Comment on Providence Tax Hike More of the Same Old Stuff by Shawn

I own a 1 bedroom condo in Providence that I previously occupied. I became an 'accidental' landlord when my job took me out of the area. I tried to sell, but was deeply underwater and didn't have the money to bring to a closing.
Instead, I rented the condo and it technically became an investment property. However, I am losing over $900/month after paying the mortgage and condo fee on this so-called investment property.
Apparently, the City of Providence believes this makes me a "rich fat-cat". Perhaps they should be aware of the number of accidental landlords who aren't making a dime on these properties.
What this tax increase will do is trigger an increase in short-sales and foreclosures. I have enough trouble covering the difference each month and this will further exacerbate the problem.
