Overwhelming property taxes and how That's actually bankrupting America and One of the things that we're doing Differently in this video is Mitch Vexler and I are actually interviewing Two different families one family that's Going to talk about the impacts of the Fraud and Corruption as it pertains to Their primary residents the other family Is going to talk about how it's Impacting their business as they're a Business owner a mom and pop business Owner so before I go into that Mitch How's that Petition it's climbing we were up 110 From yesterday it's slow because it Takes time for the word to get out but Like I said I'm thankful for everybody That's signing because it is crucially Important when we go to show that to the Judges they have to understand There's Real people that are being severely Damaged as we're about to see in these Upcoming interviews yeah I mean I'm so Proud of you know the movement Mitch I Mean it's been mind-blowing I'm you know I'm humbled by it but you know I want to Start by just dropping some Bombshells Uh you know exactly what the title is Implying and I wanted to show you Mitch What you've taught me so you let me know What Bombshells I've missed but you've Taught me a lot my friend one of the Things that you've taught me is in your
Little tiny Appraisal District the fraud The cumulative fraud from the Make-belief values that they're creating For assessment on Taxes it's about it's almost 1.5 billion So when we look at the entire nation the Fraud could be in the trillions and Here's another bombshell fraud think About this guys fraud is what's holding Everything together in another bombshell At least 37% of homeowners are about to Go bankrupt another thing I'm starting To figure out Mitch is that the wealth Gap could be built and that fraud the Whole wage Gap and stuff could be built On the cads the Central Appraisal District so Mitch you know before we dig In to talk about these families if you Can man just update the viewers on where You're at with with the lawsuits update The viewers on what's going on with Property taxes how you know the counties Are committing fraud then we'll get some Reactions on these videos but brother go Ahead and clean up those bombshells but Before I you know you go too far down That rabbit hole how do I do with my Bombshells you're pretty much dead on Point so 1.34 billion is what dcad That's Denton Central Appraisal District Stole from the taxpayers this is cash Out of the taxpayers hands based on over 67 billion dollar of overvaluation so You have over taxation
Overvaluation they're jointly hooked at The hip then that money gets placed into The bond at the taxing entities I.E the School districts and as you're about to Find out from the previous video that we Did if you go back and look at that and The current video here in a few minutes You're going to discover how a lady by Name of Cary how her CAD in Fort Bend Stole money from tens of thousands of People simply by lying in the difference Of the square footage of the houses that They occupy versus in other words They're guessing at the square footage Versus the actual Square footage as is Shown in the MLS system they're two Completely different data sets and when You have two completely different data Sets that means that that CAD just like Denton Central Appraisal District it as A cad are in fact not using newspap the Databases are in fact corrupt and that Is how the theft the overvaluation and Over taxation is occurring one more Thing I I want to remind the viewers That did not catch the first Whistleblower video is we have on record Actual testimony that is acknowledging That the appraisal district in your County removed 60,000 comparables out of the system and Quote manipulated the data and put it Back into the system we got Some we got some cleaning up to do here
You know before again you know Mitch Before we begin do do you want to get Into any intimate details of law any Other Bombshells again before we go into Carrie you know the single mother who's Had get a second Job anything else you want to go into Right now yes and this is like an onion With a thousand layers and the more you Peel the more you want to cry I want Everybody to know it's extremely Difficult in a video a single video be a 30 minutes or 40 minutes to touch on Even 5% of the depth of this criminality We're doing the best we can we've got People now in Florida a group of Attorneys that have reached out to us to Pick up the ball and Florida and start Filing constitutional suits there so There's a lot of things that are on the Go as a result of these videos and the More you pump these videos into the Marketplace wherever that happens to be Be it X or Twitter or YouTube what Whatever you have even sending direct Emails to people is crucial with regard To the 60,000 properties that statement Under threat of perjury was made by Don Spencer the chief appraiser we took 60,000 properties outside of the Database manipulated them and put them Back they were manipulated in Excel Charles Stafford shortly thereafter the Board member of Denton Central Appraisal
District said to Don Spencer Mr Spencer You are the Masters you and your team Are the Masters at guessing well that's Pretty well the whole case right there Because they're not using usap they are Guessing their databases are corrupt Don Spencer by definition is a straightup Criminal why because he violated his own Oath the V says the oath says to protect And defend the Constitution of the United States of America and the state Of Texas violating that oath is a third Deegree felony the da should be Prosecuting and based on his own Testimony you can't have people Manipulating data where the hell is that Written inside a usap oh Mr Chief Appraiser you can go ahead and Manipulate the data inside that system That's perfectly fine with us it's Perfectly fine under usap that you Completely ignore the comps and ignore The database and per Mr Stafford's Statement guess none of that is allowed In law the whole purpose of usap the Entirety of the purpose of usat is to be Quantitative not to be Guessing so under the Texas Penal Code 3711 defaulting in the duties of a Public officer is impersonating a public Official which is a third deegree felony He violated his Oath Texas penal code 701 intentionally Failed to report criminal activity well
