Do the snakes get into the homes in McKinney or DFW areas?
Have you done a video on The Colony yet? I visited recently and liked what I saw. Great video, as always!
New too the channel from Boston,Ma born & Raised so you are preaching to the choir , thank you for your posts I’m interested in frisco Dallas 😊
Frisco is one of Dallas' most popular suburbs. Our next video is on the pros and cons of living in Frisco. :)
Just moved from Houston to Euless in the DFW area 1.5 months ago. So happy of this change: this area is beautiful, only 5 minutes away from gorgeous and safe places like Colleyville, Grapevine, SouthLake. A little more expensive than Houston but worth it (Crime is so bad in Houston now and quality of life went down)
I like Houston too. However, I'd personally choose Dallas - Fort Worth
No Lies told in this post the crime in Houston is outrageous no thanks to Houston “Dallas Texas for the win 2024”🙏🏾🙏🏾💜💜💜
Best safest place to get a 300k home?
Thank you so much! This video is so helpful!
Thank you for watching.
Love the energy!
Thank you Anthony!
I concur! This past summer (my 1st ever in Texas) gave me everything I wanted when I said I moved here for the weather! 6 weeks straight of 100+ degree days every day WITH NO RAIN! I never experienced that before in my life, but I refused to complain because it beat the 15" + inches of snow and negative temps that the Northeast offered me for my whole life! It's January 11th 2023 and it's 82 degrees today in the DFW ...🥰💅💁♀
Ill hate the heat over the snow any day.
Yup I hate snow and icy roads!
@@VIPRealtyI'm from Canada. we get at least 6 months of cold, snowy weather.
@@davidarchibald1574 That's waaaaay to much cold!! lol
Respect your honesty...thanks for sharing your story! does your basketball program serve 6+ year olds? little guy will be coming to town 2023.
Thank you. We start competitive tournaments / training in 3rd grade. It's difficult to find much in that age group.
I personally focused on skill development when my boys were that age. www.BeEliteBasketball.com
North Dallas felt more diverse to me than Southern California.. which I was pretty surprised
Most of Texas is very diverse.
Ok thank you
The 2 big cons for me is property taxes and weather.
100%
I love Texas 🧡
You are absolutely right I moved here in 2010 and prices now 2023 are just way too high it's ridiculous, people remember Texas does not pay what NY and Cali jobs pay so if you relocate here bring your jobs with you Texas needs to give a cost of living raise if they want to sale and rent homes for these extremely high prices .I have enjoyed 13 years in Dallas but I am moving this year .My grown children will remain here in Dallas praying that they will be able to thrive and afford these prices to live, my daughter pays 1200 for 1 bedroom apt only 600 sqft , my other daughter pays 1985.00 for a small 3 bedroom apt. Mortgages are threw the roof and the high property taxes !!
Texas cost of living has gone way up. However, it's not only Texas. Every city/state as increased.
@@VIPRealty Did the cost go up simply because of demand? so many people all over who arent from texas are moving here. every week i see u hauls from california, arizona, mississippi.. and the list goes on lol
@@kendramorgan1070 Texas is defiantly in demand.
Lol that is still cheap compared to most of the country. Welcome to Joe Bidens America
That’s actually affordable coming from Orlando
lol smack in the butt lol love it. Texas is definitely a better fit for me based on everything you mentioned, but I don't know if I can deal with the weather. I have been in California since 2007, it's hard to give up the outdoor activities and weather.
That would be the problem. Cali weather is amazing. Especially compared to Texas. However, Texas wins on most other items.
Thanks for your information and its really help to decide where we can settle in US.
That's great. Glad it helped.
Great video! You touched on EVERYTHING I have been thinking about when I consider moving to Texas. My aunt and cousins moved to a suburb of Dallas and they LOVE it! I am considering moving to one of the Houston suburbs and I can't wait to visit in June. I've been in Los Angeles for 42 years and I'm ready to MOVE! Trust me, nothing you mentioned scares me away. It has to be better then here :) Any new construction in Houston we should check out?
There's a ton of new construction in Houston. Check out our website www.viprealestate.com/houston.php
You can search all new construction by price, size, etc.
dont do it.
@@ynavarroflores6460 why not
Hey Great video,new subscriber and considering relocating from Florida to Texas 2024 which nearby town next to Weslaco ,tx would you recommend?
