I do recommend Kentucky. Like Elizabethtown(Made a movie after this town). I live in Radcliff. Have a 3 bedroom 2.5 bath, full basement, 1/4 acre lawn for a mortage of 600 a month. Total Price 53k!
DM: The most important advice that I can give you (as a formal LEO) is this and NEVER forget: ***** You can choose your friends, but not your neighbors. ******* You can have the best house, the best property and they don't mean NOTHING if you have bad neighbors. You won't be able to sleep @ night. From obnoxiously loud parties (911 CANNOT help you), to running a Drug House (strangers come in and out all day) to I've many cars and I'll park anywhere I want INCLUDING ON YOUR PROPERTY (because why not?) to running a business inside the house (like a used car dealership) for whatever reasons the Russians LOVE doing this (so they have many, many used cars parked outside on public streets), to domestic abusers (they're dangerous and YOU might get involved unwittingly) to uncontrolled teenagers to dog poopers (they $hit in front of your house and they don't care). Just to name a few. Good luck.
True. The quality of neighbors at a market price of $300K might not be the greatest. Try going for large acres instead of city/burbs. Ask Elon for a favor and get starlkink.
how quickly prices went from 200k to over 1million lmao, i remember last year looking for somewhere to go on holiday and i remember ending up looking to buy a private jet lmao
For $400k, you can get a 7200sqft fully decked out mansion with a pool on a 1.2acre loft with insane mountain view in Bulgaria. Houses like that kinda look like the 3.95M one at 7:35. Add to that cheap optic internet (2gbps down/1gbps up for $20) and generally cheap prices on most stuff.
There's something therapeutic about you living in Alaska while I watch your streams/videos though. Knowing that you're out near wilderness has a soothing feeling I guess.
Don’t listen to those comments it makes sense. You’re not asking him to stay but yeah I think it when I see him and it forms a different connection with the content
Chattanooga, TN is your city. Not too big. Not too small. Fantastic Fiber internet. Mountains and outdoorsy town. 2.5 hrs from Nashville and Birmingham. 2 hrs from Atlanta
@DM - I know you're looking at going some place that has 0 income tax, but one thing to keep in mind, if you buy a lot of groceries/general goods, 0 income tax states have typically high sales tax (which can make up for that 0 income tax). Case in point, Washington state has nearly 10% sales tax, a high gas tax, and 0 income tax. Meanwhile, states with income tax typically have low sales tax and gas tax. Arizona has around 7% sales tax with their income tax. Comparison as well, a gallon of gas in Washington state is around $5+/gallon where as Arizona is around $3.5/gallon. So remember to look into the alternate taxes (sales, gas, etc).
they are not the only tax you have to worry about though. but yea none of the states seems to have good taxing that works for everyone. I'm also thinking which state is the best for houses.
Just a note for Texas. The houses might be cheap "sticker price" but you typically pay quite a bit more in property taxes compared to most states which will make your mortgage much higher than the houses at the same cost in other states. But Texas also does not have state income tax.
In the latest episode of DarthMicrotransaction TV, we watch our plucky hero Goon over Real Estate! Remember, Texas gets you by the balls in the form of Property Tax!!
Very true, I lived in North Fort Worth and the property taxes are very high. Also,all of the roads are tolled...so they make up for the lack of state income tax.
Man I love these kinds of videos. I enjoyed every second of it. The humor side of it.. I loved it. More videos like this please. Thank you very much DM
As someone that grew up in Oregon & Alaska, and moved to the east 3+ years ago... I CAN"T WAIT to move back! Moving east was one of the biggest mistakes of my life.
I'm telling you. St. Louis County, MO you'll get the most bang for your buck. It's not on everyone's radar, but once people move here, they don't want to leave. It has a great blend of everything minus mountains and the ocean.
My cousin lives in Tennessee. Nice but very hot and humid in summer. Bit of snow and cold in winter, though nothing like Alaska. She's looking to move back to the Pacific NW. Coastal Western Washington, temperate year round, lots of forest and ocean views. Washington doesn't have a sales tax either.
WA has no income, yes sales, yes property taxes...however if you live in southern WA you can shop in OR, which has no sales tax but does have property and income taxes!
@@TheThundercookie Yep. As long as you aren't buying vehicles most everything else you can buy in Oregon without the sales tax. SW Washington pretty much gives you the best of both states. I actually live in NW Oregon myself, though in one of the counties with a pretty low property tax. While we do get some triple digit heat in the summer these days (didn't 40-50 yrs ago when I was a kid) it's still usually pretty temperate weather.
You should really look into central kentucky, near Lexington Ky or Louisville, you gonna be hard pressed to find a better cost to value to acreage ratio with all amenities nearby, country living, city life etc. Not trying to be a real estate agent but just having seen these searches yeah, all these other places seem totally wack when compared.
On that last, lime-green house, it looks like a demilitarized zone. And yet I have seen really good renovators turn something like that into something amazing. I'm guessing it would cost a few hundred thousand to do up really nice though, assuming there are no foundation issues.
Alaska and Maui Hawaii two of the best places I've vacationed. Absolutely beautiful!! I'm a Kansas country boy born and raised, working on my wife she's Long beach girl. But were for sure moving Cali just aint it
Stay frugal with new found wealth. I've seen so many up and coming YTers that went on spending spree and years down the line, they are back grinding. Love u DM. As much as I wish your YT career have a nice longevity, your chosen path is very volatile and subject to the winds of your audience. You do not have to be like Asmon (you could) but i hope do not fall to the same trap that many before you.
Torture basement ..... priceless. I had friends house-shopping who found this perfect home ... but then the 4th bedroom had a sink ... in the closet. They got out of that serial killer's house ASAP.
@@pencilcheck well first I was laughing about him calling the one basement a 'torture basement'. And then I was saying that a couple years ago, friends of mine were house shopping. They found a really nice house and right before they left, in the 4th and last bedroom, they opened the closet. And in the closet was a full sink. That gave them 'serial killer' vibes and they changed their mind about the house completely and got out of there right away.
All right I’m just going to throw this out there. PR is part of the US and have fantastic incentives from the US mainlanders to move here. Unfortunately moving from somewhere like Alaska where the high was 75 to here where it’s been 120 maaaaybe could be somewhat of a culture shock…
The one on the river was the best screw the I want the property being on is ideal they usually connect to more than one body of water I would be fishing all the time
All the bad houses were nicer than my house... We're hoping to move someday but it feels like the dumpster behind Chuck E Cheese is at least 150k over our budget. Location is great, though, and there's plenty of parking.
Where you heading to brother? I recently moved from Alaska myself. I am currently in the searching for my place, my vibe as well. I have lived all over the US and think I have nailed it down to a few solid choices. Its fun especially when you know what you want.
Thinking the castle, yeah?
live now: www.twitch.tv/darthmicrotransaction
If you're going to move make sure you at least check the crime rates in the area XD.
D m we gotta get everybody to give you one dollar Then you can easily get your 300k home
I'll help pay if i can get my channel off the ground! lol fellow diablo 4 content creator here.

