It's been a good 3 years since I moved to Texas from California. I check in on how I've been doing, by popular demand. I talk through hobbies, housing market, job market, food, amongst other things on relocating from Liberal California to Conservative Texas. I've been here since June 2017. Here's my perspective on living in Dallas, Texas!

@OscarGonzalezTheRealOne 2 года назад

So if I understand correctly, the property taxes "go up" because your property gets re-appraised. Not because your taxes go from say 2.8 to 3.0, correct? -- And how does the appraisal work? Can you get your own or does the county/state just automatically do that?

@EdwardInTX 2 года назад

Correct. County does appraisals, and the majority of us protest the values every year. With the housing prices going way up, that definitely affects taxes.

Hope people don't get too upset with the political and idealogical digs from some Texas commenters. I'm also a conservative Texan, but I also appreciate other people's experiences and viewpoints. Most of Texas remains red, but that doesn't mean that there aren't much more liberal areas, such as Austin. I guess my point is that whenever you go, just make sure it's a good fit for your values, whatever they may be. Note to Texans: You might be shocked how many Californians are just as conservative as you are. Don't assume the news tells the whole story about any place.

You mentioned that your electricity was like $50 - $80 a month even in summer in an earlier video. Is it really that cheap when you are blasting the AC during your triple digit summer months? You touched on tornadoes and house damage. Can you share more details on that like has a tornado actually damaged your residence? Can you also discuss your local area property crime rates as in house & car prowlers and how you defend against that? Your topics are informative so keep posting

@EdwardInTX 3 года назад

Good point. My AC bill was $110 last month. I had hail and wind damage in 2018 and had to replace my roof. I ended up paying $2650 out of pocket (1% of house value). Good insurance and 1% deductible is important. Had to fight with the insurance on it for 1 month. I know a friend living in a high hail probability area and got screwed because he had to replace roof 3x in 6 years. I think that's a video idea to make. I bought in a low crime area but I've seen the car prowler issue and I'd recommend them just park in the garage. Keep the cars locked. There are times in good neighborhoods you have young kids opening cars at like 2am just to see what's inside.

Welcome to Texas! If you want to head to another awesome track check out Eagle's Canyon Raceway. Unfortunately you are a little late to run on Texas World Speedway, which was truly a track with history and soul.

Heard great things about that one. Might check it out within the year. I was looking forward to doing that air strip top speed run, but looks like I'll have to wait until they organize another event like that.

Hi Ed, love your personal journey and your success story. I found your videos very helpful as I research and plan to relocate from Los Angeles to DFW - ultimately to retire there in 2 yrs time. Enjoyed your housing vids and your personal take and comparison with CA. I have a request for you for a video discussion on the tornado and flooding issues that are ongoing problems in TX. Are there housing areas more prone or more badly hit? Is it just luck of the draw? What is your experience of that and how do texans deal with the financial fallout and mitigating aspects of the problem? Are there home that are flood resistant or designed to be so? I can imagine that home and car insurance will take a hefty bite from your budget? Any numbers to share? How do you deal with hail damage to your car? I have two sons in your age group who may be joining me in TX. One of them is a manager with EY. If you have insights and tips for state retirees from CA who will live off a fixed pension dealing with higher property tax in TX, I will greatly appreciate. I know there are exemptions and even a freeze on property tax values after 65 - but varies between counties and cities. Hence, choice of location is important. Will love to meet you and explore partnering in some consultancy biz related to real estate appraisal, investment and tax representation when I retire. I plan to have an additional income stream to manage inflation. May I email you? Cheers!

Hey Edward, how does the Asian food from Texas compare to what you had in Cali? People usually say any Asian food you get in Cali/LA is some of the best. If LA Asian food is rated 10, what would you give the Asian food from Dallas Texas area? If you can give opinion specific to Plano area that would be great. (Plano is where I'm planning on moving to within the next couple of years because of the Mitsuwa, H Mart, and Ranch 99 haha)

The real estate tax is based on the value of the home. So if your county appraised value goes up every year, your taxes will too. Denton County has taxes in the 2.3-2.5% range. I moved to Flower Mound Denton Co., to take advantage of the lower tax rate.

As far as hobbies, you should tell people that Texas has a little bit of everything. You may have to drive a bit to get to it, but considering what you're saving on a daily commute, you still come out ahead. Texas has forests in the east, a long coastline, rivers, hills, canyons, deserts, and even a couple of mountains. The states surrounding Texas also have popular attractions. Louisiana has New Orleans. Arkansas has the Ozark mountains and hot springs. Oklahoma and Louisiana have casinos. New Mexico has skiing.

I think you should explore and comment on the diversity here. I am a Texan but my wife is Chinese from Laos (if that makes sense). There are huge shopping centers here for Vietnamese (a TV station too), Chinese, Taiwanese, Japanese, Thai and Vietnamese. (all this also in Houston). There are numerous Buddhist temples open to the public, Chinese college prep schools and different language newspapers. The Indian community has a huge footprint here to, and they brought their food with them (yum). I am probably missing someone but the point is, we all get along. One State, under God, with liberty and justice for all. Lets keep it that way East and West coasters should have a test and revocable permit before moving here, just like hunting or driving. A Texas resident learners permit. You vote liberal and you lose your license and have to return to where ever you came from.

Yes property taxes can increase yearly, but you can always contest the increase at your tax assessor office. You can do it yourself or get a lawyer to do it.