Thanks for the sub! I can’t comment. I’ve never been to this city
Moved to texas from Southern California may 2020. We came to texas for 2 weeks, march 2020, and went to all the major cities. We really liked the Houston/Dallas suburbs, but Houston/Dallas were just to large. We narrowed it down to San Antonio/Austin. We ultimately ended up in a northern suburb of Austin. Best decision we ever made! Our quality of life has improved and like mentioned in the video, it’s central located for weekend driving trips and short and cheap flights to anywhere in the country. We used to drive to Vegas in 4 hours. We now fly to Vegas in 2 1/2 hrs. We got round trip flights for $48 in February. We got round trip flights to Miami for $89 in April. We got round trip flights to LA for $102 in august. Southern California is awesome, but for our 130k yearly income it’s not so great. We really have a comfortable financial living situation in Texas.
That's awesome that you're enjoying your move to Texas!
btw - where are you finding all the great fights?? Those prices are amazing.
Google flights, austin is the sweet spot for flights. We got nonstop flights to Honolulu for $189, April of last year on Hawaiian air. All the money we are saving each month we have really started to travel more. We save $2800/month by just moving. State income tax, rent, gas/commuting, utilities etc…
We still love California, we aren’t those type of people to be negative about a previous situation to justify a new situation. We just realized that both places are special to us. Born and raised in California, but now a living Texan.
@@MPR_2023 I'm with you. California offers a lot too. We just opened our first Cali office in San Diego.
San Diego is amazing! My wife and I both worked in San Diego. My wife worked in mission valley and I worked at north island naval base as a contractor. We would have loved to live in San Diego, but we couldn’t afford it, we lived in Temecula and commuted 60/70 miles each way. Yes, M-F we dropped our kids off at daycare at 6am every morning, then wouldn’t pick them up until 6pm every night. We did this for 4 years, until Covid made us remote March 2020. That’s when we realized we would never go back to that lifestyle again and we also realized we weren’t living the California dream being 60 miles from San Diego, 90 miles from LA, 35 miles from the beach and 60 miles from Orange County. We are now 15 miles from anywhere in Austin and have the same lifestyle as we had in California for a fraction of the cost and get to travel which excites us and our children. Thank you for your great content
@@MPR_2023 WOW that was a drive!
Texas cost of living is amazing compared to California.
Thank you for the great information. Contemplating taking a job in Ft. Worth and leaving Memphis.
Are there many small rentals for good prices? Looking to live cheap for a couple of years (and yes things have gotten more expensive everywhere).
This link will take to some listings under $1,500 tinyurl.com/34exu592
@@VIPRealty Perfect. Thank you.
Rentals, good prices! 🤣
@@beenadickarnold5666 compared to other major cites they are.
Moving next month to The Woodlands from suburban Boston. We have seen double digit rent increases in Boston for at least five years in a row. Average rent for a 2B/2B apartment with central A/C 30 miles out of Boston is now in the $3,000- $3,500 per month. Less than 10 miles from the city will start at $4,000. You will not find an updated 1,500 square foot single family home in move in condition in a desirable neighborhood for less than $800k to $1 million.
wow that's very high rent! I think you'll enjoy living in the woodland.
Yes yes Boston born and raised and I can’t believe the cost one pays for rent😢l the end of the baby boomer era😢
Boston is insane. I’ve lived here for 10 years after college and even with a high paying tech job I feel like I’m poor. Not paying a million dollars for a small fixer upper. The rent is at least $3k for a small 1 bedroom that is not modern. Looking to move to Texas or Florida
Yes
Here's an issue about CA that is often over looked.......especially by those that don't live there. The cost of that entertainment they speak so highly of. The mountains, the seaside........costs tons of money to visit and "play" in. Every foot of beach costs money to walk on, every hillside costs money to slide your sled down. There are no free ski areas. No free swimming areas. State beaches cost money, state parks cost money. Finding free hiking is difficult. And gas to get to and from all these places is horribly high. Want to visit Monterey? get prepared for $500/night hotel rooms. Visit Napa? Easy $500+ a night hotels and the tasting is no longer free. Wanna eat out for dinner in Monterey? Better set aside couple hundred dollars. Wine train, skunk train or Snow train........nearly $1000 to ride. The point is that it costs money and a lot of money to "play" in California. All that advertising of people and families having fun in "visit California" come with a very high price tag.
Yes. You have to pay to live in paradise.
