Thank You sdrealtor. His experience would be welcome if he has the time to share. Please ask him to PM us @ CA-dreamin.
My husband and I are also pure data hounds (why we appreciate fellow Piggs). We have visited SD several times to view areas and collect information. We know SD is in our long-term plans but relocating our children and making a solid financial decision are at the top of our list!!
We have a few family members there but they are also relatively recent transplants and their children are grown so they have different considerations.
