Crime and cost of living in your area.

With how much I make, my realistic max is about $250,000. It’s hard to find places where $250k buys you a house AND land. That’s why I started the thread. Georgia looks great, I can find jobs, and property in my price range. But the south is hot and humid in the summer. I tried Florida and Texas, and it’s just not my thing. I’d rather have frozen winters, than hot summers.
"But the south is hot and humid......"

I'm certainly not arguing that, but the simple FACT is, there will be a "BUT" with every single location you look at, because there's not a "PERFECT" place.
