Anyone who bought real estate recently could be in deep doo doo. My son bought a starter house in traditionally low price area. Paid double of what it sold for 10 year ago. I worry about him.
I think what most of us have now will be worth fortunes as the world's situation becomes more dire. As people FINALLY realize they need to get out of the cities, anyone with some land for gardening, fruit trees, firewood, well and septic, and good neighbors with guns, will be able to name their price. Throw in a fence, a dead end road, and over 5 miles off the hwy system and you will have the most sought after property. Of course, if you sell, where you going to go?
Property used to be great to own here but our taxes have gotten so high here you cant afford it anymore!!!!I've always thought that real estate was one of the best investments there is. Right now is a good time to own, but maybe not a good time to buy. Recently I heard about a place that was for sale just a few miles down the road from me. So I stopped and talked to the owner about it. The property was only 60 acres and he had just sold it for $650,000. Way too much for me.
Mostly when I'm talking about real-estate I'm referring to ranch land and/or timber lands where you can get an AG or timber exemption on your real estate taxes. Our ranch for example has a very high valuation, but our property taxes are way less than for a simple house in town.Property used to be great to own here but our taxes have gotten so high here you cant afford it anymore!!!!
Many area have passed laws to keep land taxes from bankrupting older landowners. Your taxes can only increase at a small rate, until you sell. Then they skyrocket for the new owners.
wish our area would do that, we have VERY corrupt polititions here!!!Many area have passed laws to keep land taxes from bankrupting older landowners. Your taxes can only increase at a small rate, until you sell. Then they skyrocket for the new owners.
I inherited a lot of old family land that has been in our family for ages that i am not going to be able to keep due to taxes,Mostly when I'm talking about real-estate I'm referring to ranch land and/or timber lands where you can get an AG or timber exemption on your real estate taxes.

I believe that any property should be large enough to provide some income and a way to be self sufficient.

Can you get a homestead exemption?I inherited a lot of old family land that has been in our family for ages that i am not going to be able to keep due to taxes,
Now what? are you going to be like that religious nut job who forecast the end of the world then kept changing the date?
Exactly. Or like the predictors of "climate change" who have been predicting doom for 100 years.
Oh yes , have looked at every possibility, have original homeplace up for sale now,Can you get a homestead exemption?
I’m sure you probably looked into that already though. That’s just ridiculous, I’m sorry- thieving government.
I think some just want everything to crash and it’s hopeful thinking.Well Oct 4 has come and gone, and its now 8th Nov when the second collapse was promised to happen. This BS fear mongering and prophesing does our community great harm and gets preppers tarred with the same brush as the religious fruitcakes promising the tribulation or what ever its called. Please guys give calculated and concerned advice from your personal opinion, but stop THE SKY IS FALLING on XXXX date it does our reputation no good.
