Look at Weston and Lincoln, it is no surprise why Boston real estate and rent is so high. This is what happens when you combine a red hot jobs and NIMBY supply restrictions.

I would recommend that anyone do a considerable amount of research before adopting that tax position. I have not read the legislative history of 26 USC Section 25D, but I do know that it has been amended many times and there are plenty of corresponding committee reports. I also know that when Congress most recently amended section 25D in section 13302 of PL 117-169, it didn't fix the "mistake."

I honestly think that your advice borders on malpractice if you were a CPA or tax attorney; you're recommending that OP take a position that is contrary to the law. Moreover, there's no good reason to recommend that. Maybe if OP already filed his or her taxes, was under audit, and "Congress doesn't know" was the only argument left, then sure, but suggesting that now--before OP has filed his or her taxes--just makes no sense.

The safest and most sensible course of action is to follow the law as it is written. That course of action is easy to defend in an audit and I guarantee that the employee of the IRS will be following that same law.

I'm sorry if this sounds mean, but I disagree with just about everything you've written in your three comments here and you haven't provided a single citation that supports a word of what you've written. OP can't cite to your comment if audited.

Instead, I recommend that OP read the various IRS documents and the law I've cited. If someone comes to a different conclusion than me, I'd love to hear it, but I can't see how that's possible.

As someone who regularly looks at property to buy and only in metro west I have seen plenty of 3 unit buildings or condos in 3 unit buildings on 6-8000 sq/foot lots. That is already the 15 units per acre.

I have not looked in Weston because it is to far from the city for what I am looking for.

Petersham and Orange are pretty much Central Mass.

How in god’s name is Great Barrington an unknown underrated town? FFS, everyone know that James Taylor lives there—the town is no secret!

Thanks for being the only asshole who responded!

“However, many of the state’s wealthiest communities don’t receive that funding anyhow.”

This is why her “warning” won’t matter to the NIMBYS’s in Metrowest.

In MA, if the car here longer than 30 days, it has to be registered in MA.

We bought in the Turkey Hill area and the only reason we had our offer accepted was because the house needed new windows and some siding replaced, plus the interior was very lived in, but I saw past it all easily. We went with the adage of, "buy the worst house in the best neighborhood" and have absolutely no complaints because we never would have been able to afford a turnkey home anywhere in town.

We live in a development in Belchertown and when a home goes on sale, it's rarely up for more than a month.

Last summer there was an open house here and there must have been 30 cars parked outside.

If you live here the car needs to be registered here.

Edit: since the car isn’t yours, I would recommend calling the RMV closest to you and ask them your question. They’re surprisingly helpful from my experience. Just call first thing in the morning.

The one over by the checkers store is open and tasty. Had it recently, pretty good, almost as good as NY pizza.

Belchertown pizza has been closed for a year now.

unless we are talking whole beans then Dean's Beans wins hands down

Can't wait until you meet Mr. Coffee

Athol has a Starbucks, Orange has ZERO coffee

Beautiful

Its all relative to the vehicle, town, etc. But you are probably looking at about $600-$800 (again depending on the vehicle and territory you live in it coudl be more) more without drivers ed for the first 3 years (and that is with no moving violations or accidents).

Born and raised and I gotta agree. I love going back for a weekend and visiting it’s absolutely beautiful but I don’t think I’d like to move back even tho the housing prices are so enticing. I have a ton of friends that have carved a very happy life staying put but it can certainly bog you down with out the right mentality. It’s also a lot better then when I was a kid that’s for sure.
