I'm trying to find cheap land in the Southeast. I live in deep SW Florida and can't do it anymore between the prices, New Yorkers, and weather - problem is, I have no idea where to start and no trusted individuals for advice.
Have any of you picked up for a totally different place? I'm trying to find somewhere relatively cheap and white without being meth-central. Do I start by researching demographics and go from there?
North Florida is nice, and wealthy relative to the rest of the south
That's my safety option, but it's also 90% trailers/manufactured homes if you're looking for more than 5 acres for less than $600k.
I also don't want to be nestled between Tally and Jacksonville. I really want out of Florida. I'm sure insurance will be just as bad as it is down here since that area finally got a big hurricane. I think the majority of this state will be heavily urbanized within the next 15 years, with all the political and economic ramifications of that. I'm trying to find somewhere majority white and semi-rural, but that's becoming nearly impossible in the SE.
The only way to escape the insurance israelite is to own the property free and clear. The whole south is effected by hurricanes and flooding.
I can only speak for Florida having lived all over but I’m sure there nice parts of every other southern state. They are all extremely segregated. I would just avoid Georgia and North Carolina as the liberals are getting a strong grip on both
Thanks. Unfortunately, I really like Georgia - especially the amount of reciprocity laws they have with FL for contract licensing and guns - but I agree their politics are getting out of control.
Have other southern states had the insurance jump Florida has? I know you're saying that they all get affected, but I know people whose insurances has jumped up by $1000 or more in the past year here.
Probably not as bad as SWFL. I’ve lived there most of my life and it’s overdeveloped now with shitty cookie cutter houses. I’ve heard mortgage lenders say it looks exactly as it did in 08 when it spearheaded the global real estate meltdown.
I’m in south (east) Florida right now and the insurance hikes as well as taxes are also out of control due to values rising and we haven’t even been hit by a storm in a long time.
I have a hard on for Mississippi but it’s just a feeling never actually been there
Thanks for touching on the actual houses, that's another reason - there are communities by me where you can literally get lost because every house looks the same and has less than 50ft between itself and the next. Disgusting. I have a feeling the rising values will not stop until Florida hits metropolis levels - I live in Naples and have watched it go from dirt-roads to condo complexes on top of communities on top of a golf course surrounded by 20 boutique plazas.
I don't know much about Mississippi - my goal is to travel around, so far I'm only familiar with south Georgia. I'll probably add it to my list since you seem like a proper south-easterner. I did a brief tour of the Carolinas, but I wasn't much for the amount of hills and rocks on some of the land (although that's something I'd be willing to deal with if I could find a nice area).
The traffic is equal if not worse than Miami at this point. I used to commute up Livingston years ago and rush hour warranted suicide. I can’t imagine how bad it is now.
I can believe it - I actually hit traffic driving through Naples at 5:00 on some roads. Stop-and-go type shit. The amount of cars I see on the road during the weekends is Orlando-burbs tier. Not to mention the amount of freshly emigrated Haitians. This place fucking sucks now. Politics are it's only redeeming quality, but even that is being worn at by LARPing Michiganders with hollow values.
Haha based. Hopefully we crossed paths while I was there. I think Naples to Sarasota will turn into a Greater South Florida and be a whiter Miami. Good for business and property values, bad if you’re trying to get away from urbanization.
On GA, like the other anon said that Atlanta controls the state, it’s akin to Illinois at this point. I don’t expect bulldogs can save the sinking ship
Me too. They're developing the fuck out of Ft. Myers, but it got raped by Ian. The last part that's still kind of woodsy is North Port. I imagine in 15 years this side will be the same as what's across the Alley. Do have a place paid off down here?
Thanks, I briefly considered the Midwest but I don't like the cold and know nothing about the areas. I'd still like to check it out though.
I feel for you, central is absolute fucking garbage. My family keeps trying to convince me to move there because they think it's somehow better that SW. Are there any spots in KY you wanted to check out?
Honestly, I think the SE has been shilled hard in general. Everybody wants out of cities but doesn't want to move to flyovers.
Not paid off, condo locked into a low rate so no reason to. Just long holding it and renting it out, great location so it’s value has gone up a ton
You're a lucky man. My mother's neighbors rent out their house for $350/night - just a normal 2 bedroom house, actually across from the park where every spic in Naples deals drugs, but it's kind of near the beach so retards stay there every week. It's easy mode if you moved here over 20 years ago.
I haven't considered MS because the only person I've known from there with an addict that bred black and tan coonhounds.
Atlanta is the only "liberal" part of Georgia lol
go anywhere else and its hicktown with dudes armed to the teeth
I noticed this whenever I go to GA, but why are your state level politics so shit? For hicks armed to the teeth, there's major bullshittery at the top that shouldn't be there.
if atlanta is 70% black, put 1 and 1 together...
Florida has the same issues with Jacksonville, Tally, and basically every other city, but it's still hard red on state policies. You guys have bigger issues that just nigs. I'm guessing plantation white guilt?
Even the rural Hicks come off as colossal homosexuals in GA
Is that Eminem before he started rapping?
I know you said southeast, but consider more westerly zone for what you seek:
Oklahoma: anything south of Tulsa and east of okc (some meth)
Texas: counties: archer, clay, young, Montague (minimal meth)
Also, I think Texas is overhyped. For whatever reason, it does nothing for me. Maybe because I associate it with Mexicans, like in Florida
I live in central FL and I’ve been wanting out for a while. I was considering taking a trip to Kentucky a few years ago to get a feel for it but it never happened. It’s probably one of the few places I’d move to. Lots of land and good weather, relative to FL anyways. It’s been shilled hard the past couple of years so the prices may have gone up. I haven’t really been following it but it could be something to look into
If you're looking in MS, where there some decent areas in that meet your criteria, use this map. The more Blue thr more desirable and the purple the less desirable. Trust me on this one.
>I'm trying to find cheap land in the Southeast. I live in deep SW Florida and can't do it anymore between the prices, New Yorkers, and weather
I live in a similar area. I always laugh at homosexuals on this horrible website telling me getting a job is easy or that rent is cheap. It's not when your local city is being swarmed with out of state homosexuals and immigrants who get all the jobs and buy up all the housing.
Aren’t there nice places in Tennessee?
