Selling our house - where would you move? 1

We have no choice but to sell due to other invested parties. Currently live in SoCal. Well have about 200k for a downpayment on a house somewhere after the sale. Top of the list is near Nashville Tennessee. Why? I guess because you can buy a fucking mansion for 500k. I really just a want a place that is cheap, safe, good for kids, minimal taxes, and has some vibrant culture going on...
Any ideas?

The blue ridge area is great. You're not too far off in TN.
No hurricanes, no floods, no earthquakes, no wildfire.
Anywhere from North Georgia to west SC to TN... it's gorgeous out here.
Not too cold, summer can get a bit hot.
the Blue ridge is awesome. pretty big culture scenes in Asheville I've heard.

Ephesians 6:12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Psalm 12:6 The words of the Lord are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times. Hebrews 11:3 Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear. Revelation 3:11 Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown.

NC has been a pleasant surprise. The triangle Area or off the coast near Emerald Isle / Wilmington or near the mountains like Boone / Asheville . I’ve lived in Nashville Tn, PA, NY, CT, and TX and a few other places. NCs been my favorite hands down (inside the US) - At least....in terms of the qualifiers you listed - more or less. The cultures better around the mountains & coasts but I like that the piedmont area is more to the middle literally and figuratively( politically, idealistically, R&D and tech wise, modernity, better jobs & opportunities for upward mobility etc). .
What areas of the country have you scoped out thus far?

The properties in Oklahoma and Arkansas seem to be some of the cheapest in the country from what I can tell browsing on zillow. I've been eyeing them for 3 years lol.

I'd stay at least 25 miles away from any major metropolitan area. I'd look for a modest house with a few acres of land, preferably close to a river or lake.

Awesome suggestions, thanks everyone. I will look into each of these areas and put them on the discussion list.
To answer TBA's question, mainly Tennessee and Nevada, the latter was a consideration because its not too too far from home, but didnt meet some of the criteria for our kid. Tennessee mostly as some other people who are considering moving out of CA alongside us had it on their radar.

Anywhere but the USA.

PM me if you really want a decent convo on it.
I lived in a motorhome and traveled all over America with my young children for three years with the intent of buying property where ever I wanted.
Ended up with five acres of desert land in CO for 2,500k and some desert in AZ for about same amount of land and price.
They are just camp sites for western travels right now.
If you're interested in TN, as someone who owned a home right on the MD/WV line and explored the woods there extensively, I do recommend.
That is where I intend to buy land, somewhere in the backwoods of TN. The more conservative culture/mind your business mindset is very refreshing, the music in that state is phenomenal, you're a six hours drive from all sorts of different climates and landscapes if you need change, NC is your neighbor and Boone, NC has an amazing Christmas in July small down festival... and lots of moonshine and christmas trees for sale.
Ah. I'm in lala land. But seriously, if you got 200k... www.landwatch.com buy a cheap land plot with acreage... live in a motorhome while you develop it to however you deem fit.
Don't buy something pre-made, make what you want and take your time. Its such a fun process.

well the wife doesnt want to leave the state of CA and has already found about 20 things to hate about Nashville. I thought it would be cool. But whatever well save it for couples therapy. Dont know how we are going to afford it here without moving to some hills have eyes desertland. New goal is to raise 150k in the next 6 months for a downpayment towards a mortgage (that I wont be able to afford hehe).. So far set aside all the easy cash which is about 3k.
147 to go hahahah hahahahaha

I mean, how are you raising 150k in 6 months but still can't afford a mortgage? I know CA is expensive as shit, but if you can get that kind of cash in 6 months, you can be into 7 figure properties.
