No more Texas has the high tax rate talk?
Texas has high rates when compare the same priced properties. 2.5 times California. So high it skews values, same with maintenance costs. But from a macro statewide budget issue California collects a lot more tax per capita
For an individual, we care about state income tax + property tax + sale tax, which one is more favorable?
Doesn’t matter unless you chose to live in Texas. High property taxes and maintenance to me are a deal killer. I have developed property in Texas, sold and got out… the best way to get high IRR in Texas

In California, people are more interested in buying rentals than earning high income.
Taxation can affect people’s behavior.

Anyone second this line of thought?
The Texans I know are more interested in Strip clubs, bbq and country music.
