I did great under Obama, also. Neither president should get credit for the global economy. But keeping rates low, even with a good economy can cause problems. Why are rates still so low while the economy has reached recovery? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair, we’ve been told that every month since November, 2016. It’s like nobody’s listening. . Don't forget all the people that died due to changes to ACA, the North Korea nuclear missile strikes, and the 42 degree increase in global warming due to #Orangemanbad. Yeah, I listened to Todd Herman today. Frankly amazing we could produce such numbers with 1/3 the people. hahha Edited January 18, 2020 by CoudyBills Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand, that's why I crossed out "property", referring to high end property and instead posted high end real estate taxes. It may seem like it's federal taxes that have gone up for you but its really high NYS real estate taxes that are the problem. You just don't get to deduct all of them on your federal tax return anymore. Simply speaking, NYS real estate taxes are too high. From my experience, if you could move your home to PA you'd probably end up not having taxes that exceeded the $10,000 cap on deductions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to travel around OH, PA, NY and NJ seeking sites to build stores for regional and national retail chains. If I remember correctly NYS was the worst as it pertains to RE taxes while NJ wasn't far behind and OH and PA were generally similar to each other but much lower than the other two. As a general rule NYS real estate taxes were 2.5 -3 times what they were for the same building in PA. One thing that I noticed in NYS is that it seemed like all of the main routes through villages or towns were getting torn up and new sewers and brick crosswalks along with cutesy streetlights were being installed. These were all on state routes and it seemed very pricey. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
