If the government has to bribe you with tax breaks, it probably isn't a good bet.
Anon likes stuff you can touch. Enclosed trailers, guns, ammo, tractors, and old cars seem to be great stores of value that just keep going up over time.
>If the government has to bribe you with tax breaks, it probably isn't a good bet.
>Like, Mortgage Interest Deductions?
Bingo.
Your grandparents borrowed a tiny fraction of what today's home buyers do. As a nation, we need to get back to that.
Look up the root words of "mort"+"gage", and you'll find it's a measure of death.
Anon has never benefitted from mortgage interest deductions, because bought tiny crappy house, fixed it up, bought little better house, fixed it up, bought a horrible shack hoping wifeanon would stay in old house, and she followed anyway to nag about stupid stuff like running water and open holes into attic.
>do the math
>on a 150k$ home:
>you get a loan and pay back about 300k$
Agreed. People are supposed to celebrate closing on their first house, but anon walked away in shame being indentured servant.
Only borrowed 1.5x annual salary, tho, and paid it off in five years.
About shit when looked at amortization schedule and saw $66 of first payment went to principal. Decided then and there to add enough to triple principal payment every month.
>I’ve made 10x moar in real estate than I made working for 25 years
Have you ever found that removing negatives (buyer impediments) is moar profitable than value added improvements?
Anon is currently testing that hypothesis just getting rid of all the shit that scares buyers away from a high end property.
>Where I live, I pay $500 per mo. in property tax on a modest 3 bedroom ranch house.
Pack TF up and move someplace with lower property taxes. Anon has houses in two states. One is taxed at roughly 2% of market value/yr, and the other at about 0.2% of market value.
>Silver makes a different noise in bag of coins…old vending guys could hear them when collecting from machines and would stop to find them
Silver has a distinctive ring, a distinctive color (compared to clad coins), and can easily be tested with inductive test machine along with specific density. It's pretty easy to fool one test, but when you put all of them together, it's not too hard to spot fakes.
>I want to move somewhere warm.
look for a property listing that spreads by meme sometime in the near future.
RE agents have nothing on kun memefags in the sales department.
When the big battles are over, maybe we should offer them our services.
>Currently 60 yrs. old, not getting any younger. Figure the longer we wait, the more difficult it will be because moving is a pain.
Anon is getting close to 60 and looking forward to building a nice barn to live in maybe with guest shack for wife who doesn't appreciate smell of hydraulic fluid in the living room.
Some people are just wired differently from others, I guess.
Anon likes this one, but needs bigger garage.
>Who can afford even an acre?
Depends where it is and what it is.
Anon is familiar with desert scrub land that goes for $1K/acre without irrigation, and $10K/acre with water. The catch is that you have to buy 40 acres to get a well permit.
>I grew up in a law enforcers house there was a loaded firearm in every room of the house.
>I don't own one, I trust God.
Trust firearms as a store of wealth. Their value will always hold steady as the dollar implodes.
In the meantime, you can use them to shoot cans and stuff.
>As soon as word got out that "someone" is coming after your legal guns, then undoubtedly the freedom loving Americans would step up to the plate and each neighborhood would become a fortress in defensive posture.
Anon isn't saying that neighborhoods should start plinking knees of gun grabbers with 22's.
That would be a terrible shame if gun grabbers were all laid up with busted knees and couldn't do their job to keep us safe.
That nose is yuge.
>Autists will always be digging and researching
Can't be helped.
>Can't be helped
That's the key. When it's time for autists to dig, they can't be stopped.
Anon is weak autist, but today decided to look for something neighbor has been searching for over a year. Took half an hour to find the "unfindable".