The board has been put on notice every Time you send out you everybody that's Out there sends out one of these videos And by the way I have notified dozens of Public officials I'm doing it on purpose I'm making them intentionally what is Known as a person of knowledge every Time a video goes out to one of your State representatives one of your Legislators you are in fact helping to Make them a person of knowledge and Where that goes is title 42 us code 1986 Knowledge of a wrongful act and power to Prevent you've got them on what we're Setting up are federal laws that have Been violated as well as state laws that Have been Violated the people that are choosing to Dig their head in the sand and not pay Any attention to this that are in fact On these boards or on the ARB panels or Members of the staff of any one of these Central Appraisal districts guess what You're co-conspirators in a criminal Conspiracy to defraud the public the Amount of evidence that we've got is Simply off the chart and that can be Seen at mockberg properties.com Decad we're hiding nothing over and Above hiding nothing we're literally Shoving it down the throat of all the People who are participating in this Fraud and choose to turn turn a blind Eye towards it next thing is I want to
Define what a sociopath is a sociopath Is a person who will lie straight to Your face even though those lies hurt Their own family their own friends and At the tail end of the day themselves That's the definition of a sociopath What I'm doing here is laying down a Gauntlet you people who are ignoring What it is you are doing when you know Full well that the laws are being broken When I have delivered to you documents One and a half inch binders that you Chose to throw in the garbage You by Definition are a Sociopath so what we have here is a Bunch a whole lot of people in the Public that are getting mad by the Second and people do things when you Make people desperate they do desperate Things I'm here to try and stop that in Fact Carrie was very much concerned over Her condition I reached out to her after She left the voicemail and the that Result is what you're about to see on a Video in a few minutes from now but the Bottom line is these people are Committing crimes and this has got to Stop before something really bad Happens yeah I mean the guessing and Manipulating is bankrupting Homeowners you know and your efforts are Appreciate you know even if we make even If you make a difference in one person's Life Mitch I mean gez you know the the
Heartbreak that's going on across the Nation over property taxes and fraud and How ented it is systemically is shocking So let's let's start with Carrie Carrie Just for the viewers Carrie uh like Mitch was saying reached out to Mitch Kind of just looking for to say thank You actually um I think to say thank you And to you know I think she needed to Talk to someone and need to explain like Hey there's a lot of people that are Going through this so we're going to Play that video you guys we're going to Play the whole thing after the video I'm Going to go ahead and get Mitch's Reaction and do me a favor when this is Done playing comment below and shoot Carrie some love Carrie Parker how are You today hey how are you thank you for Having me I'm good I'm good I'm really Happy that you came forward that you Reached out to us and I want to get into Kind of why you reached out to us but I Wanted explain to the viewers you know How much I appreciated your courage and You know I really think your story is so Important for them to hear because it's Happening To I got to figure over half of the People that are buying new houses They're getting blindsided by property Taxes they're having to get second jobs Um it's a bad deal Carrie so uh first of All can you tell us and and for the
Viewers uh you know can you tell us why You reached out to us why did you reach Out to Mitch and I absolutely Um you know I don't believe um anything That happens in God's world by mistake What I mean by that I work in the field And listen to different things all the Time but especially uh things that Relate to Everyday stuff that I deal With and go through but I wasn't even Looking for anything like what you do in The real estate mindset and it happened To come up on YouTube and I just started Listening and it just all I was just Taken aback by what was being said but It felt like there were certain Connections being made of questions on Things that I had been having to me that It was just divinely guided that I Listen to you guys that day so much so I Did everything I could to reach out and Talk about and understand better because I didn't Feel um early on when I first got my Home that there were certain things I Was aware of or understood better Yeah I mean in and so in other words It's and thank you for being honest I Wish that you watched all of my videos Carrie but um I mean it's fate I mean it Sounds a little bit like fate you guys I Mean she was stressed out she's a new Homeowner when did you purchase a home Purchased it in 2020 so she she's
Recently purchased home in 2020 she's Going through some and you're about to Find out some pretty horrible challenges With property taxes she saw the video of Mitch and I and then she de decided to Call because she you I don't mean to put Words in your mouth but you're you were Confused about the protest process is That correct oh absolutely no when you When you purchased that home and it was A new home it was brand new when you Purchased it did your realtor explain to You like filing the homestead fighting The protest value how much did your Realtor help you understand that process Or did anybody did not um the realtor You Know 2020 was a really time because when I bought the house or I made the Decision that this is what I was going To do um everything had pretty much Slowed down so that was May and when I First met the Builder I knew the Builder Was a good Builder very credible and um The realtor did not they did not explain The details of what it was that was Going to partake as far as from start to Finish never a mention of hey you might Want to look to see about you know Filing for a homestead let alone what to Expect as far as your you know um Property appraisal and that down the Road the best advice I got was from the Mortgage person who I am very grateful
