I don’t know why I’m watching this when I live in Dallas
LOL
😂🤣
Same
LOL
I got family over there trying to convince my ppl to move there too. I’m in Louisiana and the opportunities here are awful
I just moved to Dallas June 28 by myself just moved and best decision I made so far I’m 23 💯
That's awesome! Where did you move from?
@@VIPRealty Illinois
is there jobs out there man? I’m 23 as well looking to move out there next year
@@shiftautomotive854 yea lots of jobs and they call you back the next day some call your that day
@@pjayers3484 what u do for work if u don’t mind me asking
I lived in chicago all my life but i made the move to Dallas in august. I love it so far. People are way nicer
That's great. I go to Chicago several times a year and I like Chicago. However, I'd never live there. Texas is the best place to be.
Thank you for saying this. I am from chicago born in raised in the city. And I just want to be somewhere that I can buy a cheaper house. I love Chicago but its not the same city from when I was younger. But I am considering the move..
How is healthcare system in Dallas? Is it hot and humid or hot and dry ? Thank you
@@FS-fn8rf Hot and humid, but only a couple of months out of the year.
@@Lovefamilyabundance You too? Lived here all my life and I'm so done with Chicago. Toyed with moving to Dallas for years and this is this right year.
Lived in Dallas my whole life and the part of how spread out everything is, is spot ON! There’s been so many times where I’ve driven for over an hour, and I’m still in Dallas County lol
And still in "DRY" county ??
lol I noticed that the last time I visited up there.
I love Dallas
i guess Im asking randomly but does any of you know a method to log back into an instagram account??
I was dumb forgot my account password. I would appreciate any tricks you can give me!
@Marc Harry instablaster ;)
The construction part is no joke. Roads are consistently being rebuilt and expanded.
Seriously! 635 construction will never end and 35 heading south of downtown for a solid 10 miles straight is nonstop construction.
Screw those tolls
And it take a decade to complete yeehaw!
@@gtotheunit91 Fr I hate these highway changes ughhh
I rather be hot then to be cold 80% of the year, ugh tired of the East Coast 🙃
True!!
Kat find a way. I think you would like it here. It is hot as hell in summer but rest of year is perfecto. Mr Vega is correct you have to have a 🚗 the Metroplex is HUGE. He hones in on Dallas but Ft Worth and all suburbs are also great. The absolute center of the universe is Grapevine,TX. You will see it on Google Earth is 5 miles from DFW International Airport. Good luck!
I don’t mind the cold as much as the snow. No snow for me lol.
I don’t mind the cold I’m just sick of the northeast for other reasons lol
Move to Florida or California then, Dallas is actually quite flat and boring
One thing not mentioned: Dallas is quite a lux city. Clothes shopping on the level of NYC or LA. Ferrari, Rolls Royce, etc. on the street is a common sight with all the highest-end car dealerships present in the city. Food choices are endless. Etc.
Is Austin like that too?
Very true, great points!
@@danashearer2241 they are more down to earth unlike Dallas where Bentleys are an every day sight.
Houston has more food choices.
Shhhh, don't tell everyone else
Trust me dude, our Dallas traffic is nowhere near as brutal as LA's. Those highways routinely make people contemplate suicide. I've lived in both cities, so I'm in a position to know. You're right about the public transpo and the toll roads, though. Both suck big time in Dallas.
Ive been in LA traffic many time. You're right, its TERRIBLE!! lol
Doesn’t public transport in the whole of Texas suck though and most of America? Go to Europe or Singapore, Dubai for better public transport.
If i can I avoid going to LA , traffic puts me in the worse mood and the people pretty much have no regard for life driving!
LOL!
Try Miami traffic compacted and sub par pubic transportation.
I so admire your honesty and of course the real estate expertise! Please keep posting videos and sharing such informative updates that are so useful! Sending Blessings to you, your children and wishing you prosperity. Leanne
Dude, looking to make that move as well. I just wanted to say: great video and there's a level of sincerity coming through... much appreciated.
Thank you!
Did you move ? Looking to move myself
It may get really hot in the summer and a little unpredictable in the winter, but at least it's sunny for a good chunk of the year in Dallas. Winter in the Midwest is its own special kind of depression.
Id rather be hot, than cold :)
Frrrrrrr I'm from Ohio and have been living in Dallas for 4 years now never in my life have I experienced so much sunshine consistently. I LOVE IT
@@MarissaLenea Hey! I’m also from Ohio and considering moving to Texas I’m torn between Dallas and Houston. Have you really enjoyed Dallas? Are there many young people there?
Try for 10 months/year; Winter, in Dallas, means 4-8 weeks (from the end of December through the end of February) with temperatures between 30-50 degrees Fahrenheit, and overcast skies/conditions!!
@@Mimiscellaneous if I were you, I'd be choosing to move, either, to New York, or, if you must have warm/hot (and dry) weather conditions for 10 months/year, Los Angeles; but then, I don't know what you can afford!
