Try our ASIAN salad, I am missing something?:1orglaugh

for 500k you can go about 20 miles east of Dallas and get something in the 5k square foot range on an acre or more on a lake front

Wow, that's a beautiful house for the price, you can't beat that for the location.

Yeah but Dallas sucks hairy balls :2 cents:

Damn you can barely get a decent studio apartment for that in miami beach.

The best buys are just outside small/midsize towns. This house is 6600 sq ft high finish on two acres in horse country close to Lexington, Ky. If you work from home this is a steal. $450,000.

Very beautiful, but high maintenance property, and in a rural area :)

The other one is in a wealthy suburb north of Dallas, it doesn't require a full-time gardener, it's convenient and you have access to Dallas area jobs and high tech infrastructure.

Good points, but if you work from home and want privacy, I am not a neighbor kind of guy, the country is the way to go.

As far as maintence, I have a mower like the one pictured, it does 5 acres an hour with a great finish. :2 cents:
