAXES and NON-HOMESTEAD PROPERTY TAXES. Homes...(read more)

This may be a very "on the surface approach that merely touches the surface, but in principle, I think it would work well. Below is an opinion editorial I wrote in a Michigan tax online forum: Any one who is on the side that Michigan's property tax climate is good or "not bad" does not own a lot of property and is not a real estate professional. My name is Al Block. I am a RE/MAX agent in the Metro Detroit area. With out going into a lot of detail ... YET, "ad valorem"...(read more)

	Description


	24 HOUR INFORMATION HOTLINE: 1-800-290-9994 CODE: 232665 This property by far has more to offer than most homes I have sold before and acreage to boot. This is like getting the features of a Cadillac at the price of a Ford. That's why this property comes "fully loaded". There is so much to list that it is a must see to see it all. At the end of the driveway, which is most likely almost 300 feet long, sits a 32'x40' pole barn. It is insulated, has its own furnace, 220V and circuit panel, overhead lighting, 2 roll up doors (high) and 1 extra high sliding door off the back. The driveway is gravel until you are in front of the pole barn or the extra large 2 and 1/2 car attached garage. The cement approach in front of the pole barn may park 6 to 8 cars and in front of the garage around 4 to 6. The house boasts 3 bedrooms with a large 4th bedroom in the recently finished basement. The basement is just "drop-dead gorgeous" with large recreation room, newer Berber carpet, gas fireplace with vented forced heat to bedroom, two large storage areas(see virtual tour), 95% efficient furnace, central air, and high efficiency hot water heater. The home's floor plan is well planned with a "bedroom split design". Two bedrooms on one side of the home and a master suite on the other end with walk-in closet, vanity area, and master bathroom. Kitchen is to die for with 2 lazy susans, appliance garage, solid oak Merillat cabinetry, oak hardwood flooring, breakfast bar, loads of cabinets, a pantry, and porcelain sink all with a view of your two decks, above ground swimming pool, 3/4 acre pond, and the rest of your acreage. High quality wood casement windows, Andersen doorwall, extra large bow window, more than sufficient front porch, and much, much more. Tasteful decor, newer carpet througout. 7.62 pristine acres.

Are you responsible for the death of these two men? Their names are John and Horace Dodge. They are brothers. They have been deceased for quite some time, however, their spirit, an American institution lives on or does it? Last week their baby, Chrysler, announced it may be going on the auction block to slice and dice, what just a few years ago was a strong company. Are you responsible for this? Will you be responsible for the death of Detroit, Michigan? This topic goes very deep but besides our...(read more)
