RGV (Rio Grande Valley, TX) is excellent. Highly affordable. I save a lot here and don't miss anything.
Opportunities open themselves up as well. You can get a really nice homes here: https://www.zillow.com/mcallen-tx/ + hit "remove boundary". You could snap up houses here and rent em. Buy one. This is a market where I could see it growing in the next 5-10 years with more remote work.
Dallas, Houston, and Austin were all viable opportunities but the cost just didn't have the value. Harlingen / Brownsville / McAllen, if you google it, often come up dead first for cheapest cities.
That said, it's way out there. TX is super big. This is 2.5+ hours away from Corpus Christi, 5 hours away from Houston. It makes flying a pain. So it doesn't fit a lifestyle where you need to bounce around a lot. So I highly doubt the prices will fluctuate much, but a lot of TX is like that.
And the SpaceX Starship place is near us (Boca Chica, TX)