Hi which Tex Mex restaurant shows the shrimp tacos ? Please share
That’s true
We are thinking of moving to Wichita falls TX area near end of May.. pros? Cons? * We do have 2 kids (elementary school aged)
Love the videos and information. I am a single mom from Orange County who was going to get my real estate license here, until I decided that it was time to make a move to Texas. I would love any help in deciding the best place to move and even if getting my license out there would be a wise choice. Thank you so much!
We'd love to assist you with your home search. As well as your real estate career. We have office in Texas and California.
What about women's health rights? Education? Public health? Air pollution? Those are important issues, far more than just taxes or home costs.
No question. There are a ton of issues. Cover more on our latest video ( Why People are Leaving Texas )
Sounds like you need to be in California
@@1CharlesSwain We have office in Cali too
@@1CharlesSwain .....way too many people......actually I grew up in S Calif and spent most of my life in NYC and 18 years in Dallas for my husband's work, so my business was based in Dallas......I moved to NE Vermont 2 years ago and love it. To each their own. Thankfully we have options to choose from.
I can't wait to move out there I'm from New Jersey
I think you'll enjoy the change. Texas is Great!
I can’t wait to move there either “Dallas,Texas 2024”🙏🏾🙏🏾💜💜💜
I’m in Cali and I’m ready to move to Texas! I am over the high rent/ cost of living
Cost of living is so much lower in Texas.
@@VIPRealty Thank you your videos have been very helpful
Property taxes are very high in Texas not affordable
Texas property taxes are high.
And so are homeowners insurance (because of hail storms and tornadoes) and sales tax. Sure, no income tax but the money has to come from somewhere.
It is!!!!
Except them property taxes my property taxes on water in Florida was $1900 my property taxes in Weatherford $10k
Big Difference
I moved from California to Texas in 2011. I bought a brand new house for $170k in 2012. It's starting to get crowded here in San Antonio though 😢😂. And houses are like $100k more now!
You made a good investment.
@@VIPRealty I really like it here. Yeah it gets very hot sometimes and a crazy storm here and there. But it's still better than FL with its hurricane threats every year (I lived there for a while) and Cali with its earthquake threat. Plus both of those places were way too expensive for me and my family. Southern California and Southern FL to be exact.
@@joseCalderon1976 I love Texas. However, I'd trade in our weather for San Diego's any day. lol
@@VIPRealty Me too, but no place is perfect. You just have to choose what you want to deal with 😂👍
What's the best thing to do should I take a trip to Dallas and check it out and look for work 🤔 👀 😬??
Plenty of employers in Dallas.
@@VIPRealty Facts 💯💯💯
Plenty of employment with really low pay! Fixed that for you lol!
@@beenadickarnold5666 that's no necessary true. Just depends on your skills. Easy job anyone can do, low pay. Difficult job on a few can do, very high pay.
If you live in the downtown area, do you still need a car to go around to the other close cities?
Absolutely. Everything is very spread out.
Gotcha! What areas are walkable then?
@@fitmissdarsh7725 Uptown is the most walkable area. Downtown is walkable too.
@@VIPRealty are there any careers in optometrist and low vision rehabilitation therapist profession in Texas?
I'm looking for studios in Addison. I'm fully remote and making $70k, so I think I can find something there.
Yes. Addision is a great area. Visit our website www.viprealtyinfo.com it will display all active properties for sale or lease in the area.
Hopefully, Texas will take precautions to void homelessness and rise of housing in spite of the population growth.
Yep!!! Its super busier here..lol
More people should move to Texas
I agree. Texas is a great place to live.
I live in texas now and housing prices have become unreasonable? What state can i move to for realistic pricing?
Home prices across the country have gone up, not only in Texas.
I’m over. Here waiting to sell in ca and buy Tx once I get a good job in occupational therapy. Only. 2 offers so far. Passed on Pleasanton Tx and southlake. Tx ( too expensive )
I like Southlake a lot. However, it's definitely costly.
Check out East Texas. Longview and Tyler are our major medical centers with reasonable home prices and property taxes.
O lort'. I live in Midland, there's enough land here to no end. Midland/Odessa just needs more diverse cultural activities, food and events. Other than that. If you want to work, this is the place. You'll just find yourself traveling to Dallas, Austin, and the other greater cities for cultural and social activities. I'm originally from NYC, and I miss the social aspects of it.
