So the work I do is 100% remote now. I moved to Southern California because of an industry that has in part moved to remote work. My only requirements are a temperate climate, nature access and hopefully a blue-ish state. Is there a place out there that makes sense financially? I’m hoping to buy a house less then 500k. I don’t need access to large cities as I honestly don’t do anything. The only requirement I can think of is access to solid internet as I stream full screen video for what I do.

I’m currently looking at Michigan and Virginia as options.

For fully remote anywhere in the midwest is good as long as you don't need the big city nightlife. You can buy a starter house in the rich parts of KC for 500k, or a nice house in the middle-class areas.

KC isn’t really blue-ish state wise. Missouri is full on MAGA and Kansas has a dem governor but is full on MAGA otherwise. And Kansas will have a republican governor in 2027 when governor Kelly’s term is up.

KC is an excellent city! It's cheap with fiber nearly everywhere, great food, friendly people, and the best BBQ.

There's also a ton of outdoors stuff from hiking, kayaking, hunting, fishing. It's not hard to find a house on a chunk of land and still be 10min away from everything.
