Well south definitely had lots of year round sun. In still driving the eclipse daily to work. Was 70 a few days ago. Although its been dipping into the 30's last couple days.

CMP is still open for racing ever weekend.

I've lived all over the place. Everywhere has it's pros/cons. Everyone is different, and for me personally I really liked back home in MN. I almost stayed in AZ though, was very close to staying there. Might be where we retire assuming I don't kill myself before then.

I liked Minnesota enough to move back also. But that was because of friends.

I have zero friends here which is probably why I don't care for it. But I choose to not have friends because I just don't have time for anything anymore with a family of 6.

And a 2nd shift job

Not even on the list actually. I go there for work as I have oil and gas customers.

Probably thinking Carolina's, Kansas, etc. Need to start road tripping and figuring it out. First I'l buy a house here in Minnesota next year hopefully then 5 years out plan on selling it and moving somewhere warmer.

South Carolina does have its perks. Its just school suck, people are lazy as hell, and not a lot of jobs in my area.

But it is pretty well centrally located. And since a bunch of you are thinking of moving south hell,lets just bring the whole Minnesota group south loll.

In 16 miles from CMP.
8th mile track is like 8 miles away
Darlington (and its 1/4 mile drag strip are about an hour (50miles or so)
Charlotte is 2hrs
Myrtle beach is 2.5
Charleston is 2.5
Edisto beach is 2.5hrs
Savannah is 3hrs.
Jacksonville Florida is 3.5
Deals gap/dragons tail - 5hrs I think
Virginia international raceway - 3hrs 20min.
Atlanta is 4hrs.
Raleigh NC is 3.5hrs.
Columbia, sc 45min
Orlando. Fl /jet- I could get there in under 6hrs

I honestly wouldn't bother buying a house if you plan on selling it in <5 years. By the time you're done with maintenance, repairs, taxes, interest, closing, etc. you likely would have been better off renting and investing the remainder elsewhere.

I have a 2400sq foot, 4 bedroom , 2 car garage house.
Market today is $150,000
I pay $680/yr in house taxes
$600/yr for insurance

I pay- $32/yr for taxes on my eclipse

My mother has a 3200sq house bought brand new 4yrs ago. Paid 220,000 for it.

Hell if you want lake front property , 3 bedroom,2 car. With basement, with the producer of the jack ass movies as your neighbor , year round boating etc, My wife's grandparents house is for sale for $285,000 asking price.

[asshanson]

680 per year of property taxes? Holy crap that's like a monthly payment up here.

Edit: guess that explains the schools quality you mentioned.

Agree completely. Plus add in realtor fees, unless it's a booming market, probably lose money in only a few years.
