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.

    Corbett looks nice, the yearly average temps look good. Would you say that’s a more rural option? I’m looking for something outside any major city, I don’t go anywhere honestly.

      I’d say so. It’s the kind of town with one main road that runs through the center. I had a family friend who lived there and when I visited the houses were all surrounded by acres of fields, plenty of room for horses and such.

      You might like Hood River. It’s a little more of an established town with grocery stores and many breweries/shops/outdoor activities.

        My brother in law may be involved in this as he seems to think there’s tax advantages to living on the Oregon / Washington border. Would you say this is true? It’s not like I buy a lot of stuff, am I crossing the border for groceries? Trying to see what he’s seeing.
