chapin81 Given that at least one portion of your cattle enterprise is off shore and housing being as prohibitive as you indicate is there a more
practical location that would satisfy your requirements for quality of life, transportation or anything you would consider of tantamount importance?
I would submit you have given this more thought than the few meager words penned here. None the less a few words on the subject would be greatly
appreciated by, shall we say, your Landlocked Brethern!
Hi Lee Van Ross to answer your question. I'm a nyc business owner, I own a firm as a property adjuster for the policy holder also know as a Public Adjuster. It's a difficult business not for the faint of heart. I deal with homeowners who have lost their homes usually to a disaster an example would be a house fire. Can I move to upstate NY and live a better quality of life?? Absolutely! Would I go probably not. I have a 4 year old that my
Parents watch for us and I plan on having another one. I'm also saving the cattle from financial collapse because it wasn't managed properly. Parents were lucky to make anything throughout the year. But it wasn't until I took over that I realized that the people that my dad trusted were stealing. I gave them the boot in March 2020, branding was manipulated with the wrong numbers, fake time sheets, terrible herd sires, fake expenses plus many other things. Back to the buying a house part, I refuse to pay what a house cost in the area because.
1. It's a hole in the wall. Around the corner from us a family purchased the home for $1,100,000.00 and now have a 825k mortgage. I've attached the pics below with the price, the house sold in June 2020
2. I can move elsewhere but the rent will be similar, plus no parking, crappy school district.
3. Renting elsewhere I'll get stuck with a tenant in the same house or building who smokes or has roaches/mice, plus a crappy landlord.
4. If I move upstate whose going to watch my kid, wife works.
she would have to take the metro north and the nyc subway and pay over $500.00 a month.
5. if she takes a car your looking at 2 tolls and parking plus gas. So that's about 1400 a month just in travel expense. Right now she only spends about $125 a month for an unlimited metro card.
can I work from home yes. Can I take public transportation to an insurance claim.... not really. I'm basically stuck for a while unless I really hit a home run back home in Guatemala. Or my kid is done with college and then I can move to a farm and retire
I'm sure in other states a million dollars will get you a mansion...not here.
