    Where to move if you have $500,000

    If you have about $500,000 to buy a home and the "stuff" you need to live - and you have about $3,000/month income - what would be a good place to move?

    It has to be relatively safe and clean. Not too hot, but nice climate most of the year AND - good, fresh and "cheap" food. The kind where you can go to the boats and get fish that is just a few hours old....

    If the women looks good, that is not a negative

          I see that you live in Texas... That was actually one of my childhood dreams. Move to Texas, get a ranch, be a cowboy and play music with Charlie Daniels

                  Australia. Best climate in the world, safe, clean, democratic, friendly and one of the best health systems in the world. For $500,000 you can buy a house close to a University, live downstairs and rent out 4 rooms upstairs at $150 per week which will give you an extra $2,400 a week on top of that $3,000.

                    And if I recall they are making porn illegal. so if you work in this industry you might want to think twice about that option.

                      I kind of like Poland. I have been there twice, just as a tourist. Food is cheap and good, women are beautiful, but.... Most of the places I have seen is kind of depressing. Gray and a bit dirty. Warsaw center was nice. Stayed at a hotel next door to the president palace. Good place. Krakow was also nice. A lot of history in Poland. And a lot of men with mustaches But... winters can be HARD there!

                              Good suggestion!! I like Australians, mate!

                              In general - a nice and medium big house in the suburbs of Sidney or Canberra - How much, approx., would that cost? USD500k would be enough?

                                    San Diego , but hurry before the home prices go up.

                                    Baja California can be fun.

                                      Take my advice and stay out of Sydney unless you like Muslims.
                                      Canberra is the capitol and beautiful, but very cold. I would recommend Perth or Brisbane.
                                      Brisbane is the best, next to the Gold Coast and North Coast tourist areas and probably the safest city in Australia. A house can go from around 300,000 upwards. I would suggest a good brick two level that will cost just under the 500,000. But keep in mind the Aussie dollar is volatile. Right now its too high, but when it drops it goes freefall and you can turn that 500,000 into 800,000 and buy two houses.

                                            Thank you! Making a note about this. I have been thinking about moving for a year or so, but got to make sure that the place where I finally settle, is the right place.

                                            Will book a holiday trip and visit Brisbane sometime in feb.- march. Visit first and see and "feel" the place

                                                1 Vienna Austria 108.6
                                                2 Zürich Switzerland 108
                                                3 Geneva Switzerland 107.9
                                                4 Vancouver Canada 107.4
                                                5 Auckland New Zealand 107.4
                                                6 Düsseldorf Germany 107.2
                                                7 Frankfurt Germany 107
                                                8 Munich Germany 107
                                                9 Bern Switzerland 106.5
                                                10 Sydney Australia 106.3

                                                But if you can handle living in a warm climate close to jungle or on an Island I myself would choose Costa Rica or Curacao

                                                Good luck and hope you find YOUR spot ;-)

                                                  Will book a holiday trip and visit Brisbane sometime in feb.- march. Visit first and see and "feel" the place
                                                  Recommend you stay in Lennons Hotel in the Queens st mall. Its the centre of the city. While there, take a day trip down up to Steve Irwins Australia zoo. Also take a trip to Movie World, Dream World and Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary. Then get on a bus and head inland to Stanthorpe to see the REAL australia. Stay overnight and back to Brisbane the next morning.

                                                    you have $500,000 cash and only a $3,000 a month income?

                                                    guess that would be pretty typical for an adult webmaster these days
                                                    I moved my sites to Vacares Hosting. I've saved money, my hair is thicker, lost some weight too! Thanks Sly!

                                                      36k annual income ... thats not going to get you far at all here in the states.

                                                      Your best plan is to rent. You do not have the money to have a home at this time. Even without a mortgage payment if you blew $500k on the house the upkeep, taxes, utilities would far outweigh the $3k. If your $3k is your top end revenue, plan on loosing 50% over time with a downturn ... then you are truly hosed.

                                                      Rent a place and work towards a MINIMUM of $6k a month post taxes ... bank the interest on the 500k for a few years.

                                                              But with 500K$ you wouldn't get that far :-(

Loveliest women and very broad minded, great cost of living and for $500,000 you can get a nice house and have a nice chunk of change left over. You can come and live near me.

                                                                          really nice houses go for $300-$400k, you can buy a small mansion for $500k. property taxes in most areas are inexpensive. I really like it because its CLEAN and there is a good amount of things to do, plus the night life scene is pretty cool too.

                                                                          Yeah its the north east, but you are 1 to 1.5 hours from philly, 2.5 from NYC and 2.5 from DC.

                                                                            It has to be relatively safe and clean. Not too hot, but nice climate most of the year AND - good, fresh and "cheap" food. The kind where you can go to the boats and get fish that is just a few hours old....

                                                                            If the women looks good, that is not a negative

                                                                            Originally posted by Mutt

You never know where people with little montly income get their "lump sums" from, but in most cases it isn't from savings, obviously. They likely just came into money from other sources like a lawsuit or inheritance etc , in most cases at least.

                                                                            states with no state taxes usually rape you somewhere else like prop taxes or state sales taxes. If they don't get it from one source they typically make up for it in others.

                                                                            Also, in his situation, on 36K a year, the no state income taxes really wouldn't save him that much. If he is buying a 500K house he needs to focus on a location with lower prop taxes not so much worried about state income taxes.

You can buy a beautiful ~4000sq. ft. house for around $350k (where I live, in North Austin) in fantastic neighborhoods with excellent schools, and with very low property taxes.

                                                                                        Your best plan is to rent. You do not have the money to have a home at this time. Even without a mortgage payment if you blew $500k on the house the upkeep, taxes, utilities would far outweigh the $3k. If your $3k is your top end revenue, plan on loosing 50% over time with a downturn ... then you are truly hosed.

                                                                                        Rent a place and work towards a MINIMUM of $6k a month post taxes ... bank the interest on the 500k for a few years.
                                                                                        upkeep on a 500K house that is in decent shape? i lived in a house for over 10 years - the landlord put ZERO into upkeep until he was ready to sell, did roof repair and a new fence and patio for the yard. if something major needed done he's got 500K equity to borrow against.

                                                                                        taxes at most 500 a month, utilities 500 a month - the house is paid for, there are tons of older people living in homes bought in the 60's paid off long ago with fixed retirement income of 3K per month.

                                                                                        bank the interest for a few years? at 3%? that ain't gonna do much for him.

You can get an amazing house for a decent price near the beach and surrounded by nature. Most locals speak English and are educated (and wouldn't you know it they are NICE) and they all take dollars its very practical...

You can buy a gorgeous piece of property for alot less than $500k. There are many beautiful large lakes. You get four seasons. You get show in the winter, but it is not bone chilling cold like the Great Plains.

Good food and wine. Not so much hot women, but... I am married, so I guess that is enought :D Czech Republic, I have just been to Prague and Kutna Hora. Prague is awesome. My wife say she would like to live in Prague.

                                                                                                  Costa Rica looks and sounds like a prefect place for me, but my wife is not so sure...
