@@movingtotexas yea I'm hoping for a move in the next 6 months. Your videos have helped a lot. It's down to Dallas/fortworth area or Houston. Suburbs preferably
I have the same thought. But Texas is too hot for me, so I need to find another place with milder climate... that is not plagued by commies and marxists.
as a western Canadian i have been always drawn to Texas i don't know why maybe its the name maybe its something else... i never even been able to visit Texas... but right now the way the world is i am seriously considering moving there because to me Texas is the best
Every part of Texas has extreme weather of some kind and since they started different types of drilling' we now have earthquakes and sink holes. Small earthquakes but those and sinkholes are starting to show up a lot.
Im fromcali and i lived in texas.... Neverhave i everbeen as horrifiedwhen i heardabout the tonados on thenews.. And it hit in north. West and south dallas, when i lived in EAST dallas... Ivenever been sooohappy to get back tothe mountains
Please move to Texas! We love transplants! So many positives. From more job opportunities, entertainment options, colleges to choose from, mild winters....and so much more. What’s not to love!
Dana, tell them it's horrible and don't move here under any circumstances! We're damn scared that the interlopers, especially those from California, will turn our state in the hell holes from which they came.
Please come to Texas! We love transplants. Lots of job opportunities, higher education is a definite plus. A lot of entertainment options. Plus it’s now a melting pot which is wonderful means more restaurants choices, cultural enlightenment and if you are into religion a lot of options there too. Plus no state taxes! Winters are mild also! Win win!!!
These people wouldn't have a clue where those cities even are. But those towns are full of real Native Texans, not transplants faking being from here like the big cities.
Moving to W Texas in a couple months from California! With the cost of housing here, it doesn't make sense to live in this state unless your income is in the 6 figure range. Even if you live in a decent area, your spending all your money to simply just live. You will have no money left to enjoy yourself in this state.
I'm moving my family of 5 from Seattle to the Dallas metro area before this year is over. Can't wait. And before you all flood me with "leave your politics behind" comments... I don't think you'd actually want that. I bet your next paycheck I'm more conservative than you 😉
Dont move to SA it sucks, the traffic is horrible, every major road is under construction and its expensive to live in safe parts, theres lots of gangs.
Love FORT WORTH, more laid back slower paced large city. DALLAS is busy, crowed, very fast paced. There are Great, Good and Poor neighbourhoods in both cities. Great smaller towns around Fort Worth to the west, ALEDO, WEATHERFORD nice rolling land. Love TEXAS
I know you’re conservative but I’m *so glad* you mentioned the fact that liberals live here too! And no, contrary to what some say they’re not all from out of state either. I’m 35, a born & raised Texan, the child of two conservatives & a proud, card carrying liberal. If anything I’d say you’d be surprised who the liberals are. I’ve met so many “good old boys & girls” who love their country music & bbq & vote Democrat. Lol. As much as the rest of the nation may put Texas into this little red box, Texas is a very large, very diverse place full of people from different backgrounds with different ideas. Great video by the way. 👍🏻
I live in CA and have considered moving to TX for awhile. My hesitation has been the weather. Thank you for informative video. Property tax appears high, but considering no state tax and lower cost of living, possibly free college tuition will offset that. I think more details on crime rate would make you video more complete.
Conservatives are always way way way way more attractive than liberals are. Funny fact I’m a conservative myself, but somehow found this to be accurate. I’m a conservative from NY but I’m moving this year to Texas..
Plus side of high property taxes is that they are County and City based and fund schools, etc in your community. Meanwhile, your income taxes go to state capital and go out from there to politicians pet projects, graft, etc.
Thank you for giving the true good and bad about this great state. I was born and raised in San Antonio. Now I’m in N Texas. I love having new people move here. I just wish people wouldn’t try to change us. 😶
Hello Dana, How often are people Hurt or killed in a tornado.. Whether it hit their homes or caught them off guard outside. Research to relocate from NYC. Pardon the darkness in my question... 🤣
i am single mom and i just want to make sure i get the best life for my son. i want much more for him than living where i live now. it's not good to be in a small town country area where there isn't much to do
I like your videos and your honesty! I enjoy the way you break everything down for us to understand. I hope in the future to visit Texas and possibly move there... :)
Property taxes high but no state income tax and houses are way more affordable - I’m willing to take the hit. California I’m buying a crack den for $800,000 while $500,000 gets me a beautiful (maybe more than) a starter home.
Hi Dana. I'm hoping to move Texas in a year or two for a new fresh start. At first I considered living in Dallas because of the job opportunities and have a cousin who lives there. But I am considering looking into living near Dallas, so cost of living isn't too high. I'll likely being looking for an apartment first, then down road I will eventually buy a house once everything falls into place once finances are looking good.
Hello Dana, thanks for making this Texas Informative video, being a DFW resident and RE Professional who knows the Lone Star State pretty well since the age of 4. You shared a lot of great tips and advice of someone thinking (including yours truly) of moving to Texas. I hope and pray, that the Living God would provide the finances for me to move to some city in Texas, one day. God Bless you, Dana. :-)
Don't forget the long periods of drought and water shortages. Some years, there is very little rain and we hover in triple digits for many months. Unfortunately with all the growth in Texas, I don't think we have the water table to sustain a drastic increase in population. The foundation problems were mentioned. As well cracked exteriors with brick homes are common.
I love ypur videos...thinking on moving to Texas very soon. Thinking Frisco, McKinney, Melissa, Anna area...love the prices and sizes of the homes. Looking for 4bed, nice gas stove and good high school...and of course low property taxes 😎
I'm in British Columbia Canada and am seriously considering moving to Texas due to the government overreach the liberals are okay with. This is the best video I've found so far so thank you
Hello Dana . Although we have changed our minds about moving to the Dallas area and decided to stay here in north Seattle, I do like the conservative mindset and I do have a carry concealed license/ permit . I do enjoy your videos BUT I got to come clean . I have been cheating on you Dana . Not being faithful at all. I have been wondering over to Todd Tramonte RUclips channel. . What can I say : (
Great videos. You definitely gave me a few things to consider. I am transferring to the Grand Prairie area next winter for work and would like to purchase a home. We aren't necessarily liberal but we are African American and gay. What areas are safe for my family? We have 2 small children so we would like an area with great libraries and enrichment activities. This home will be a live in flip.We will only be in the area for 3 years.
3% prop taxes is outrageous cause thats 3% of say $300K which is a lot higher than my annual income. Id much rather pay an income tax than pay that. Other than that and tornados I LOVE Texas. Overall GOOD video.
I am a labour nurse in Canada...what hospitals in DFW or Waco have a good reputation for maternity care? Also my husband is an engineer...any firms people would recommend?
How often do people encounter those nasty spiders? I’m from Denmark and we don’t have bug problems here so that’ll be something new for us. And spiders are the worst
I so hope that those leaving failing liberal states will NOT vote the same policies/liberal politicians in because that’s very likely what they’re actually fleeing (bad politics). Let’s PLEASE keep Red states Red. 🙏🏼🇺🇸
I just hope that all the ones who are fleeing these liberal states that have voted their way into the mess they are in. Do not move to conservative states and areas and bring those same type of voting habits to their new state. If they are the ones voting that got them into this problem. If that is the case they should just stay where they are at and fight to clean up that state. Just saying!
Thanks for the comment. We are receiving many people here fleeing the politics from their own states. Many conservatives are moving here especially from California.
@@movingtotexas you’ll find the water moccasins and cotton mouths and copper heads more in the Houston area or by water and rattle snakes in the desserty parts
Austin is fun.... But as a whole that city is largely liberal.... Not so much democrat or liberal in a political sense.. Just a do your own thing and don't hassle others.
I'm thinking of moving to Texas, I'm conservative and it sounds like my kind of place.
Ric Tone yes sir! Texas is pretty conservative
@@movingtotexas yea I'm hoping for a move in the next 6 months. Your videos have helped a lot. It's down to Dallas/fortworth area or Houston. Suburbs preferably
@@movingtotexas If you’re not here yet, whatcha waiting for? 😊🤠
@@RicTone you would like Benbrook, south Ft. Worth. Super safe 😊. Moved here myself.
@Edison Loeurm don’t. Trust me. Do your research!!!
Conservatives and conceal carry? Sounds like the perfect place for me to move to! Not sure how much longer I can endure living in Southern California
I have the same thought. But Texas is too hot for me, so I need to find another place with milder climate... that is not plagued by commies and marxists.
@@anastasiab9506 Arkansas? Southern Missouri? Tennessee? Those are some states that come to mind for me
@@anastasiab9506 Texas would love to have you, but I've _heard_ Wyoming is like a smaller version of Texas country living, but with better weather.
If you are conservative and are good with conceal carry, hurry up and move to Texas. :) Fort Worth is my favorite city.
Me too!! I am borned and raised in Southern CA and am getting pushed more and more to move!
Can you do a video about jobs and industry in Texas and what would be good careers to get into for those think of moving to the state?
Yes, I do have plans for this in the future!
Where I live, the property tax is 1.65%
BUT state income tax is at 5.5%
Don't kill the wolf spiders, they eat the brown recluses.

