Gary... You mention that your property tax is 1/4 of Meredith. However, you also pay a 9.3% state income tax, (1.5% city income tax?) and 8.5% sales tax....

If you bought out your siblings @ FMV... You get to keep the financial rewards of your initial share of the an increase in property value when you decide to sell, and any additional increase in value as well. (you don't have to split the $$ with your siblings)

I am glad you are in a good financial position to do this for yourself & your family, but no offense, but its apples & oranges comparing CA to NH. California is the ranked 10th in tax burden.... NH is ranked 46th..

That may be "technically" true but that stat is rather dubious when there are plenty of things that look, feel and might as well be taxes but manage to fly below the radar as fees. Still no comparison to California which is just plain off the reservation.

At least in NH if you have a 7 figures to play with you can buy a really nice house, compare that to San Francisco where you may be able to afford an upscale dumpster.

Maxum....

that's why I only listed the "big" taxes. Not the little ones like excise tax city sales taxes etc.
