TBT: Ask Marco - How Can I Better Manage My Property Taxes?

Click Here for the Show Notes  In today’s episode, Marco answers a listener question from Rose, a newer real estate investor navigating the frustrations of escrow shortages and surprise payment demands. After purchasing a three-unit property in Massachusetts, Rose wonders whether it’s worth managing property taxes on her own or sticking with lender-managed escrow accounts. Marco breaks down how escrow works, why lenders strongly prefer it, and how PITI payments simplify long-term property management. He also tackles the common concern of “interest-free money” sitting with the mortgage company, weighing the real opportunity cost against the value of time, simplicity, and scalability—especially as an investor grows from one property to many.
