“I didn’t realize that my monthly mortgage payments could go up since it’s all tied to escrow. I never considered that my property taxes would increase, period. In my mind, I was locked into a certain payment amount for the rest of my life. The joke’s on me — in my first year of homeownership, it went up $50 a month. I’m barely making it by as it is with my old payment.”

“The year after purchasing, my property taxes went up. Therefore my mortgage went up. This happened three years in a row.”