For he said you know what even though Your house note is this he was like You're going to want to pay above that Especially into the first year or two Because there will be a leveling of Certain things you know taxwise you just Want to be prepared but even with that It didn't prepare me fully for what I Was going to then experience into the Next couple of years After and Carrie I've warned people About exactly what you're just saying a Basically a surprise Bill and and I want To get into that but first I wanted a Couple steps back for the viewers um now Carrie had to learn all this herself Essentially and so she was able to file The homestead that's step one file your Homestead so you have an you know is Depending on your county you have an Immediate tax break so that's helpful But where she got stuck was the Protesting of the value and that's Really the fraud that's going on here Now um what she's also saying is because It was a new build her loan officer told Her to put an extra $500 aside every single month the reason Her loan officer told her to do that is Because he's a good loan officer and Carrie imagine all of the new homeowners That their loan officer doesn't tell Them and they get the surprise Bill and So the loan officer told Carrie to put
Was it $500 aside right for your payment Now You know were you able to afford that Extra $500 I mean me explain to the Viewers why you had to get a second job And how the payment actually went up $800 not 500 And explain the down payment explain You're not a naive homeowner right you You thought you took the necessary steps Of due diligence up front so that you Wouldn't be in a situation to be living Paycheck to paycheck can you explain That yeah Um you know Um I want to get Emotional when I Shar this but my um my Mom died the day before you know covid Um March 19 20120 and um she was a sole Survivor of a plane wreck and my dad Perished in 97 he died but she survived Out of that when my mom passed it Allowed for me to have a sizable down Payment above of what you know to get an FHA loan or whatever you know Recommended and um and that again was Really great direction from my mortgage Guy that he said you're going to want to Put this much down in order for you to Be able to make it meaning you know um Making sure you know I paid off my car There were certain things I said in Place but even with that I I wound up still having to get a
Second job matter of fact I you know Started a business you know doing um pet Waste removal and I'm an educated woman Even with everything that I researched And did home buying is so stressful to Begin with but I had no idea the amount Of stress and strain that it was going To be even after what I had initially Put down and then like I said rolling Into the past year and a half having to Pick up a second job just because I Couldn't stay ahead of you know the Property taxes and I know I'm not the Only one and I I said before I'll be Darned that I'm going to lose what I Have to pass on to my kids you know and What my mom and dad went through and Sacrificing and giving to me you know in My first home and so you Know but I thought that I really Understood and knew better and to be Honest with you I'm still learning and It's very frustrating all of it Yeah and I mean it's it's such a huge Transaction and but there's just so much Systemic Fraud it's I try to explain they're just So much stacked against homeowners That's why I can't charge them for for I've made a home buying course I can't Even charge for it I'm like there's too Many people in need Carrie and you know I think it's I think what you're saying It it takes a lot of Courage you're
Definitely not alone you know and I Understand I mean upfront you you try to Put money down from from your Inheritance to be able to afford it kind Of got a you know away from you you had To get a second job that takes time away From your child you're a single mother Um and as you've taken that second job It not only went up $500 it went up I Think you said an additional $300 so now Your payments eight and this is just Property tax or primarily property tax It's now $800 can you know can I ask you And I want to get around to what warning You can give to people but And any answer is okay right no one Knows your situation like you do of Course do you do you wish you would have Waited to purchase do do do you regret The process in any in any Way it's interesting you say that I Um I think when I did it was the best Time at that moment when I mean by that Is the interest rate thank God was low Enough but now I couldn't afford to be Able to get into a home especially it's Not even just the fact of you know the Interest rate what good is having a good Interest rate if your home's being over You know overvalued in in what the what The price actually is of what your home Really is you know the Overvaluation you know on the um Property appraiser side you
Know I feel like I can't win I got a Good interest rate but then when your Property you know appraisal comes in and They overvalue your home based on what You know you feel like you're still Behind the Eightball um I feel like at the time I Did my due diligence and thought you Know I was asking all the right Questions you know especially not having Gone through this before for um and the Long and the short of it is even though I have a good interest rate um Now it seems like it's counteracted that Because now you know as I said it's the You know overvaluation of my home and um And the property tax they're killing me And if they're killing me I know they're Hurting a lot of other people and uh That's the hard part of it you know now Would I buy a home no but then again Where you to move to you know rent's up Home you know home prices are up Property taxes you know are killing us And it's hard really hard yeah it is it It is hard it is hard I Mean you know it sounds like you you may Have got a little bit caught up in the Moment um you know maybe you have some But if you bought it in 2020 you Probably have some equity which is but Have you asked yourself what what would You do with the equity I mean I mean the Equity is actually costing you money
It's almost like just take the equity I Mean how how would you feel about losing That equity and would you consider Selling if you knew you because I've Listed my property in Harris County I Got no interest but that's that's in my Area I mean what are your thoughts on Selling and cashing In you know I thought about that because I do I do have Equity um But from what I see just in my Neighborhood alone houses are sitting You know but my house is favorable Considering its size and you know um the Quality of the Builder and whatnot but You Know I've been trying to listen and pay Attention to what I hear which is you Know try to sell if you're able to you Know and take that equity and and go on But again I don't know because I I you Know I can't plan to predict the future But everything I'm watching you know I I Feel stuck to be honest with you I feel Stuck it's like if I sell my property And take what Equity I do have in it you Know then where do I go and two will There ever be a time I don't think we're Ever going to see you know at least in My lifetime the interest rates be as low As they were back in 2020 um you know I I don't know and then Where would I move move too you know for The fact that uh you know to get a
