I have to pay taxes, and if you don't know the law very well, you can pay property taxes that will eat you alive. When I sold my last house, I collaborated with the property buying company. They helped me with everything, and the most important part is that they taught my partner and me a nice way to reduce the taxes. Everything was legal, don't worry, sometimes we pay enormous taxes because we don't know how to work with them correctly. I believe even 1k makes a huge difference in taxes, and I am extremely pissed that we don't learn these things in school or uni.
