The property tax for 20 years would be = $204400
The total maintenance cost for 20 years would be = $100000
Therefore, the total expenses for 20 years would be:
$204400 + $100000 = $304400.
The net income for 20 years would be:
$304400 – 360000 = $55600.
Now let’s consider the change in the value of the house. after 20 years, the value of the house would increased by 3.4% annually. so after 20 years the value of sam’s house would be $1424733.
