The other states that are really egregious are Illinois, has extremely high tax rates and extremely burst in. A lot of the New England states, such as New Jersey, We're also seeing a lot of work in Florida because of the pricing increases. The states where we don't see much work is Arizona because they have like a limited value in Oregon.

But mostly where we're doing most of our work would be, I would say, state of Washington, California. We're doing a few in Utah and Colorado and Texas are the big ones right now.

Or in some states like Massachusetts and New England, they have a set budget. So you might get the value lowered, but they just raise your rate to get the taxes that they wanted in the first place. So it... They will get their money. But yeah, Texas is, you need to be forecasting what increases, even though you bought it, unfortunately.

I mean, there are parts of Texas that, like office and whatnot, that have been hurt, that should be on decline. But Texas is ground zero for property tax, as well as the state of Illinois.

I am one of the luckiest men in the world. I have an amazing wife, amazing kids. Another thing that makes me lucky is I'm very passionate and love what I do. And if the assessor's office offers me a good offer option, I will take and sell a case with them. But if they make me go to court with them, I will do whatever it takes to win. And what that means is I will ask the tough questions.

I will be over-prepared. whatever it takes. Cause yes, I love to win, but more importantly, I hate to lose. And I, when I lose a case and it sometimes happened, but rarely my wife's like, why are you so upset? Did you lose a case? And I'll be upset for like a couple of days. And it's not because of what I did is it's because of the board or the decision that was done because I know I'm right.

Or at least I think I'm right. Maybe I'm too right. But at the end of the day, I think where that comes down to is one of my clients was talking to me on the phone this week and she goes, you know, what you do is very righteous, is very you're helping a lot of people out. And I and I and I always thought like, hey, I'm helping the wealthy get wealthier or whatnot.

But we do help a lot of, I would say, small business owners or small homeowners. And it really hit me. I was like, yeah, I guess I am making a difference in people's lives is when I can get them back that refund. I can get them back that money and lower their property taxes and that helps them dramatically.

I know in the past that I have saved properties where that refund helped them make the mortgage or got them out of foreclosure. Yeah. So that's what keeps me passionate about that is I know what we do matters. I know what I do matters. And so I need to make sure that what I'm doing, I have my a game. And, and part of that is just having the right attitude and passion for what I do.

I have a crazy story. So it was 2008. I was my background was in commercial. So basically, I was a loan loan originator. And that's where I learned how to evaluate commercial real estate, learn how to appraise properties. And I was right around the Lehman collapse and I knew it was going to be bad. And I said to a coworker of mine, I said, hey, I feel sorry for the teachers and sheriffs.