Two-bedroom apartment for the size place I have I'm paying about equal you know In my mortgage right now you know with More incentive but the downside of that Is the stupid property appraisal you Know how is that going to look you know A couple years down the line and I think That uh I think that's why more and more People are put in the position they are And selling their home because they Can't they can't afford it and it's Heartbreaking because it's like I'm Working two jobs just to stay afloat Just to be able to Maintain what I have and want to keep um For myself and for my family and am I Going to be able to you know I'm scared To death to see what 20 25's you know Tax appraisal is going to be and it's Like do I make that move now or do I Wait I don't Know Carrie would you be able to afford Your mortgage without the second Job No I would you know I would be on the Ver it would be very tough I could but It would be very tough Very okay um you and I asked that Because I don't Think that the lenders are doing a a Proper way qualifying borrowers to Afford a house especially when it comes To new homes I mean because you see like Your payment went up $800 in four years
They're not taking that into Consideration when they're underwriting Your file I mean no you know thank God Again your loan officer told you but You're still your loan officer failed to Tell you how to do your homestead I'm Assuming or at least they failed to do The to the protest um I mean I could Tell you Carrie it's sad it's Sad but you're not alone and I will say Probably again if we have deflation in The house market and if we continue to Protest it will eventually go down right So so obviously don't give up and I know We've been talking for for 14 minutes I Only wanted to keep it five to seven but I mean you're just so powerful what You're going through I think people need To understand that they should not Rush uh purchasing a house that things Change that that nothing's forever can You end uh carry on what warning can you Give back to that firsttime home buyer That is that is naive like you know you You're educated you you understood to do Certain things you've got your Inspections you did those things right But but you have to understand Carrie There are people that are way less Prepared than you there are people that Have not even filed their Homestead Carrie they don't even know what that is What warning you know can you give to
Them man from experience Um one I always say prayerfully consider Everything make sure that you are in a Position especially in today's market With everything that's uh you know going Out going on um you know in the housing Market do your research make sure Especially if you're looking for a Builder do your research if it's new Construction do your research on your Builder um you Know talk to other people other you know Get experience or gain Insight from Others who maybe have used that Particular Builder and uh you know know Find out you know information on that Particular Builder um make sure that you Have it you know if you're using a a a Real estate agent make sure that you Have somebody who is truly vetted Somebody who is truly working and Looking out for you you know and right Now with the times we're in everybody's Going to be scrambling you know and the Real estate market from what I see you Know um it's feast or famine kind of Even for the Realtors is what it looks Like I don't know cuz that's not my Niche but you know make sure you find Somebody reputable who's going to be Honest you know and working for you not Just um in your realtor but who they use As far as their mortgage company you Know to me interview take three people
Talk to them and ask them questions and Have things laid out um and then make Your best decision what I see has hurt Most people is That especially if they've moved from Out of state that they move here sight Unseen maybe they came in the early Stages of when their home was being Built you know just to put in all the Pretty stuff right but beyond the pretty Stuff it's like did you you know for me I did I hired somebody during Construction to do my home inspection um And then post construction to make sure During that post construction walkth Through that if there is anything Because they will rush you through you Know doing that inspection um in the end Especially but even with the one-ear Warranty you know I wanted to have Something that would stand to where I Had that punch list done so I could make Sure that the Builder took care of every Single issue from outside to inside what Was under the roof you know um all of That and make sure that they covered Everything within that one-year warranty Um that's a big deal and then lastly is Um you know just make sure you can Afford it have more than just what they Recommend as far as your down payment Have more than that Because that I think is what has thrown A lot of people you know into the the
Problems and the issues they're having I Know not everybody was in the same Situation that I was and I honestly if It would have been for my mom's passing And to be able to put Down what I did in a um initial down Payment for my home I wouldn't have been Able to afford to do it not off of what They were saying you know those programs That are out there when they say oh you Only need you know five whatever five 10,000 no you need more than that in Order to be able to offset you know your Cost of living and not um to balance out That debt ratio deal so yeah just be Prepared Well said Carrie I really appreciate Your time hopefully uh we'll get some Undercover uh videos made of the quality Of construction I know you're an Inspector so you know we'll we'll talk About more of The Upfront due diligence But again thank you for your time I'm Going to head back to Mitch and we'll be In touch all right all right thank you So much Travis God bless what you guys Are doing keep fighting pretty powerful Uh statements from Carrie you know can I Ask you what is the biggest thing you Took away from that Interview that there are tens of Thousands of carries the amount of video Or the amount of emails that we're Getting um I did reach out to Carrie
