2010 Archives RePost: Jack Shaking Like a Frenchman in a Thunderstorm 10 Oct 2022 7:20 AM (3 years ago)

When asked "If that's the way you feel about it, why do you continue to put off moving South (to Silver City)?" We all know that decisions about moving can strike fear in the heart of the very brave. "Decisions have to be made Jack. Don't sweat it dude," a rogue SD realtor Agent replied. Jack was overheard recently at a meeting of the First Heathen Church (non denominational) of Cold Hill

The 3.8% Tax Basics explained 30 Oct 2012 10:24 AM (13 years ago)

Top Ten Things You Need to Know About the 3.8% Tax (From NAR - National Association of Realtors) 1) When you add up all of your income from every possible source, and that total is less than $200,000 ($250,000 on a joint tax return), you will NOT be subject to this tax. 2) The 3.8% tax will NEVER be collected as a transfer tax on real estate of any type, so you’ll NEVER pay this tax at the time

2011- Find Gold n Silver in Silver City 19 Jan 2011 9:03 AM (15 years ago)

Now's the time to look for the "gold" that lies waiting for you in New Mexico. Less than 5% of the available and accessible gold has been mined (according to most experts).If they were talking about Real Estate gold, I 'd say that a much larger % has actually been claimed.There are, however, pockets of the precious commodity (both real gold and real estate gold) available if you know where to
