All,
I thank you all for the great advice. This is obviously a big decision and a lot is riding on it. That is why I came to you all for help.
We focused on Tampa, Daytona, and Nashville because I had visited all of those places and have some familiarity. I’ve considered New Hampshire, Florida, and Tennessee so far. I’m looking for a red state or at least a red-trending purple state I can help help push over the line to red. I want freedom and strongly prefer no income tax states. And 4 seasons would be nice, but not necessary.

Lancaster, Chester, York County, SC. Lotta of growth, close to Charlotte, several lakes, a few hours from the beach.
If you get rural property, the property taxes are dirt cheap.
