So the work I do is 100% remote now. I moved to Southern California because of an industry that has in part moved to remote work. My only requirements are a temperate climate, nature access and hopefully a blue-ish state. Is there a place out there that makes sense financially? I’m hoping to buy a house less then 500k. I don’t need access to large cities as I honestly don’t do anything. The only requirement I can think of is access to solid internet as I stream full screen video for what I do.

I’m currently looking at Michigan and Virginia as options.

    West Virginia. No I’m not kidding.

    They will pay you $12,000 to move there. Housing costs are absurdly low. Morgantown is a thriving university town close to Pittsburgh. And the eastern panhandle has a lot of access to VA & MD.

    Move there and vote please.

      I’m seriously considering this, thanks. If you had to say, what are the downsides of West VA?

          Yeah, this is definitely a thought, but in all honestly, it’s either remote work or one end of a shotgun for me

        Wife and I just bought our first house here in WV and got a recently remodeled, quite nice 3 bedroom for 160k. For 400-500k you’re looking at a very, very nice house, probably with quite a bit of property to go along with it.

      I just fell in love with West Virginia a few weeks back. So beautiful and while not a blue state, exactly, the people there were so welcoming and kind.
