Yes but you didn’t answer my question.

My question is .. is it a good idea to do it?

Is it easier to just pay the taxes ourselves and then not worry about another company paying them for us?

Daniel, You need to contact your lender to determine whether or not you can cancel your escrow account, as some lenders require it. You may need to prove you have the financial means to pay your taxes and homeowners insurance to be able to cancel your escrow.

Sorry to hear about your situation, and I hope they get on top of it for the coming year. Best of luck.

We bought our new construction townhouse in Oct of 2008 and today we are getting letters from the township and other people saying that our taxes have not bee paid.

Our mortgage transfered from Countrywide to Bank of America. Countrywide always had money to pay for the taxes and then when switched to Bank of america.. no taxes are being paid.. we had to call them and tell them to use our escrow to pay the taxes.. there are now all sorts of fee’s because Bank of America did not pay our taxes.. they said they would pay for the fee’s.. but now we have back taxes .. merry christmas to us.. we have to now pay an extra $200 a month to make up for their mistake.

Can we just cancel the escrow and pay the taxes ourselves? would it be easier to do that.. I’m sure we can setup automatic bill pay right?

Is it cheaper or better to do this?
We do have a savings account that collects interest.

Thanks for taking the time to read this

hi, I am 68 yrs. old. My son just paid me back the money that he owed me, and I need to put this money somewhere. I don`t want to tie it up in a portfolio. Is there something that I can do to make a little money , and still have access to it without going through paperwork to get it? I had thought about buying a condo with a couple people, and renting it out, but maybe there is something that I have not thought of, that some financial wizard can come up with. I need to make some decisions soon. I don`t mind investing it if can have ready access to it. Hope to get as many ideas and advice as possible. Thank you all in advance.