What parts of Texas don’t have extreme weather? I would be terrified of tornados and floods, but that are still nice areas
I would like to know that as well.

Dana, tell them it's horrible and don't move here under any circumstances! We're damn scared that the interlopers, especially those from California, will turn our state in the hell holes from which they came.
Yes, although most I’ve been working with are escaping all the liberal crazy of CA
I agree with you but hopefully those people are fleeing that mindset to come here and leave that BS in their former state.
Please come to Texas! We love transplants. Lots of job opportunities, higher education is a definite plus. A lot of entertainment options.

Rev Patricia Bailey :Re read your Texas history as it has always been diverse(ref. 6 flags over Texas and I don’t mean the amusement park.).
@@prepperpatty199 oh do you mean diverse between Natives and Mexicans ?
Can you make a video about moving to smaller cities in Texas like Lubbock, Amarillo, Midland, or even El Paso? Thanx🙂
El Paso is not small.
These people wouldn't have a clue where those cities even are. But those towns are full of real Native Texans, not transplants faking being from here like the big cities.
Don't forget Stephenville
Maga!!!!!

Where is the free tuition? In Texas never heard of it.

Dana Pollard - Dallas-Fort Worth Real Estate nooo, thank you love! ♥️
Texas is a really great state. You are beautiful by the way
Yea state income tax is like $82 bucks in my state. The state income tax is not a big deal in most states.
Property taxes high but no state income tax and houses are way more affordable - I’m willing to take the hit. California I’m buying a crack den for $800,000 while $500,000 gets me a beautiful (maybe more than) a starter home.
Being able to speak my conservative views openly without fear? What a concept! 😂 That's a thing of myth here in Chicago. Fort Worth here I come!
hey, you here now? I’m in the general area.
Info I have found indicates that property tax rates in rural areas can be 1.5% or less. Is that possible or am I reading things wrong?
We now have open carry as well

Great video. I am considering moving to Dallas but I am a liberal and watching the video makes me pause and reconsider. Any thoughts? Thanks.
Same
If you’re liberal, you’d be most happy in Austin or Houston. Otherwise, you’re pretty much not welcome in Texas

Any property tax break for retirees 65+?
Yes there’s a 65+ exemption
