Holy shit thats more than my car payment.
I'm going to go back into my "home ownership is stupid" corner now.
That does seem a bit high..but my taxes add about 130$/month to my mortgage, another 120 or so for homeowners insurance. Also - screw propane heat...unless you like the idea of 4 - 600$ fillups of the tank, every month in winter. Averages 150$/month for me on a budget plan. Electric is cheap as shit in WV though. Mine averages about 40$/month.
Also, you'll get most of those "taxes" back in the form of tax breaks at the end of the year. I paid 1500$ish in taxes for the year on the property, and my tax refund was over 5k...i'll take those numbers..though that will diminish as i pay more principle and less interest