More of this, please. Houses or whatever, just chillin with DM for 20 min.
16:04 "They bought me but they wanted a giraffe." Lmfao
The giraffe part almost killed me lmfao
I'm dying right now xD Jesus tits!
"Looks like someone's been smoking cigarettes on the roof" fucking died for how accurate that was. Rofl

i can bet you are the shitty neighbor
out of all those I take dog poopers I poop too, I will poop in their yard thru a hole in my boxers to avoid ending up a list
Wow you have a VERY pessimistic and fearful view of reality bud.
@@bryanbryan6108 the operative term being 'reality'. Hell is other people. ;)
how quickly prices went from 200k to over 1million lmao, i remember last year looking for somewhere to go on holiday and i remember ending up looking to buy a private jet lmao
15:37 and forward just floored me completely KEKW!!! the giraffe bit is just pure gold hahaha!!!

Seen the thumb nail and thought holy crap he is moving across the street from me...
Saw the thumbnail. Saw. It’s saw. Not seen. Saw!
@@bryanbryan6108 I seent it.

almost fell from my chair laughing at the giraffe home

Wtf did I just read
Don’t listen to those comments it makes sense. You’re not asking him to stay but yeah I think it when I see him and it forms a different connection with the content
Ya I like to picture him down a long gravel driveway
He’s going to move to L.A. and become a irl prank reaction streamer
New place looks great based on the thumbnail.
The homie Destin 😯
Chattanooga, TN is your city. Not too big. Not too small. Fantastic Fiber internet. Mountains and outdoorsy town. 2.5 hrs from Nashville and Birmingham. 2 hrs from Atlanta
Chat is super nice. Halfway between Nashvegas and K town. Not a fan of TN summers, but the food is some of the best in the country.
As someone who is also currently looking at houses, (not nearly the same budget) this was very fun to watch!