Because I heard distress in her voice When she left the Voicemail um it was important that Somebody reach out to her and talk with Her and just help her understand then I Asked her to do me a favor I just said Put it in writing send it to me by an Email and send me your comps send me What the cad had given you the the Actual grid so she did that she sent the Grid and then you and I two people who Know exactly what they're doing and Exactly what to look for literally spent An hour digging into that grid and what That grid shows is that comps number Three four five and six are in fact not Comps they're fraud straight up so it Doesn't sound like a lot but one was up 70 feet the other was up 110 feet these Are houses that were used on her grid Versus the actual size of the square Footage and that was determined by Looking at the multiple listing system Versus what the cad had put in there in Other words the cads numbers had Artificially inflated the housing square Footage of the comps that they were Claiming were comps straight up fraud Irrefutable so although it doesn't sound Like a lot in terms of square footage When you extrapolate that out to the Households in that county that ends up Being about $7 million of additional Fraud raised on that one issue alone
Here's the problem how is Mom and Pop Who knows nothing about how a grid is Put together how are they supposed to Know that the fraud on the numbers is The fraud in the Numbers it's it's Insanity what's going On here and there is no defense there is No CAD they can't their CAD can't defend That our my cad Denton Central Appraisal District cannot defend taking a property From 750,000 to 2.8 million there's no Defense all they're simply saying is Well this is what we were taught Well let me put that to bed right now if You were taught to commit murder does That mean murder is legal of course not That's the first thing second thing is Ignorance of the law isn't an excuse the Third thing is when somebody is telling You like all these people that are out Here now writing in to you the cads and That are going to be forced to file suit Against you individually you ARB members You Rpas you Chief appraisers you deserve to Be sued Jo joint and severly liable when This occurs then you will start paying Attention and stop the nonsense however I want to take it one step further the Truth of the matter is this cannot be Fixed the only solution is to eliminate The property taxes end of story there is No database that we have seen inside the State of Texas that is accurate just the
Opposite they're full of fraud you Cannot put this Genie back in the Bottle all these politicians got Together over the years and kept trying To manipulate the public well this is What we're doing for you the public We're adding three more people onto a Six person board that's complete Nonsense three people can't outvote six People all they were doing is plating The public what you have here is a Criminal conspiracy to defraud it is Time for people to start filing lawsuits Against these individuals joint and Severly liable sue the state under the Constitutional challenges and break the System because people are going to lose Their livelihoods they are going to lose Their houses they are going to lose Their pensions this math it's over Everything's over but the shooting as my Father used to say and what we're trying To do is stop the shooting before it Gets out of the shoot literally well Some people have already been shot Unfortunately Mitch and and I guess in In many cases all we can do is prevent Future people you Know yeah I want to go one step further Do you know that Denton Central Appraisal District literally installed Under Hope McClure bulletproof glass if You weren't doing anything wrong what The hell are you doing with the
Bulletproof Glass well I mean the the biggest thing I took away from Carrie is How first of all her courage and I Really admire it and she prayed she Prayed before I I started the recording She prayed but you know Mitch you know You're talking about a single mother who Really wanted to protect her child so She did what she thought at the time was All of this upfront due diligence right She put extra down payment from the Inheritance of of that tragedy so she Did all of this planning because she Never wanted to get you know paycheck to Paycheck she didn't want to take a Second job and she was still Blindsided she still had to get a second Job M she's still living paycheck to Paycheck she's not spending as much time With her daughter and That's sad and you know again Mitch the Thing is is like she purchased the crazy Thing dude the last thing she purchased In 2020 brother that was when rates were Way lower and prices were way lower and And she's still struggling so what does That tell us about a homeowner that Purchases today she did everything right She's 100% in the right the cad has Committed fraud I get a little lamped up On this because I've spoken with her Prior to you and I handling her her Account and she's one of tens of
Thousands and the reality is she's been When when a board an ARB member Literally sits down and tells somebody I'm sorry go get a second job to pay Your Taxes the reality is that ARB member can Go to hell you want to cause a fight Let's go and that's why we're filing These lawsuits for those members out There who actually have money and can Help go to your attorneys I want Everybody understand we've done the Heavy lifting everything that's on that Website is the heavy lifting if you want To speak to an appell at attorney I will Put you in contact with my attorney and We will explain to you how to file these Lawsuits not just at the state level but At the federal level we will explain to You how to file these lawsuits and press Criminal charges against these People the ARB is out of line when Somebody says go get a job you have to Understand that that is the abject Definition of Rico if you create a debt Under Rico and tell somebody pay me that Debt or I'm going to shoot you that's Rico or I'm going to bankrupt you that's Rico it's not that the laws aren't being Broken it's ad adamantly clear that the Laws are being broken here what's not Being done is the Das Prosecuting and what we need out of These videos get it in the hands of your

