[quote=flu]Texas actually has a decent high tech community, especially around Dallas….
And Gov. Perry keeps throwing bones at California businesses to relocate there too…. I think there were a few companies in SD that just relocated to Texas….And gotta love the no state income tax…[/quote]
TX makes up for no income tax in property Tax,
Probably works out well if you have CXX in your job title though.
I know a colleagues who pays 16K a year in the Dallas area on her 300K home.
In the better areas home prices typically exceed 500K in Dallas and Austin near the High tech job centers.
One piece of advice I got is that if you don’t have a working ranch or farm, it is best to have as little land as possible.