The commentary on this video was hilarious. DM should just make a channel critiquing houses for sale.
We are getting older
Your commentary was funny af 10/10

I laughed so hard I cried starting around the middle on. Good lord this is gold.
the giraffe house got me going., XD
Omg you were more HILARIOUS than ever in this one 😂 I'm on the floor laughing!!
This is possibly my favourite video from DM. And I didn’t expect this content at all.
That giraffe house is unreal. 🦒

Very true, I lived in North Fort Worth and the property taxes are very high. Also,all of the roads are tolled...so they make up for the lack of state income tax.
Tennessee is pretty sweet.
Which state is the best to buy houses? I think all states all have sneaky way to tax you.
@@pencilcheck That's a pretty vague question. Alabama has a low property tax and an average home value of 220k. Would you want to live in Alabama?
@@BongRipBing if you can convince me then yea, why? if not then let's move on.
At 7:00, that is an OLD home. It has an OG cooking hearth and that's amazing. It also has what may be kings board, that's astounding.
I thoroughly enjoyed this video more then probably the past 10 vids. I was cracking up too half the video.
Man I love these kinds of videos. I enjoyed every second of it. The humor side of it.. I loved it. More videos like this please. Thank you very much DM

there's a giraffe there, there's a giraffe here, there's a giraffe there, a giraffe there
"Is that the torture basement where you take the people down and chain them up I guess?" 🤣🤣🤣🤣
This is actually much better content than usual. Keep it up my dude :)
This was fun! I would definitely watch more 😅
Love your down to earth reaction to the houses. Feels like we have same sort of values :D
xD this video was absolutely hilarious dude. 6AM Sippin' my coffee watching this. What a laugh :D
I will forever know Fayettville as Fattyville. Thank you for your knowledge DM

You’d like East TN Darth! Look in Knoxville!
I lived in Fairbanks for 7 years. It got into the 90s every single summer. Sub-artic, climate is not the same as actual artic.

DM, 3:20-3:30 is why I am a fan. I couldnt have said it better myself!
Thanks for sending us down the giraffe rabbit hole lol
Dont leave AK, come be my neighbor in Chugiak, AK
3M tint on the windows should be a must. Eastern TN is really nice towards Gatlinburg area.
You should really look into central kentucky, near Lexington Ky or Louisville, you gonna be hard pressed to find a better cost to value to acreage ratio with all amenities nearby, country living, city life etc. Not trying to be a real estate agent but just having seen these searches yeah, all these other places seem totally wack when compared.
This is the most I have laughed at a video in awhile. I hope this one does good numbers for you.
I think the soap dispenser in the bathroom also had a giraffe on it. Yikes.
i literally live 10 min from elizabethton TN where you were looking at those houses LOL
WE NEED MORE OF THESE
This was some of the funniest shit i've seen in a while.
the giraffes 🦒 😂
Still blows me away that you want to fully leave alaska. I'm working up here for a while, and it's absolutely stunning and beautiful
On that last, lime-green house, it looks like a demilitarized zone. And yet I have seen really good renovators turn something like that into something amazing. I'm guessing it would cost a few hundred thousand to do up really nice though, assuming there are no foundation issues.
Dude. I love this video!
It's got character...
It's got characters that have died in there.
MAN I can't contain myself.
I don't know why but I watched the entire video and found it really entertaining 😂 and I only watch D4 videos from you
Now this was entertaining. Need more videos like this!
Remember when owning your own home was an achievable dream and now you have to win the lottery to even afford it. The future is bleak.
This is the best video you've ever made.
The jump scare when DM lands on my small city lol
I live in Tennessee currently, good luck finding anything below 350k around the greater Nashville area.
I always do this when looking at houses. It's 5 minutes looking at houses in my budget and 3 hours at houses 3-5x more than my budget.
Alaska and Maui Hawaii two of the best places I've vacationed. Absolutely beautiful!!
I'm a Kansas country boy born and raised, working on my wife she's Long beach girl. But were for sure moving Cali just aint it
The first castle was insane if i had the money thats what i would buy , the medieval look soo much better then all the other ones
Houston, tx. Just went through hurricane exercise 😮, no electricity for days, trees falling through your roof, flooding.
Great deal.
depends on where you live, I'm in tx now most of the areas I live in are all fine after electricity is back.
Damn, the little home with a torture basement was $350k?!!! Nuts… The market is jacked right now.
My great grandmother's house had giraffes like that one house 🤣 she just loved em and my grandpa didn't mind I guess
he didn't notice Decard Cane's staff by the fire palce!
I'm sooooo excited and happy for you! Best of luck with your house hunt! 💜
At 7:24, DM is appalled by the wallpaper, but look at that floor, it's great.
So is the new home gonna be in Kehjistan or Fractured Peaks?
Congrats DM!!
13:39 That castle better come with an Alfred, that wipes your buttocks after a number 1.
"You have to pay 250 million dollars to live like a $@*&ing Hampster" LOL
House got character? It's got characters that died in it. 😂😂😂 Last house had Michael Myers energy
Your takes on thes homes is so much fun hahaha
Check out mesquite Nevada or Pahrump Nevada
Las Vegas seems a bit to much lol
Check out Vermont, dude. Might be an area you can vibe with.
This video was amazing
