Funny Story

[Husky25]

Swimming pool, hot tub, beach house, lake house, Manhattan apartment, pool table...

I'd rather own the pool too...and I do.

I will say that I will never put one in. At least an inground variety. A pool does not affect the value of a home, and it would take forever to recoup the investment. so my druthers is that the property already have one. There is a preconceived notion that they take hours and a fortune to maintain and, frankly, many realtors are lazy.

I have driven by that spot 1,000,000 times. LOL. You know where Geno lives, don't you?

My brother lived 3 houses away until a few months ago

It was great sharing a funny, laugh out loud story to get everyone in a good natured holiday mood. Now, Chief turns his focus to DePaul at 9pm and another edition of the popular game Briefs.

Why would they tax you differently? In NH there is no income tax. Property tax will be very high. Vermont property tax varies quite a bit by town, we paid just over $2k in Rochester, but a place like Stowe would be high. Highly recommend Brandon as an up and coming town in Vermont. Vermont has a graduated income tax. Maine income tax rates seem fairly high too. Don't know anything about property tax there.

The main tax cost of snow-birding would tend to be property tax on two homes. Income tax would be split based on time in each state. NH would be a bad place to snow-bird from. I've been considering whether I want to spend bigger money to retire to the MA coast (Cape maybe) or to get a smaller place and also something like a condo in New Orleans for winter. Will need to see where my daughter ends up.

I'm talking property tax.

If the $10k SALT deduction cap goes away, that will be a factor too. Chief took a bath on that the last couple years.

Bath salts are worse than SALT baths.

Knowing Geno - he was celebrating with his smirk every time JC looked his way
AND LOVING IT
Knowing JC, he probably wanted to get up and smack it right off Geno's face

Thanks Chief00