Went to Dallas this year. People are a lot nicer and the city is way cleaner compared to NYC or LA
Wow, never thought that there is so much hospitality in Texas. The last point really impressed me. Thats a big point for Texas.
Its great when you can be around good / like minded people.
Man, this is really great and informative. Thanks for this
Thank you
In my opinion, the weakest link with your analysis is that you haven't lived anywhere else. So when you complain about the weather or the traffic or the need for a car ....try out places like LA, Chicago, NY and Toronto and compare. Dallas is a very well balanced package!
True, However I travel a lot. I spend a lot of time in LA and Chicago very year. You're right Dallas isn't as bad. However, its still bad.
Loving the intro music. Vibes!
I love this kind of content idea! It always show's the transparency of someone which is a huge plus to clients. Keep it up!
Thank you!
Love the video!! Very insightful. Moving to Texas soon and choosing between Austin and Dallas. Dallas is for sure winning! The thought of it being more diverse and accepting is awesome to hear. Thank you!
Both cities are great. However, I'd choose Dallas.
Austin!! I moved here from Chicago and I regret that decision. Most of the people are literally trash just like in south side of Chicago.
Great! I like your analysis man. Good points to considere to make a decision wheather or not go there
Any Californians watching this? Or from Los Angeles? Housing sucks here , this video is helpful 👍
Thank you. We've assisted A LOT of Californians this year!!
LA's failed policies are the reason housing is so unaffordable there.
Southern California, Los Angeles county here. I’ve lived here my whole life and I’m thinking of moving because I hate California
yes trying to rent my own apartment is soo expensive literally atleast 1800 who can afford that?
EXTREMELY helpful video! Thank you so much!!!👍
You're welcome.
Thanks for the info, its great!
I lived in downtown Dallas, Tx for about 1 year when I was in my early 20s..... (2022)..... now I'm 44..... 🤗
I love downtown Dallas.
Looking into transferring my job down that way. Thanks for the informative video.
You're welcome
Loved this video, so true!
Thanks so much!
Loved how you went over that, thnx man!
Thank you.
Moving to Dallas from northern NJ in a week ! Super nervous but excited , thanks for the great video
Awesome! What part of Dallas are you moving to?
Hey I’m from Newark looking into Dallas TX
OMG! I'm watching this and I live in central Jersey and hoping to move to Texas.
I’m from nyc and move to Dallas for the past 6 month to see if I’d like it. I love it! Move you won’t regret
@@mard7880 That's great!!
Awesome content Mr. Soto...God Bless! :)
Thank you!
Absolutely love Texas, was just there , thinking about moving. Good info 👍
Thank you. Move on down to Texas. We have plenty of room.
Really hoping to move to Dallas... thanks for the videos. Will definitely consider buying a home.
You'll love it here!
Watching this video because I'm moving from Denver to Dallas in the next month. The weather and traffic does not scare me. Colorado has pretty bipolar weather. We've been having construction since forever ago. I'm excited though
That's great. You'll enjoy it here in Dallas
Toll roads in the Freedom loving Great state of Texas should've never been allowed to happen..
I live in Austin and YES I noticed that the last time I was in Dallas, CONSTRUCTION EVERYWHERE! As well as everything is so spread out!
Dallas is growing. I love Austin. However, the traffic is horrible there too.
The reason that I want to move to Dallas is for more opportunities. I got MS degree in IT and I can't find work with no experience here in CA. My promised to you is that I'll vote red for life when I move to Dallas.
You'll have plenty of career opportunities in Dallas!
Haha love it...you’ll vote red. I’m afraid Dallas has already been overtaken by liberals and Democrats. Fort Worth, TX is the only Republican city left and McKinney.
TECH in Austin is huge. Good luck to you.
Any room for those voting yellow(libertarian)?
Great vid homie. I'm from Oak Cliff. I would recomend to folks moving here to live/rent close to Dart light rail. Yes, the raìl is very reliable, but the Dart buses, not so much.
For attractions, check out reunion tower, JFK exibit, Ft. Worth stockyards, Ft. Worth zoo, Ft. Worth water gardens and definitely State fair of Texas.
Yeah, if your job requires you have to take a toll road to work, expect your toll bill can be $50 - $100 per month.
Dress appropiately for the summers in Dallas. I used to walk 20 mins to the light rail, and be sweating profusely before 7 am
All great points! Thank you for your insight.
This is MY CITY! I just love it here!!!!!
I am right in the middle of everything with adventures it has to offer :)
Fashion Dallas and Fast n Furious Dallas!!
Where you have to get to will take you time so buckle up and let’s go go go!!!
You will never be bored here :)
Been here most of my life it gets boring.
Ghostsniperable can u elaborate?
💯
You are so right. Lived here 64 years minus 4 years Military . love it here.
Gotta Love Dallas, Texas!!
