Haha. In that case, I’ll keep my thoughts to myself.
I wasn’t trying to call BS. He could be right. Real estate agents are at least as good as broken clocks. I was just highlighting how much it can vary based on location.
3 years ago, I was quoted $40k for 125yd long damn 25ft at its highest, and clearing of 3.5 acres of headlands in SW MS. Just to show that it depends on a LOT of factors. 2 quotes I got were much less than this board had me fearing, fwiw.
re: Ballpark price to expand a pond

How long is the dam? How big is the existing pond? What re they doing with the spoils? Are they using a pan or an excavator?

You’re probably closer with your price range than me!

Can you throw up an aerial photo? How would it be enlarged? Moving the dam downstream? Excavating the headlands? How deep would this half-acre be?
I’m gonna guess between $15k and $50k without any more info.

re: Is renting single family homes no longer profitable?

I never jumped in but thought about it many times. I always liked to gauge purchase opportunities against the “1% rule,” but I don’t even see that possible these days. And, to be honest, even that situation is a modest RoR. That’s an RoR of 12% plus appreciation BEFORE loan interest, taxes, maintenance, and stress. Thats a pretty measly return. With that said, who knows what the future holds?

the right 100 acres could give you access to a very remote area and basically could have it all to yourself.
Are these types of places even available? Would’ve thought neighbors would buy them up long before they landed on the radar of someone from the Deep South.
re: If you could buy land anywhere in the mountains for recreational/hunting use/summer home

How much hunting success can you reasonably expect to have on a random 100acres out there?
If I’m stuck with that little land, I’m looking for something flatter. Can’t do much with rocky hillsides.

So you don’t own any energy stocks.

That’s not Denbury’s fault. They didn’t invent this new market for CO2 logistics.
If gets full sun, nothing will last more than a couple years. Epifanes varnish if you want the most longevity.
Also seeing noticeably fewer than normal in and around SW MS.
The funny part is that no one in parish government is smart enough or informed enough to intelligently debate anything the clowns are dreaming up. And they’ve still been unable to pass any sort of ordinances or zoning maps to protect property values of nearby residential areas, despite arguing over it for years now. Lotta clowns these days.
re: The 4% rule gets talked about a lot but was it ever really a “rule” to begin with?

I guess this is where you want to argue about what a “rule of thumb is.” Message boards don’t work well for these kinds of debates. Arguing such semantics is not worth the effort.
Have at it.

Yes. Yes it was. A rule of thumb. Who thinks otherwise?
I’m a buy and hold vehicles a long time guy. But I HATE the blanket thought that buying used is always the money-ahead decision compared to new. All things being equal, you must buy vehicles more frequently when buying used. You’re also under more reliability risk. I’d love to see a really comprehensive analysis of the options, but it’s a nuanced conversation.
re: If you were to buy land in New Mexico..

Sounds like a great place to live but maybe not the place I’d care much about owning land, unless it’s thousands of acres or gives access to some remote public land.
re: Looking at a new rifle scope, suggestions?

My usual recommendation to this is a Zeiss Conquest 3-9x40 on EBay. I hadn’t priced them in awhile, though, and I see that they’re out of your price range. I wish I’d bought 10 of em back when they were $300.
