Property taxes have been one of the biggest investor concerns in Florida. They rose sharply over the past few years, headlines have been everywhere, and now there’s talk about eliminating them altogether.

But are they actually hurting rental property investors?

In this episode of the Not Your Average Investor Show, Gregg Cohen and Pablo Gonzalez break down what’s really happening with property taxes, and more importantly, where they actually fit in your investment decision.

You’ll learn:

- What really happened to property taxes since 2020—and why that spike isn’t the norm
- How rent growth, cash flow, and equity gains have offset rising taxes over time
- What typical property tax increases look like in a more stable market
- What to make of Florida’s proposed property tax changes—and what’s real vs speculation

Smart investing requires understanding what truly moves the outcome over time.