Are being overt taxed I don't have to Help them but I've chosen to I go to Cadboard meetings and fight for them and I just see that what they're being taxed And they they just can't afford the the Amount of tax they're giving and so I go To meetings and speak in behalf of it And I am doing everything I can to go From City to city and trying to get Their attention that we are being over Taxed in Johnson County and Fernando can you tell the Viewers uh you know what kind of Businesses do you have and and what Happened well I'm I'm actually in the Flooring business and the countertop Business I'm also in the Wester business And uh I've been invested into this Community you know buying properties you Know renovate them picks them up and you Know pretty much investing in our Community that is affecting us the Property taxes it definitely is Affecting us the property taxes you know I give you an instance one of my Properties you know they had it a price An empty lot it was an empty lot they Had a price for for S about 71 to 72,000 and and that was the previous Year then this year they went up to $246,000 and then lot that someone Illegally dump in my property so if that Tells you something and what's funny About this
Here is that after I started complaining All these here we just check on the Records and they brought it the price Back down I would like to know how that Happens well I you know I would also Like to know how that happens Fernando I Think that's what we're trying to figure Out I think Peter would agree uh and Mitch you know I don't think there's Math man I think that when we it's a It's an illusion of legitimacy the a Process but I I wanted to rewind a Little bit because it's it's blowing my Mind I don't know how this is legal you Know and I don't know how a business Owner can adapt you know you're saying And Peter said as well y'all had a Property Peter said y'all had a property Got appraised one year for 835 and then the next year 1.9 million I Don't understand how you could justify That unless it's new construction going From land to a dwelling And then what you're saying Fernando is Your business was you know assessed at 72,000 and has now been in one year Assessed for 246 my question Fernando that that type of value Increase what are they telling you how Are they explaining they came up with The value and then what does that do to Your Business well it does it do affect it do
Affects the business in the way that now We got to cut back on inventory because Either I'm going to pay my taxes or I'm Going to by inventory I'm going to hire An employee for instance you know I Protested my taxes last year and and it Took him over a year to come back to me Okay and and during that time my banker Told me that I was not in compliance With the bank because I have not paid Off my taxes I told my banker I cannot Pay my taxes because I'm comp I'm Protesting them I can only pay best on Last year so um so he took these guys Over a year to to get back to me then After we settled then then send an Invoice uh then he when was it um like It was on June uh it was June 28th when I arrived at my house and he had to pay J it had to be paid by July 1 so how Much time frame you had to pay now I I Was paying over over a thousand doll on On on late fees you see this is kind Of how much how much did you have to pay What was the surprise Bill how much how Much was that um how much did they the Bank want you to pay They want originally they wanted me to Pay about $112,000 $112,000 yeah because it's what the what The Press District wanted and then we End up paying 9,000 we settled we Settled but remember then they penalized
Me for sending the payment late you know Because I received that on a Friday but The Monday or or you know you have a Very short time frame to pay off that Bill then then for that and you made a Comment you said you have to decide Whether or not to pay taxes or get Inventory correct that's pretty you know That's that's a pretty scary thing you Know to think about how long H have you Been in business for increased your Business from 75 you know uh I've been In business since 2008 you know U and Multiple business you know my deal is I Want to help this community and I have Big plans for the city of Cleveland by The way to to even open up the Restaurant to do multiple things in CL Actually I have three stores in clevand Right now and um and I was going to do a Restaurant but with the way these guys Have uh have raised my taxes makes it Makes it very very hard for us and the Economy is not in the greatest shape Don't get me wrong but my question is if We don't say something what about the One the person that is setting a home Looking at this big Bill on how they Gonna pay off their house taxes because They're about to foreclose you know on The street that's why I want people to Know Fernando the thing is brother you Know I you know I would be worried about You you know this Pro because this
Problem is happening all over the place And what we really need to do is is Exactly what you're doing and I want to Talk to Peter some more about what Actions you guys are taking but my gosh Man I mean $1,000 bill you have four Businesses we're just talking about one Business I don't understand how Mom and Pops can even stay into business with That level Of sky like double even tripling of Assessment value and again Fernando did They give you the math did they say Fernando this is how we're doing it it Aderes to the code do they do anything Like that in reality not they because When I when I went and talked to them They oh you know we do it based on the On the on the value of the properties You know what property they're selling Right next to you well I show I show an Instance I show one what I how much I Had paid for this property which was About 175,000 but then they bump it out Way wi5 to or you know I think it was Over 500 500,000 I do some remodeling Don't get me wrong so I have to hire Someone to protest these taxes and and And you know I feel like the the system Is it's out of place because you have to Pay someone to protect your taxes almost Every year and then whatever you save You have to pay to this person that you Hard and and I tell you this because
