Again? Man they must have replaced every single part on it by now, it should be like totally rebuilt.

 

I'm at 15k and taxes are cheap where I live lol

 

I was going to say both you and road runner have cheap taxes. We have high city and federal taxes here, property taxes here where I live are high and keep getting higher, luckily I don't pay property taxes (yet) however the clock is soon to strike 12 on my not paying property taxes mother and father would like to see me gone eventually .

Yeah out here in the Mid-Atlantic and East Coast were blessed with the opportunity to pay high taxes, because for what ever reason our governments have a hard time handling money. Why the Parma City Schools lost several million dollars this year, where it went nobody knows it was just gone they looked for it under there desk or in a coffee can up down and all around and couldn't find that sever million dollars anywhere.

I to sometimes have problems like that now and then I just misplace $4 or $5 grand it happens it's all part of the fun.

 

My property taxes this year for my house three cars two utility trailers and my bass boat are under 1000 lol makes it nice living in the middle of nowhere.... but our school is so broke there only going 4 days a week it's saving our district 800k a year.

 

Criminey Dutch Man a little crap shack around here is $4K a year in property taxes right off the rip. Cleveland Heights, Ohio "On The East Side" they got some houses that are up to $18K a year in property taxes. East Side Suburbs of Cleveland Shaker, Cleveland Heights, Pepper Pike-Orange and Lyndhurst are all outrageous on the property taxes. Of course those are all the big old money suburbs.

I'm on the west side which is "new money" were like the book the Great Gatsby around here old money on one side new money on the other side.

 

Well it's winter time now. Technically fall, but gosh if it wasn't winter this weekend. Grey sky, and the whole sound of winter it was here, haven't seen it in a while, but it was here.

Weekend's over, that sure went fast. Thanksgiving is this week which makes for a screwed up week I guess this whole week is going to be a guessing game because people will be on vacation, routes will be cut the whole 9 yards.

Was out house shopping today, which is kind of pointless in a way because I can't buy anything anyhow, and stuff around here is at absolute peak as far as taxes and prices go and the stuff all needs work on top of that.

$139,000 for a 3 bedroom 1 bathroom little brick house, which while it wasn't a bad house it was a little to small.

Everything else was in the $200,000+ range and $3-$4k a year in taxes the housing around here is at absolute peak as far as price goes, like in my neighborhood an old man died and his house was donated to charity the charity then sold the house to some house flippers and the flippers tore down a tree and did some demolition work and quickly realized that there was no room for mark up and sold the house off.

Now some new people bought it have torn down half the garage have dugout some of the back yard to put in more foundation for more basement, and I don't know how they think they can get anymore for it when the stuffs at the top of it's price range.

2 years ago when my neighbors moved out of there house it was sold for $152,000 which was a deal, then it was flipped kind of, and sold for $200,000 something where it was then bought by flippers who thought they were going to flip it after someone already flipped it.

I'm sorry to say, but people have gotten plain stupid with this house flipping. A house can only be flipped if at all, TV makes it look like you can't lose flipping, but I don't think that's the case I think more people lose flipping then win. Then you have these lazy flippers who buy a flipped house do barely anything to it and try to flip it after it's been flipped and after realtor fee's and the rest of the garbage they make jack diddly. Anyhow that's my opinion on flipping and further more my opinion on house flipping not that anyone asked LOL!

 

Well? So what is your opinion on this, other than hating those flippin' house flippers?
Mike, you just can't go too far wrong to be looking BEFORE you are ready to buy. Even years before. It's likely to be one of the biggest investments you will ever make. Best to go into it with a good idea of both what you want, and what you think you can afford.
As for flipping houses, I've an ex brother-in-law up in Montana, that started out by building a state of the art, (at that time,) that was out in the country, off the grid. He, his wife and 3 kids lived in it for a couple of years, then sold it for several times what it cost him, (financially, not counting sweat equity,) then did it again, and again and again. Other than the hassle of building houses from scratch, while also running a going business, and moving every few years, it's been a true financial boon to them. He finally decided to unload his other business, and become a full time contractor!
