Aussie thinking about buying real estate in USA

I've been in all 48 states too many times to tell over the last 49 years of trucking. I've met wonderful people in NYC and dirtbags in Malibu... Like Chuck Berry said " dontcha know you never can tell"...

That aside... The Georgia coast is nice during the winter. SC gets a bit colder and damper. CA is gorgeous but the state I first visited in 1973 is long gone...

I love Texas and the area around Corpus Christie has nice weather and the ocean. The last 18 years I owned my own truck South Texas was my preferred destination... warm and friendly and the cost of living isn't bad. The people mind their own business, too. Downfall is lots of drug related crime but you can find rural area that's nice.
