CarlLaFong Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 Yeah, I think I'll just pull a mil, or so out, of one of my accounts and build one just like it on my 80 acre estate. I need a place to showcase my Bugatti Royales. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smithbrother Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 If you take in approx. $500,000. per month, well, it would be AFFORDABLE. Doesn't bother me that I don't have such, but I am HAPPY for them.Dale in Indy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 About a year ago that house and garage was featured on I think HGTV as one of those dream houses. A friend I was talking to last weak at our Saturday morning car gathering tells me he's moved his companies headquarters out of California for Texas. For the time being he will keep some of his houses here. He tells me that by just moving he has seen a 13% raise in income for the company. That 13% was not from added business, it was from the removal of California's tax burden compared to what he now pays in Texas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest vacabill Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 Yep he had 700 employees here, and asked the county for some breaks, which our county, has one the highest unemplyment rates in the state, but they refused, so I heard he offered his employees the chance to move to texas and he would pay, if they wanted to stay with the company. Don't know how many took him up on his offer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bhigdog Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 Ya'll come on down to PA. I live on 100 acres, nice home, horse stable, 5 car garage with upstairs wood work shop, another 4 car garage/ metal shop/equipment storage. Between PA state tax forgiveness for not developing the land and Federal payments for not planting crops my tax burden is about $1000/year. But there is a 3.2% income tax....................Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alsancle Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 There seems to be an out flow of wealth from California these days. Garage looks nice but he needs some help picking cars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A machine shed that is 60 X 130. A nice old house that he restored. The taxes are around $3,000 per year and he rents the land to a farmer for more than twice that. The Farm we had here in NY was 260 acers with three houses and lots of barns and out buildings. About 150 acres was tillable. When he sold about eight years ago the taxes and insurance was over $25,000 a year. The two shacks that I own on 8 combined acres is around $8,000 in taxes and around 2,000 for insurance. Tough to justify staying here, but hard to pick up and move with the business, and reputation I have established here also. Dandy Dave! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They call it taxes, but in reality it's income redistribution and it's mission is not fair and just. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dandy Dave Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 (edited) They call it taxes, but in reality it's income redistribution and it's mission is not fair and just.Where school and land tax is concerned in this state, we are never asked what our income is, we are just handed the burden to pay. If you cannot afford to pay, you will loose your property and everything on it over time, (Including your Antique cars and tools.) to the county. I'm finding that as I get older it gets a little harder every year. Everything go up a little, I tell my customers that I need to Increase my rates and they Cry like babies and say, " But this is just a hobby for us." It is a good thing that I am deversified and do more than old car repair for a living or I would be totally busted in this area. Dandy Dave!

For the average homeowner you can pretty much determine how much they are worth by where they live. Of course that does not factor in retirees who's income has dropped. It's these people who are being forced from their homes by high property taxes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also is tough for anyone that becomes disabled and cannot work for one reason or another to maintian their standard of living. Dandy Dave! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Shaw Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 I moved out of CA many years ago to enjoy no state income tax in WA (and no sales tax in OR if I drive less than ten miles across the river). Property taxes are reasonable but it gets pretty wet for two thirds of the year. That other third starts next month.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
