Who wouldn’t want a govt bailout! BILLIONS of dollars “for free!”
Just designed to extract other people’s labor. I know an Asian buffet owner in San Jose, CA took about $1M in PPP “loans” (courtesy of the Trump administration) in 2020 and never paid it back. He bought a house with it probably as a rental property.Vegas » 31 Aug 2024, 12:46 pm » wrote: ↑ Good post.

Finally, you said the truth. This is the first time that you have not posted a lie.

Capital gains from what?
Agricultural RE
What are his "unrealized capital gains"?LowIQTrash » 02 Sep 2024, 12:59 am » wrote: ↑ Agricultural RE
I am not a RE expert but my understanding is ARE is stable and doesn’t fluctuate much either up or down, and cash flow is not noteworthy. So it’s not a stretch when he says that property taxes have cancelled out whatever unrealized capital gains he accumulated over the years.
He never said P tax (annual) > rental income (annual).Blackvegetable » 02 Sep 2024, 6:49 am » wrote: ↑ What are his "unrealized capital gains"?
Either he works the land (unlikely), or he leases it to someone who does. That gives him income. His land may appreciate - though, as you point out, the value tends to move slowly.
If property taxes exceeded the income derived therefrom, there would be no farming.
FOS is full of ****.
Great misdirection always away from the core source of mayhem, madness, misery when top down chain of command works inside out time adapting forward daily here now.

He said / implied (Sigma symbol) P tax =~ unrealized gains.
Since he never sold, he is holding onto unrealized gains.
This is more about the opportunity cost of holding onto ARE (versus having capital allocated to some other asset class) rather than the raw net income calculation.
for ex. If FOS swapped his assets into long term bonds when they were at their peak yield he would have enjoyed more capital gains, higher cash flow (5%+), and not have to pay property tax (a major expense / headache).
If his property tax is 2.5% and annual appreciation is < 4% that is indeed a bad investment. (To be fair he said he inherited it so he didn’t make that decision, and even if he sold he would have capital gains taxes to deal with)
I see nothing wrong or inaccurate about his statement.

That 25% value, is it per hundred dollar increments of the land going for $100k dollars an acre?Blackvegetable » 03 Sep 2024, 6:19 am » wrote: ↑ One more time.

farmland in GA is taxed at 25% of its assessed value. The entire point is to maintain profitability for farmers. If you aren't generating the income to pay it, your land should be put to another use.
But, you say, this isn't about income, it is about (implied) capital gains. Any such "gains" are in direct proportion to the income the land generates. Further, prop taxes aren't synchonized to impled future gains. They're based on periodic assessments reflecting market valie at a point in time.
FOS' dad knew his son was a boob, and put his assets in a trust managed by jews. To this day, all FOS understands about it is the distribution schedule.
