I want to buy 2-3 homes. Where should I look?

I'm a bay area native and I love living here, but I can't justify spending 1.5 - 2M on a single house, even though I can afford it. I would rather live in 2-3 homes over the course of the year, chasing warm weather and avoiding snow/rain. I'm looking for ideas and places in the US and abroad to research so I'd love to hear from you Blinders. I'm looking for: Warm to moderate climate (no lengthy rain or snow seasons) Outside of a natural disaster zone (floods/tornadoes) 3+ bedrooms Large lots (1 acre+) Close to an airport (within 1 hour drive) Close Proximity to a city (within 1 hour drive) 400k USD max per home. TC: personal 330k, household 650k YOE: personal 13, household 25

First place to look is in your dreams

I already have a short list of examples that fit my criteria, I'm just looking for other places I haven't considered /thought of.

Honestly a mobile home might work perfect for you if you donā€™t have dependents

seattle outskirts, where...

Amazon wiBb08 Jan 3, 2022

Since your budget is 400k, you can buy a condo in seattle outskirts in that area. Not a lavish condo though

Northern Florida west of Jacksonville and Tennessee for summer. Zero state income tax for both. Flying optional.

But both have property taxes? It seems like he can ignore income taxes and look for properties in states with little or no property taxes. Or am I wrong about this? šŸ˜¬

When I lived in FL, this region was famous for cheap properties due to the high chance of sinkholes. Has something drastically changed? Or are people just buying there anyway?

Honestly, you should invest in an RV! That way you can live and work where your heart takes you.
