Property taxes after the fact were also outrageous.......taxes on farm and ranchland here are cheap.

I would love to move to the NE.....but the Pacific NW is looking better and better.

You're telling me. When 1/2 of my mortgage payment goes to taxes and the other 1/2 goes to the actual purchase price of the house, the ratio doesn't look too good.

I was looking at purchasing the property outright.....but the taxes on the purchase and future taxes were too much. NY needs to do something to boost new people.....IJS.....

The same infrastructure and land purchase in Texas or Florida would have been about ten times less taxes.

Too bad, as I really liked the place......the sale price was right....it was the hoops to go through that was bad.

There is a similar place near Philly I am looking at and I made an offer....waiting on the HO to come back with a counter.....

I really like the NE.....but the NW is looking better and better......

As the saying goes, you get what you pay for (usually).