Very True. We have a Midland office and I don't visit it as often as I do our VIP offices in the big cities.
they think highway driving in TX is boring.....try HwY 5 from Sacramento to LA
I was conceding moving from Washington DC to Texas with just me and my three children
I think you'll like Texas. Cost of living is better and great people too.
Thank you so much I been thinking about it for three years now I was a little afraid
@@Angel7118 Don't be. Just do it!
I’m going to go for it
Single mother of a 14 year old son…I’m looking for affordability and safety…moving from Belleville Michigan…. We are black and would love to move somewhere diverse…looking to rent to make sure Texas would be a great fit. 1600/month ish ….any tips where I should look?
Cedar Hill , Desoto, Grand Praire and Arlington for diversity and North Dallas cities are better overall but alot more expensive and diversity is ok but not as much as the cities I listed.

Hi, I lived & worked in Dallas for 18 years so I am familiar w/ life in Texas. I avoid Texas totally....and I am glad that you have found a good situation though.
Curious to know whey you avoid Texas?
Where is the best place to live in Texas more peaceful
Depends on a lot of factors. Kids, schools, price range, etc.
In Small Town, East Texas.
Just visit Texas first before you move! It's overrated in my opinion.
I'm in Florida and I want to move to Texas. But i don't know where to start 😩
Where are you going to be working?
East Texas is still boring and very affordable with low property taxes plus gets plenty of rainfall. There's all sorts of jobs to chose from.
@@billwilson3609 Who are the major employers in East Texas?
@@VIPRealty This is oil & gas country so many work for oil field services, drillers and related manufacturers / machine and fabrication shops. Warehousing and trucking has become major employers due to access to two interstates and improved state highways leading to the Big Cities in all directions. Longview and Tyler are medical, commercial and financial centers. Longview has more heavy industries (Trinity railcar plant, Komatsu, Texas Eastman Chemical refinery, foundries, rail car repair, RR yards) so is a blue collar town compared to Tyler. You shouldn't have a problem finding a good paying job here if you're a skilled tradesman.
@@billwilson3609 That's great. I've done business in Tyler and liked the area.
I live in San Antonio Texas, rent is high and jobs don’t pay enough. Smh 😢
San Antonio cost of living is lower than most major cities like Dallas, Austin, Houston
Inflation; it’s everywhere
@@Chigirl2 100%
Lmao u think that’s high 😂
2:42 .. is that Texas?! Where is that?
I did a little research because, as a Texan, I know this is not in our state. From what I can determine, that is downtown Deadwood, South Dakota.
It’s South Dakota like @TheGilmerMirror said
i cant seem to get over fact about natural disasters and school shootings. want to want to move to texas
Hey, Good morning. Am I right to say that you pay 8.25% state tax and the reason why you pay a higher rate is because there is no income tax? Please correct me if I’m wrong. Thanks. Texas looks absolutely beautiful. Thanks for the upload.
Oh, I also forgot to ask if you have to pay capital gain taxes too? Taxes make me feel physically sick 🤮, yet bums don’t pay taxes.
You guys healthcare too can be rather alarming.
I absolutely love USA, I believe it would be far beneficial if you guys had a NHS system with strict rules for people that can use it.
Money each month would come out of your account and go to the police, fire serves and NHS. That would be under or around $300.00 USD per month depending on your tax bracket.
I would prefer to pay $300 USD per month then paying for health care and pay some more money if I’m sick.
Wishing Trump the very best for 2024.
I absolutely love republicans and hate with passion socialist.
Can anyone name one one socialist government that economy works?
I’m dead serious,
You you prefer to live in West Germany in 1960 or East Germany in 1970? Lol 😂 enough said.
Yea..and about those TEXAS PROPERTY TAXES 😂
Oh yes. They're high!
That depends on where you live. East Texas still has low property taxes, especially out in the rural areas.
@@billwilson3609 ok…move to the boon docks 😂
@@mjt4651 You may like living with us hicks out in the sticks!
@@billwilson3609 agree…I love East Texas…
I think that’s anywhere CA ppl are moving to
Moving to Texas Everyday.
As soon as you said Californians and New Yorkers are heading there, I'm looking elsewhere. Thanks though.
lol.
Exactly, They move and they bring their Politics with them...
California plates are swarming Dallas all day it's disgusting.
@@sleepmoneyken9234 The whole state of Texas.
Yeah I can’t stand people from those states.
