Bitcoin getting closer to hitting new high prices and could go even higher than we've seen before. This could mean great things for people looking to invest and save, suggesting now might be a good time to get involved before it jumps even higher. It's an exciting moment that could change the game in general...managed to grow a nest egg of around 2.1Blitcoin to a decent 11.4Biitcoin. At the heart of this evolution is Fetch ai, whose deep understanding of both cryptocurrency and traditional trading has been instrumental. His holistic approach to investment and commitment to staying abreast of market trends make his an invaluable ally in navigating this new era in cryptocurrency investment. Everyone should have bitcoin in there portfolio.

[@brillithgarciaborge]

Fetch AI analyses go beyond surface-level trends. He delves into technical, fundamental, and sentiment analysis, providing a holistic view of the market.

[@Lisapeters-q6m]

I have never seen a trader as open and transparent as Fetch AI is with his clients. The way he decides to make a profit for his clients. He allows you to express your fears and she still rests your fears and that is my respect. I don't normally comment on videos, but this word should be included. He is really cool.

I grew up in Houston and, overall, I love it. It’s been a great place to live. But, as I age, the heat has become too much. I’m leaving before next summer.

[@bettyduncan8580]

Traffic is horrible....

[@gategirl66]

I didn't live in a flood-zone until Perry Homes moved in behind my house, chopped down about 300 acres of forest, then built it up with 1,000's of tons of dirt. They didn't want their new development to flood, so flooded us instead. You really never know for sure what the future holds 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@captaingregger]

The key to Texas is…. Get out of Texas June thru September. If you have some modicum of a plan to do that you’ll be quite happy with Texas. The winters are super short, the fall in TX is beautiful, the spring in TX is the best. But every year, almost like clockwork, June 15th to Sept 15th, satan weather. We keep a boat on the west coast. We keep our RV the PNW. We’re just not around TX much in the summer. But when we have to be, we accept it for what it is, HOT June-Sept. It’s not news, it’s boring to hear it talked about. Buffalo is cold in the winter, duh. Same thing. This is my 5th stint coming BACK to Houston. I’ve lived all over the world and I find myself coming back to Houston for a variety of reasons. Summer can be dealt with, but the best idea is to get most of your traveling outside of TX done during those months. If you don’t travel, then TX isn’t the right state for you.

[@toddhall7416]

Basically when it gets to 100 or over in Houston the humidity is low. The highest you'll see the humidity when over 100 is around 45%. I've seen it as low as 13% when it's hot. The problem is it's still hot and there is no reprieve in the night. It's still in the 80s or high 70s and the humidity goes up then as the temp drops in the evenings. A typical day in the hottest times in Houston is maybe 101 with 45% humidity. Then overnight it gets down to 86 and the humidity is 85%. Also sometimes the heat can start in early May. In May you can have cool nice days but often you can have very hot and humid days even in early May. Usually the weather in October gets better and you often have beautiful and comfortable days. This year however not so much. We only had a few days in October that were really comfortable. Most people run their AC at least 7 months in Houston if not more.

[@DominoMike]

As a local resident who has followed your videos for awhile, much respect for pointing out things that are detrimental to your job unlike other realtors. Two things that you touched on but should be expanded on much more are traffic and tolls. As an everyday 1+ hr commuter, the traffic with all the new development is becoming worse every year at peak times. Additionally the tolls on the 99 with all the new development are insane for non veterans.

[@DalenaDelValle-Realtor]

This is my favorite video to date! As someone that moved from a different state I have a few extra negatives 😁…. However, I always make a point to my clients that logistics is EVERYTHING when you buy a home in Houston.

[@NOYFB982]

The property tax bill complaint is a red herring. The price per square foot is so low that if you buy the same sized house as elsewhere in the country your taxes will be lower, not higher. The reason people see higher tax bills is that they buy much larger houses.

[@BuckleBunny]

My tax bill for the same size house I have now is definitely cheaper in Michigan, Ohio and California. 100% cheaper in California property tax wise for the exact same house even if I paid more money for the same size house my taxes are cheaper I know because it was. I have the same exact house but it was 200 something thousand dollars cheaper than my residence in California and I’m way more property taxes and property insurance

[@j.t1682]

​. Absolutely

[@dionnaburchell5621]

The reason property taxes are so high is because there’s no state income tax. They have to make it up somewhere 🤷‍♀️. Compare to jersey where it has the highest property taxes in the nation AND you pay state income tax.

[@Indigolakes]

High taxes, utilities, traffic, and heat.

[@tooslow2do]

@Indigolakes I moved here from Hawaii alone. I don't like it. Been here almost 9 yrs. I want to move to CO Springs. Anyone living there have comments? It's waaay too hot and Property Taxes are a killer. I have to save 50% of my net check for property tax.

Renting a home in The Woodlands, landlord did not want to trim the trees. Hurricane Beryl had a tree go thru the roof, in 3 weeks mold everywhere. Landlord was not interested in repairing the roof. Had to move. Not too interested in pine trees everywhere, grass is dead, flies everywhere, pine needles in the gutters, just a miserable mess.

Property tax 8:48 $700k home will have a roughly $21k/yr cost? Did I get that right? That might be a deal breaker for a lot of people.

[@livinginhtx]

@@Jaycee3 that’s with a tax rate of 3%. At 2.6% you’d pay $16,800 before a homestead exemption and at 1.6% you’d pay $11,200. Without state income tax this is much cheaper than California and many other states. But if you aren’t careful you could pay quite a bit in property taxes.

[@Jaycee3]

@@livinginhtx I do plan to call you guys when the time is right, but say I look at a property selling for $800k in Montgomery as my primary home. What is my realistic tax bill? Also, what's the typical HOA?

[@livinginhtx]

@jaycee3 it’d be easier for us to explain on a call, there are multiple factors. You may pay $800k for the home and it might only be appraised by the county for $650k so it all depends on both the country appraised value and the tax rate of that community. Most hoas range from $400 to $1200 annually

[@Jaycee3]

@@livinginhtx Thank you. Will definitely call you guys when we eventually leave CA. I understand that this property tax issue is heavy on a lot of Texans already just by seeing TX news and comments online.

​@Jaycee3 you should probably talk to these guys because what you pay is usually within the neighborhood you live. The more you have ...the more you pay

@@mohammadowais8683 I have lived here in Grand Central Park for 6 years. I love it. There are ZERO flooding issues here. Power has occasionally gone out, but I didn’t lose it in the last storms.

Now why would a person want to move to a sanctuary city with high crime. Greedy home developers building homes that a $50,000 wage earner can't afford. Apartment rentals are so high that a person that works in retail can't afford. Now they want to focus on the homeless.

How long will it take for a new community to drop tax rate from 3.4 to 2.4?

[@MichelleVoegtline]

My guess is more like 15 years. The more development around you, the more infrastructure ( bayous or widen the existing ones) and water towers are needed.

[@aaronm.3398]

The thing I hate about Houston is the left right left right left right turns you have to take to get anywhere here. It is non stop left right turns and you have to know where you are going to be in the proper lanes or else you are putting yourself in danger of a car accident. The off ramps are brutal as well on the freeways. Night time driving is okay due to 0 traffic but in the daytime it sucks. That's the thing I hate the most about Houston. Other than for me, Houston is amazing.
