I found it interesting that the writer would divulge information on how much Anna bought the house for, how much they sold the lot, how much they sold the house but he seemingly wanted his privacy and didn't divulge the purchase price of his own house.

Well if he's at 49 Warren rd, then it's 389k[1]. Pretty surprising they can afford that on a teacher salary and freelance writing, but what do I know of their finances.

  Just a few numbers: - At that sale price, a 3.25% FHA mortgage (3.5% down min) will be $375,385 or just a hair over $1,600 a month. - Property taxes are $500/mo give or take [0] - PMI will be about $360/mo [1] So you are looking at roughly $2,500/mo to live in that house. They also sold a condo so maybe they had $150k in the bank and have a lower mortgage and no PMI. But looking at these numbers they're certainly not living off a teacher's salary alone.

It's public information. I don't want to dox the author, but he gave the street address of his neighbor and showed which side of his neighbor's house he was on. I did a tiny bit of investigation with Google Street View, found his address, and then looked up the sale price of his house -- you can do it too if you care.

  Is it really doxing if he said his neighbors address and put up a picture of his house? Doesn't seem like he's exactly trying to hide which house he's in.

    Honestly, I don't know. I was about to put the full information up, and then I was like, "Well, does this cross a line?" I genuinely don't know, and am not trying to impugn anyone who decided differently from me.

      Yea it's hard to keep track. I know some communities remove any posted personal info even if it's readily available with a simple google search. Seems silly to me, but I guess it makes sense to have a zero tolerance policy with something like that.

  >> It's public information. You are correct. Most counties have real estate sites you can put in an address and get a satellite image of the lot, how much the last sale was for and who the current owner is and what type of classification the lot has.
