If I had the balls, which I don’t. I’d sell my business , my house , and get the fuck out of this high taxed, shit hole of a state Long Island , NY , and buy your business.
Good luck , sounds like you worked hard to achieve a nice successful business. Hope you sell and get what you’re looking for.
If you do move , you could probably buy a house in cash and not worry about a mortgage. Also PA has lower property taxes , maybe retire early or just work Part time
Thanks.
My new financial planner 
I like the sounds of it, but I’m missing that one aspect that I’ve talked about above 
Problem is the real estate market still sucks in PA (for buyers). My nephew and his family have been looking in The Poconos and Lehigh Valley for a year now to no avail. Seems everyone gave up on even trying to buy a house in NJ and started looking out there.
When you say it sux what does that mean. No available houses ? Prices to high ?
Yes interest rates are high wherever you go , it’s all about property taxes. NJ and New York way to high. I just looked and Pennsylvania is up there too. Going to have to look for a new financial planner. Sorry Genaro. You’re out !!
No houses. People are holding on to their homes because of the interest rates and lack of inventory. Can’t blame them. I see it here too… there’s a whole lot less people calling for quotes because they’re selling. Historically, we would get bombarded with them in the late winter / early spring.
I’ve still noticed a decent amount selling. I’m sure those are the ones who have there houses paid off and moving to lower taxed states.
But I’m sure it’s down like you say, becuase most won’t want to take their 3-4% interest rate to a 7-8% and like you say lack of inventory
We paid a premium for our house in 2021, but got in at 2.75%. The mortgage company sends me a letter once a week to refi at 2.8. Nope. I’m sitting on this.
2.75 wow, you scored!
2.75 wow. that’s a score !
I’ve paid a premium for my house back in 2006 high interest rate too, but since refinanced it to 3.9
We ALMOST got locked in at all time low 2.5%, but something came up with the paperwork that delayed the process by two days. Either way, yep, thats a score.
Took us a year and a half to and 3 “under contracts” to get there though. People though they were slick trying to unload dumpster fires with major, hidden flaws. Luckily our agent and my inspector are both friends and looked us out.
