I wish we could move....

[Alexz7272]

Yup, staying away from Austin. I'd love to find a good 'medium' town, he doesn't like big cities anyways. I just don't know much. I'll look at Tyler too!

I have officially found the house of my dreams

That's the house of all of our dreams. Show that to your boyfriend and ask him how much he really likes Colorado!

Now all they need to do is come down $200K so you can dump your mortgage!

 

[Mike CHS]

That place is only $655K more than we paid for our place.

But that is a dream place.

 

[NH homesteader]

Yup same here. We owe $24k on our place right now. It's not much but it'll be ours free and clear before I turn 40. Everything we do from there on out will be as we can afford it, in cash.

TN prices are pretty darn good too!

 

[Alexz7272]

HE HAS OFFICIALLY SAID HE IS OPEN TO CONSIDERING IT AND INTERESTED!!!

 

[NH homesteader]

Go you! Hey we can totally keep telling you more reasons to move along the way in case he changes his mind. We are very convincing.

I'm thinking from my experiences that Austin would be where I'd like to go, he has never been to Texas so I'll have to bring him down to get an idea of the areas. Anyone know that area and how hard it would be to find some land? Maybe a bit farther out? Also, opinions on Austin? If ya'll don't mind

I don't mind a bit. If they paid me the market value of a 'dream home' near or in Austin, and that much again annually for the next 5 years, I still wouldn't move there. If Phil Sheridan were alive today he would say:
"If I owned Austin and hades, I'd live in hades and rent out Austin"

It's not quite as bad as Paris Tx, but a very very close 2nd.

That is an awesome place! Satterwhite log homes have a VERY good name around here, very well made homes. Satterwhite is in Longview so is considered local. There are a lot of their log homes around and people really like them. 79 acres!! It is in a good location. Close to Tyler, easy commute, but far enough out to be "in the country". If this is what you're looking for and in your price range, jump on it.

You and your boyfriend should make a trip to Texas and look around. Get several places lined up to look at. But I must warn you, good deals go fast. When my husband and I were looking, places sold before we could even get up here to look at them.
