I meant for whatever essentials you needed. Not for work. If I was a permanent remote worker, I'd be in Idaho.
I posted that under the chance you were seriously looking for affordable places in the state north of the gnat line. NW Ga is the place. Believe me, I've looked.
I was being serious too.
I've actually seen about half those listings you sent previously from my own searches. Heck, I remember Rome GA you could get a good ranch home on 20 acres for well under $200,000. NOT ANYMOREI've been looking for awhile now. (I have a GA r/e Lic) I'm baffled, absolutely baffled at the prices in N GA. They have skyrocketed. Dahlonega was the ultimate location for me, but to get anything remotely decent on a small tract of land (and I mean SMALL) pushes 500k ++ While it is doable, it doesn't make sense. Moving to a rural area IMO means cutting my house price in half. I have 3.5 acres now, in the heart of Suwanee City Limits, with a large brick ranch and basement. It's hard to give up the privacy and so close to everything. However, the traffic sucks. The people are starting to suck (can you say transplants from everywhere). I just can't see moving an hour further north, having the same thing, for the same money. Resale in Suwanee is HIGH, I can't say the same thing for rural properties. Many listings are years old in rural GA. My house would sell the same day if I put it on the market. This much property in Suwanee is RARE. Ultra rare. There really isn't much land left from the developers now.
Idaho. I know some folks from Cali that moved there and LOVE IT. I use to love Colorado and thought that was an awesome option, however, the prices have doubled/tripled and anything worthy is pushing 7 figures. Rural shacks are $250,000 on less than an acre. And I mean literally a shack!!! Have a friend in Denver. She lives in an apt. Can't afford even a small ghetto house. They are $400k plus for hood rat homes.
Unfortunately might be one of those things where I stay put for 9 more years, pay someone for the next 3-4 years to homeschool my son, and then PRAY that he can do the homeschool on his own until graduation. Wish I could find a worthy woman to help me. Current GF, well, nevermind.

PM inbound so we can stop hijacking this thread.I was being serious too.

Have you thought about talking to the local Christian school or private school in your area? Some have scholarship money to help you.
