Cheers! Moved from Boston to Myrtle Beach, SC 5 years ago, so we could afford a home. (weather and gigabit fiber to the home don't hurt either). Still plenty of land to develop here. Get a new 2000sq ft 4 bedroom home for $150k-$200k within 15min drive of the beach.

Only challenge here is tech jobs: remote or bust.

I've been doing remote until I started my own company.

Wow, and that is exactly my point. For what is barely a down payment out west you could theoretically just buy a home outright.

Imagine the equivalent in the bay area or LA, it'd be $3 million+. Even in Seattle or Portland it'd be $700k-800k+ or likely higher given their trendy status.
