I recently saw a question that piqued my interest. I used Google and
couldn't find any satisfactory results. The person asking the question
said that George W. Bush owned only one house. How many houses,
ranches, condos, etc, does George W. Bush own? It seems to me he would
have more than just the ranch in Crawford, TX.

When Bush was running for Governor in Texas, he listed numerous "real
property" interests on his disclosure statements.

His residence at the time was on Northwood Road in Dallas and (from
what I can tell) was owned by George and Laura Bush.  But in later
years, it no longer appears on their list of holdings.

He also listed a number of other property interests, but none that
were residences of any kind.  For instance, he had a number of Oil &
Gas lease properties, as well as something called an "undivided
surface interest".

But from what I can see, no other homes to speak of.  


If you'd like, I can answer your question by pointing you to a source
of information of Bush's financial statements from 1993 to his current
records.

Neat :-D Sure, if you could point me in that direction, that would be great.

Hello paullieannakeats-ga,

**PFD's in PDF!**

George W. Bush's Personal Financial Disclosure statements, or PFD's as
they are commonly known, are available at several sites on the
internet in PDF format.

The most comprehensive collection appears to be at the Center for Public Integrity:



http://www.public-i.org/bop2004/dw.aspx?cid=1



where they not only have links to Bush's PFD's back to 1993, but also
have a host of other interesting information, such as key campaign
contributors, soft money and PAC contributions, and so on.  I would
recommend that you spend some time exploring this site.


There's also a link to a summary table of all the President's reported assets:


http://www.public-i.org/bop2004/candidate.aspx?cid=1&act=details#asset


listed more or less in order of their value.  

These documents provide a (pardon the pun) WEALTH of detail about
Bush's assets and sources of income during his Presidency as well as
during his tenure as Governor of Texas.





Another site with a lot of the same type of information -- but still
worth knowing about -- is the Open Secrets site at:

Personal Financial Disclosure
for George W. Bush 
1996-2003



The US is probably the most information-rich country in the world when
it comes to providing information on the activities of the
institutions and individuals that make up our government.

What a great country!

Hope you enjoy exploring these resources.  Let me know if you need anything else.

Hi paullieannakeats,

After several hours of searching, I have found no reference to any
other property owned by George W. Bush besides his ranch in Crawford,
Texas.

I hope that helps.

Thanks Rainbow! I guess that is why I couldn't find anything either :-D
