The worst part about TX is the high property tax. There is no income tax so they have to get their money from some source. The property tax is a little over 2%. We had a $270,000 home on a golf course and paid $6000 property tax.

That is about $2000 higher than it would be here. Add the $5000 for the unlimited golf for 2 package and SCRX does not look like a real bargain. That $7000 a year is enough to finance a mortgage of $130000. So if you played golf and wanted to purchase a $175,000 home in SCTX, for the same outlay you could purchase a 305,000 home in TV where the sale of new homes is booming, not stagnant.
