IRS wouldn't care about property taxes as those are assessed at the state level. A one-time capital gains tax would make more sense. Also trying to make sense of where the house is located "Technically in Washington" makes me think somewhere in Pacific County on the coast, but "West of the Guild Hall" would put it in either Burien or Alki depending on if "Just south of the city proper" translates to Tukwila or to the dungeon springing out of the baseball stadium. If the property is in unincorporated King County, $120,000 annual tax rate means that it's a $13 million dollar home.
Yeah I'm fun at parties.
You actually more or less nailed my backend calculations. Which is all kinds of fun for a barista and a bank teller. I’ll make sure to make things a hair clearer about who is owed what later on (presently working on chapter 13), but neither of Our Heroes here know it that well. You are correct on all counts.