People needs to know this in Johnson County by the way you know I tell you um The governor of Texas I'm going to go Back to this here he makes I I just Googled it and it shows that he makes About $153,000 a year so the the the Sheriff in our County you know he makes Way less than that which is they put the Life on the line we tremendously Appreciate what they do for us by the Way but I just find out that the chief Of oppra of joneson County makes over Two I mean somewhere around $250,000 and does not live in our County By the way you know I think there is a Problem there I see as a problem how can You represent your your county and if You don't live in if you don't even live In your county your taxes will be so High that you don't even live in our County you have to leave somewhere else Fernando I mean I'll say man I mean the Taxes are that high because of the fraud If it wasn't for the fraud then you Could afford to pay the next town over Sheriff but it's just like there's so Many different layers of systemic fraud It's unbelievable and I wanted to ask You Peter you know and I know because I Want the viewers to understand a little Bit more of your involvement I if I'm Not mistaken and I know this is the First time we're talking I mean Literally we had a small window to talk
We're throwing this together Mitch was Like you got to talk to Peter have you Teamed up with Mitch are you guys how Are you spear hitting this are are you Opening a Lawsuit what's your intention Peter how Are you gonna move forward to stop this Are you even capable what's going on Man okay I sued the cadboard two years Ago and one because i' built some new Properties for about 235 and the first Year they taxed me at 360 and then moved It up to 400,000 well I won that lawsuit And it's it's sad that you have to sue Them to get results so I put together About eight more landlords and people That have been over taxed and we're Getting ready to file a suit with Mitch's help through an attorney that he Has that understands what we're going Through now other means that I've done I Attended the cadboard meeting that was Open to the public and fortunately a lot Of the old jcad members have been bumped Off and we've got new voted ones in that Understand our problem okay and so I Appeared before them and I pointed out Chapter 23 of the Texas property code And went to 231b and I showed them with a chart Where they were taxation wasn't equal And I showed them also that the Valuations were way out of sorts and I Also talked about cap rates and that
You're able to show a cap rate well when I submitted a cap rate this year all of A sudden they took the 100% of my most Important deduction my maintenance air Conditioners heat pumps whatever it is Or water heaters and on and on you know And they cut it and only gave me 15% you know Know Peter I think you're being a little Humble and Fernando maybe you're encouraging him Maybe you should encourage him not to Because the reality is the reality is is And I don't think you're just I don't I Don't think I don't think you're Explaining the gravity of this situation And and correct me Peter if I'm wrong Here this is my understanding of the Situation Fernando correct me if I'm Wrong Fernando on his own without your Help pays an over overwhelming amount of Money every single year to fight the cat On the over assessment of his businesses Is that right so far correct okay and What Peter has done is said enough is Enough he's helped spearhead this for You incurred if I'm not mistaken Incurred a lot of the Expenses Himself all because you're a great Person is that correct so far Peter yes He is a great person uh he does does a Lot of good in our community at Christmas time he instead of being with
His family he feeds over a thousand People that do not have a place to go For Christmas lunch and I think that's Very commendable and I'm I try to know What's going on in our community I sit On several boards but you know what I Know who helps people and not I want to Reiterate one thing when I went to the Last cadboard meeting I called out and I Called for Jim husi to be fired which Meant all of the new people were cable Because I outlined everything that he Was doing wrong and committing a crime Against our community and the taxpayers And it's just wrong and it upsets me and He just needs to be removed but I'm Going this Thursday and I've written a Letter to the head of the cad jcad board Again outlining what he's done wrong and Asking to fire Him you know Peter you know and I want To ask you as well Fernando in a minute Peter I can really respect and and Admire and appreciate the pride of Community that you have the sense of Community that you have it's um man I Miss it I miss it I feel like the last Four years we've lost a lot of it what You you have to acknowledge not not Everyone has a Peter in their Corner Having a Peter in their corner is Helpful so what can your community Do and and whether maybe elected for Office local office but what can your
Community do to change This well one of the things Travis That's happened is the city of Joshua Which is like six miles out of Cleveland Their mayor and city council voted a no Confidence against Jim hesit godley's Getting ready to do it cl's getting Ready to do it Keane is considering it And gr view so with all these votes of No confidence I've also gone and talked To our County Judge who's a wonderful Man And his uh Commissioners about the same Issues and if we get enough people to Say no confidence plus showing where He's breaking the law which he is Definitely is doing two instance this Week he went and told a school teacher Who's working hard that came in and Couldn't pay her taxes her husband works And instead of having sympathy with her They said go get another job well I Don't know if that's a RICO or what it Is but that's not right let me give you One more instance a humble man who's a Retired police officer I was talking About he went in and he charges a fair Rent of 750 they told him an antitrust They broke and said you raise your rent To 975 that really ticks me off Travis yeah You know they're trying to run our world You know Mitch to bring people together has
Created a petition do you have anything Like that that I can link on this video Peter that not yet but we have a Wonderful gentleman named Craig Hundley Who has been fighting to get all of These boards changed with better people And he's done a wonderful job our state Representative Helen Kerwin is on our Side she comes to our meetings and she's Gonna fight for this change because if It doesn't change it will destroy every City every state in the Texas it'll Destroy the people the Businesses the It just can't Sur hold up to this Taxation Mitch I mean Travis you know Fernando you know we've been talking About 20 minutes I want to wrap us up Here um Fernando you know you've been a Business business owner for sounds like Over 14 years uh the community is Important to you you're fighting every Single year uh for your taxes which Could potentially I mean if if your how Businesses were assessed too high it Could put you out of business um that is Correct you know what what can you tell You know Mom and Pop business owners About your situation that maybe you you Know would give them a leg up like what Have you learned from all of this what I Have learned as if you remain silent First of all they're gonna continue