My wife and I moved to Texas about 3 years ago to escape political persecution in California and the out-of-control taxes and government interference. Since moving here I discovered some major cons. 1. The house prices are way higher than they were just 5 years ago and no longer what I would consider "affordable" in the more developed areas. 2. Texas is not nearly as conservative as they think they are. Big cities in Texas are completely woke. 3. It is not the heat that gets you it is the hail and tornados. I'm told my roof is likely to be ruined within the first 5 years of being here. Yet the heat is horrendous. You really can hike or spend much time outside in August and it never cools off at night (until fall) 4. People here can't drive to save their souls. Terrible on both Highway and surface streets. Totally distracted, cut-off masters, and yet they will space out by 50 feet in a turn lane so only 2 people make it through a green or yellow light (don't get me started about the stupid flashing yellow arrows). The civil engineering is moronic. This applies to street, highway, and home engineering. 5. Your foundation is super likely to need repair. 6. Property taxes and all the PID and other taxes to support all the building is more than my mortgage. It is not at all more affordable here. 7. Toll costs will kill you. It adds up every month and nobody talks about how often it is required. 8. Compared to CA the Mexican (or Tex Mex) sucks. It is like the Chef Boyardee of Mexican food.
Positives - the people are much more friendly than in CA and many other states in the west. It can be very pretty in spring and fall.
"Property taxes and all the PID and other taxes" 100%!!
U sound like a liberal crying

Oh no Californians and New Yorkers are moving here ugh. There goes the state 😑
I lost count of how many Californians we've assisted move to Texas. Everyone is realizing what a great state TX is.
Prices have gone up since you made this video a year ago. 😢
Absolutely.
I'm never moving to Texas. There's nothing wrong with Virginia where I live as well was born and raised. I'm staying here and screw everyone who's got a problem with that.
Why would someone have a problem with that?
I never been to Virginia. I hear it was beautiful
@@VIPRealty Lots of people including my own family feel life would be better in Texas and that I'm a fool for preferring Virginia and not even giving living in Texas a chance.
@@justinratcliffe947 I agree, give Texas a chance!!
@@VIPRealty And if I refuse?
@@justinratcliffe947 I sure everything will be ok.
California corp tax may rise from 13% to 16%. Be careful operating in California. Never have been business friendly and I have seen tons of businesses choked to death because of compliance and tax burdens. Been here since 1968. Seen it all.. Be ware.
who said friendliest people in texas, nooooooooooooooo 🤣🤣🤣🤣

You can't say much these days without someone having a meltdown. SMH
Are you single? Delicious home cooked meals right here😉
What type of food is your specialty? Prices?
The cost of living is through the roof, this in part and no thanks from the exodus of Californians and other states from the union. Add to this the low wages per hour that the state pays. Keep this up for another decade and Texas will turn into California.
The cost of living has risen in Texas. However, it's risen in the majority of all other states too.
Get back to the basics Richard when it comes to preparing meals!
Im working on it. Sandwiches are going to have to do for now.
@@VIPRealty Totally understand! LOL.....Frijoles con feta cheese y mas. Wish, I could make a meal for you! (I just noticed my son changed my pic). Anyway, one of your representatives reached out to me in response to a question I had. May/can you do a video on relocating to TX using the F.A.D Housing and TX Corporate Housing like a vs., if that makes sense. Pros, cons compared to VRBO/Airbnb. Just resourceful facts I guess. Maybe check it out first?! Love your videos, they are very helpful. Relocating back to TX in March😃 - Wish me luck!!!
@@mr.titanz5209 Thank you. I'm not to knowledgeable about F.A.D Housing.
Ill look into it.
@@VIPRealty Please do. I am using F.A.D corporate housing right now (TX). Coming back in March, a single mother who researches everything. I believe it would be very helpful to many, seriously, and catch many viewers. I am Trenda by the way Thanks for all your videos.
@@VIPRealty I'm Trenda by the way. I am using F.A.D Corp housing now (TX). A single mother who researches everything. Coming back to TX in March, thought it would be helpful to many. Thanks again for your videos. (Hope this response does nt show up twice).
TX doesn't have the best Mexican food for sure.
Which state does?
@@VIPRealty California! Cali mex is a bit different and more “fresh” to me. Tex mex isn’t bad though!
We gonna move to Plano Texas shortly... Had a lot of fear moving to a new country... But after watching this I hope we made the right decision to move to Texas... Thank you!
Texas is a great place. I'm sure you'll love living here.
