Two months before I lost my job I got a new mortgage.
Forgot all about the fact that the property taxes are rolled into the mortgage so last week on the 20th I went to city hall and paid them. (I own 2 properties so I would have had to go anyway).
Didn’t realize until I got my mortgage bill what I had done.
No worries the bank can refund me if I present proof of payment of the tax or in May they’ll cut a check for the excess on Escrow.
That sounds like a no brainier but if I don’t have something by May that’s about the time when my unemployment will run out. It might be worthwhile to have that “banked” till then.
Something to think about.