Doing it increasing your property taxes And then you're not going to be part of The solution you're going to be part of The problem if by remaining silent I'll Tell you this because because what I Encourage people to do is they need to Show up to those cboard meetings they Need to show up and let them know how Unhappy they are with the excessive Amount of property taxes because when You're gonna search properties you're G To find out that one of the properties Is 50% less than the neighbors or or Across the street there's a lot of Discrepancies a lot of discrepancies is Because of those Discrepancies people like me end up Paying more so I encourage people to Show up to those meetings let them know What's going on because I'd rather be The guy who speaks up and and hopefully We can get whoever is doing the job Wrong getting fir instead of seeing my Neighbor losing their house because they Cannot afford their Taxes you know a family on the street Because because the guy who's collecting Our tax is not doing the job right I'd Rather see him going than see my Neighbor going with his family on the Street hey Travis let me give you a Quote Okay for evil to Triumph it only takes Good men to do
Nothing and that's not what we're here We're here to do something and I'm tired Of it let me just give you one more Example before we go on that evaluation I have a chart I'll I'll I'll text it to You but this chart shows that I've got a Gentleman in town has 26 rental units 28,000 square feet and they're taxing Him at two $74 a square foot now there's another Property in town with 100,000 square Feet and 120 units and they are valued At the same but they're only paying $40 A square foot so say 274 or 40 nothing Even about that is there well I'll say This uh Peter welcome to the fight and welcome To the movement sign the petition Gentlemen we will thank you for your Time thank you Travis we appreciate what You're doing Mitch before I get your Thoughts on there let me say this one Thing you know that that interview for Me was incredibly powerful uh and again All of this was done today this entire Video was done today we we you know Tracked all these people down we put it Together big shout out to you thank you Mitch for your energy but man I got to Tell you the biggest impact that made on Me two things number one I don't Understand how someone that's been in Business for 14 years can potentially Have the legs cut out from underneath
Them every single year every single You're could could be completely Bankrupt and the other thing probably The more powerful thing the good thing I Got to tell you man Peter you know he gave me a lot of faith In that there's still people out there That believe in the community and Helping it when they see an opportunity To help I really like Peter man what did You what did you get from that interview What did what was the biggest takeaway I think Peter Represents a Source of money to help the people that Are around him and on a more National Basis just like we're doing these videos To help people and inform them if there Are other people out there who are Fortunate enough and you know that these Problems are occurring go to your Attorneys have your attorneys call and We'll set you up if you in fact you want To file suit on a constitutional basis And you want to file suit on a value Basis and you want to press criminal Charges we have the evidence we've done The heavy lifting for you and Peter is Taking up what we've laid out and moving That situation forward with regard to The income calculation worksheets that Peter was talking about and in fact what Fernando is referring to there's only so Much money that can be had out of a
Property um speaking using my own file One property was 7 50 Grand as Established and settled by Denton Central Appraisal District the following Year they took that value up to 2.8 Million that particular property could Not possibly ever generate the money Necessary to pay on a tax value at 2.8 Million it just simply can't be done the Math isn't there therefore I would have To write a check for the privilege of Owning a property in the state of Texas And that clearly is not going to to Happen well Peter didn't articulate it The same way but the result is the exact Same thing and the exact same thing for Fernando the money cannot be generated From these companies to pay those taxes And in essence what you're hearing just Like in the carry case well figure out How you're going to get the money to pay Your taxes the damn taxes are a fraud to Begin with now either the law Exists to protect United States citizens And because everybody that's touching Usath either that law exists or it Doesn't if it doesn't exist have the Balls to say so and we'll take we'll Take the necessary steps from that point Forward that necessary step is if the Law doesn't exist why in the world are We paying real estate taxes we have the Absolute right under the fifth and 14th Amendment to the US Constitution to do
Process please explain to me out of Everything you've heard from Carrie and All these videos we put together with All the w es what exactly do processes Occurring I'd love to know because I Sure don't see it yep yep and what math Is being used I mean again like you just Said we it took us an hour to go through Anyways I won't even go there you know What I'm just GNA end here Mitch you Know this is probably gonna be an Hourong video you know first of all I Want both of Mitch and I big thank you To Carrie Fernando Peter thank you for Joining the cause uh Mitch really Appreciate you man you've spear hitted This entire thing you've created a a Movement I'm trying to keep up with you You know and for the viewers you know Join the movement if you want to stop The corruption and fraud just you know Put a little bit of effort take the 10 Seconds in the description hit the link Sign the petition and also guys reach Out like you said reach out to Mish if You want to file suit and if you have Any intel reach out to us we definitely Appreciate you guys and share the video Like it put it into the hands of your Politicians and uh you know Mitch you Know I'm going to get to editing this And after that it's back to work I'm Sure sir Mitch I thank you for your time Brother thank you thank you now you guys
