With that said, I think I can sell my house now for $850k and take the proceeds of $500k and buy up acreage and build a home in Texas. Having never been there, I have no idea what’s good and what’s not. I’m kind of drawn to the area between Waco and Dallas/Ft worth because I think the economy is decently strong in that area.
But I’ve also looked at Abilene, Lubbock, and Amarillo. I prefer less desert areas, so Dallas wins there, but really what I’m looking for is flat, 10 to 20 acres, within an hour of moderate metro, trees and water.
I’d like to grow a lot of my own food because I think there’s some shit in the works that’s going to make getting a decent meal harder and harder to get.

Nice. Sounds like you've got a plan! When I sold and relocated from UT i was heavily considering Texas. I ended up deciding against it bc there's just too many fucking people over there. I picked a small town in WY instead. I'm still not quite to the homesteading part yet...but at least I own it and avoided a mortgage.
