Around here there is no such thing as a cheaper place, we've been on the short list for 18 months as having the steepest rent increases in the country. 15 percent between Aug '14 and Aug '15.

You had NO money? Didn't you apply for some sort of government aid?

In "most" states? I'd be curious to see your proof of that, please.

In any case, you're comparing apples and oranges - owner-occupied versus a BUSINESS.

There is a homestead exemption, but it's reserved for individuals
65 and older or residents who are permanently disabled. And it's not half the property tax - it's a $20,000 exemption against the total assessed value of their property. The average home price for WV is about $110,000.

Now You are Confused. Not talking about 65 older. Talking Home Owner/occupied vs Renting out the home & Not living in it. YES WV say you pay DOUBLE on your taxes if you rent the home out. Not in my neck of WV Adv home cost $200,000 & up!

My son has ben disables for over 10 years has no income. He applied for SSD they kept turning him down when it hit the 7 year mark they told him he had no work history...just like that they wiped all his work history off the records! So he applied for SSI .. Now they say hes too Young... has to be 45 years old...
Judge put it on his record that he cant even apply again till his 45th Birthday!

So what gov aid are you talking about? You think you get SSD just because the Drs tell you you cant work & you have Proof... Not in todays world.

Fine. Show me the proof of that.

There are lots of "necks of the woods"in WV, so your personal examples are pointless. And I know a bit about WV, since my family is from there.
