Considering relocating to Texas

Hello MoparR&D. As I'm a Texan (since 1980) and a realtor (please don't use that against me), my brother sent me your post about 'ya'all' investigating moving to Texas. Above my 'profession' is my belief in my Lord Jesus Christ. And my desire is to provide realtor excellence and joy to my clients.

As you state, Texas is huge - ~ 800 miles N and S, and E to W. Most of it can be darn hot in the summer. But generally it offers a cost of living - including housing - which is middle of the pack for major cities; the #1 or #2 growing economy and job growth of states in the USA; mostly warm, friendly people and law and order almost universally rule to in Texas (the Mexico border being a big exception but most of that is due to federal issues). I love it here. (My home town was Cleveland, Ohio. Population 1950 = 920,000; currently ~ 320,000. Taxes, regulation are 2 major reasons folks have left. And the cold, snowy winters. Sound familiar, LOL?)

Issues: the pretty much open border with Mexico, hot summers, folks that love to work on vehicles mostly don't like our HOA's (home owners associations that restrict what folks can do outside their homes 4-walls within their subdivisions - call me for more info here).and property taxes are over 2% annually in the N E Texas area (though we have no state income tax).

The team I'm apart of has helped a lot folks move from many parts of the country to N Texas. And we'd love to talk with you. Let me offer to let you all join (remotely or in person) one of our home buying seminars where expert realtors and mortage professionals / loan officers do short presentations then take questions. Our next seminar is THURSDAY, OCTOBER 13, 2022 AT 6 PM – 8 PM CST (we can also do 1 at any time for you and your family).
