I'm fairly new to your channel but Im so glad I found it! Very informative and calms my nerves for my move to ABQ from Chicago. I lived in ABQ before but this time, it will be permanent. Watching these videos and getting all the info I can, helps so much! 😊
Sam we’re happy that you’re getting value from our channel! Be sure to reach out when you get here. We’d love to get your perspective on moving from Chicago to the southwest. 🏡
You are awesome. Very good content. We lived in Santa Fe, New Mexico for 6 years, moving to Connecticut and now thinking seriously about going back to NM, but this time establishing in "Burque". I am very happy to have found your channel. Excellent.! From the 23 degrees today, cheers from the Northeast....
@@bobbygreene7748 Copy that! You're always welcomed in the Duke City! BTW, I've got a segment airing this Saturday on Bloomberg at 7:00 pm EST on 01-07-2023. Tune in!

Home owners association = paying a fee to have somebody tell you what kind of paint and blinds you're allowed to have in your own house. Screw that nonsense.
Objectively speaking, 3:30 - 4:00 you did a very poor job of showing the "deterioration over time" in your visual difference to explain why it's worth $600/yr+ to pay for an HOA. No knocked over "dumpsters" (garbage can maybe?), didn't see any weeds anywhere, many people have 2+ vehicles just for a single person such as myself, "trailers everywhere" oh my goodness. Alert the media! Which neighborhood were you bad mouthing? Looked quite nice to me, only issue was the one home with 3 cars OUTSIDE of the driveway sticking out onto the street. I'd buy a home there in a heartbeat. The arrogance in your video is sad. edit - "for $25/mo your neighbors will be held accountable to clean up after themselves" as he's showing a really clean neighborhood, a fence here and there is missing a plank, and people aren't bringing their trashcans back up to the house after trash day. My goodness. The life you have had and the life I have had are so different. I've traveled for a living for over 5 years and this is just laughable. My home now, all my previous apartments and 2 previous homes, all the traveling I've done, there is hardly anything you showed that could be looked down on. Seriously, which neighborhood was that you were badmouthing, i'm looking for a home in ABQ and would gladly live there in that clean and nice neighborhood with nice-ass looking houses where the snobby people such as yourself turn your nose and keep driving. Shameful.
I will NEVER live in an HOA community. Too many horror stories. I'd rather deal with a neighbor who's got 3 cars parked out front than letters from the HOA board telling us that my wife planted too many plants out front, or that I didn't get permission to paint the house trim THAT color. I'm not paying a group of busy-bodies to tell me what I can and cannot do with MY house...
And bed bugs! Someone moved into my apt. comples last Summer who had been staying in an infested motel while he looked for an apt. Ne we have a bugdemic. The owner waasn't doing much, but he sold the entire block to a real estate C. who is going to get rid of them. I hope. I've been fighting them for a year without getting rid of them. I thinki that's because they move around the complex. * Chucky in the drain!
@@AllAboutABQ It can be done, but it takes pro equipment to do it. I don't think the new owners of the property knew about these squatters until after the deal was done Heating the apt. to 122 degrees or a little over for about 10 hours does the trick. That'd ruin the print head on my photo printer and photographs.

@@samkay8420 You'll be just fine!
I close on my house next month and have been obsessed with your videos! I have learned so much. Thank you!!
That's so great to hear! Where are you moving from?
@@AllAboutABQ Prescott, AZ :)
I must question all the green lawns. The Southwest is in drought conditions!
to conserve water, we spray paint the grass. Its much friendlier on the environment!
I have read that ABQ has high crime rates. How much crime is there in reality? I am getting info from websites that track crime rates...please help.

Cheers to you Maria! The door is always opened and we'd be happy to have you back in the 505!
Las Cruces impressed us to the point of coming back for a closer look sometime later this year. A well-kept secret.
Agreed! Love the landscape!🌵 Let us know if you need assistance in LC.
Been following you for a bit, and just saw you on House Hunters. Love your vibe, Skip.
Bobby, that's fantastic! Are you an ABQ resident?
@@AllAboutABQ I'm not. My wife is from ABQ, so we're there all the time - and are considering moving out there to be closer to her family.

Thanks for the love! Are you local?

@@AllAboutABQ I have camped in Death Valley before:) No stranger to the desert. lolll
Should not use ABQ in the video description…how about “buying a cheap cookie cutter house in rio Rancho and fighting west side traffic”
Haha truth!

Are most HOA against having a RV in the driveway?
The driveway is usually OK as long as the RV fits. Street parking is a no-no
What would a typical monthly pest control cost?
Hi Michael! We can get some quotes based on size, location and type of monthly service when you get here!

Kind of snobby sounding, people with work trucks , it least they are working
Working folks are what makes our city great. Do you typically park your truck in your front yard?