@@VIPRealty yes sir.
Thanks so much.looking forward to the opportunities
Thank you for watching.
Thanks for this. I think there are more cons than pros but geez the houses are lovely and affordable which doesn’t exist anymore
Very detailed! Thank you.
Thank you.
Looking at making this move with my family from Australia. This was a great video.
Thank you
I'm from Dallas, In 2012 I went to Perth when in the Navy. Loved it.
Get out of Australia immediately! I am scared of what Australia will do next to their citizens if they feel a new deadly strain of covid breaks out.
I'm trying to move to Australia too 😆
I just visited Dallas and they are so friendly
That's great! Most Texan's are friendly.
great video - thanks for making it.
Thank you William
At 10:55 is good ole Baton Rouge, LA traffic. I live in BR and was watching this video and couldn't help but notice the infamous bridge traffic of BR.
I would love a small (600-900 sq ft home) in Fort Worth “safe” area with a garage, little yard (a spot for a camper). Hope I will find the one when it’s time.
There are small two bedroom homes available depending on the area.
I'm watching this from Toronto... and Dallas sounds like an affordable version of our city with warmer weather.
For sure! Cost of living is very affordable compared to Toronto. As mush as I can't the heat during the summer, I'd prefer it over the freezing cold. lol
Three years ago, I flew from Rio de Janeiro to Dallas, my city, it was around March. I had a layover in Toronto. It was the night before my friends wedding. I left Brazil, wearing a tank top. Nine hours later, i arrived in Toronto, and in March, it was too cold for me to go to the airport parking garage and smoke a cigarette.
BTW, the Toronto airport was the first time I saw a 7-eleven in the six months that I left Dallas for Brasil. I bought a huge coffee.
Lived in NYC all my life, born and raised and never been to Texas or the mid west or the west coast period but I'm definitely considering Dallas or Austin
I think you'll enjoy living here. There's a lot to like.
I’m from Mississippi moved to Chicago when I was young & now I feel the need to go back down south.. I’m just so nervous because I hear how hot it is & there’s nothing I hate more than heat 🥵🥵
I hear you! I can't stand the heat. However, it's waaaaaay better than those Chicago winters lol. Also, I'd say 40 days or so out of the summer are super hot. Which isn't bad, unless you work outdoors.
Thank you for the honesty! I'm also in Real-estate and looking at relocating to Dallas by the end of '23/ early '24.
Dallas Texas is a great city to work and live.
I’m doing the exact same thing
@@VIPRealty , how easy/ difficult is it to obtain a broker license for foreigners?
@@Officialhunnib , all the best Autumn. I'm sure you will do well
@@soldwithKiranSingh You can do everything online. You'll just need to take the actual text in person.
The worst part is the heat? Wow! Try living the London, Where we see the Sun 2 weeks max (summer) I absolutely love the sun. Great video and extremely informative. Thank you Sir 🙏🏻❤️
Thank you. You're right, I'd rather see the sun on a daily basis :)
Try living in the North West of England mate, we come to London for the good weather...😂
@@GarethSewell1982 lol 😂 I take your word for it 🤣🤣🤣
Phoenix az has 300 days of sunshine
Great video will be calling you soon
Sounds good
Great video . Greetings from London 🇬🇧
Thank you. When is the best time to travel to London?
Keep in touch 😂 I maybe moving to Dallas in the future.
Sounds good!
Don't
@@20001mexico 😆😆 ok. I won't! Lol
My best one pros is the real state, I think the house are huge, located in wonderful landscapes, and cheaper than other States
I completely agree.
Great video man god bless u and hope your father doing better 🙏
Thank you
@@VIPRealty u welcome
Right On Brother, Big Apple Cat here, 42 year Cowboys fan, thinking about moving to buy season tickets every year bro !!!
Bro don't waste your money. LOL
Great video man!
Appreciate it!
great video quality
Thanks!
Yea Dallas is a dope state i just left there celebrating my anniversary really considering moving there in the future
Dallas is a great place to call home. Great economy, wonderful people and the cost of living is still fairly low.
I live in Dallas but I watched the video just to see what the popular opinions are about Dallas, both positive and negative
Thank you
You're welcome
I love Dallas. I was there for 3 weeks for a job training and the traffic compared to Southern California is not bad at all. And it's not crowded like SoCal.
Definitely less traffic than SoCal
Thank you for this video I’m relocating pretty soon from Boston you just fired me up I’m excited lol but Boston traffic is about the same.
You'll love Dallas. However, the traffic during rush hour is a pain
@@VIPRealty when’s rush hr?
@@TheNaynay91 Dallas's rush hour is about 7-9am and 4:30-6:30
I moved to Dallas in 2000 from Chicago not knowing one person. 2021 I am still here. It's been a great town to live in. Getting a little crowded now but that's growth.
Hi @tim n, which area within Dallas is a good area to move into?
@@heyitsgee It really depends on where you work. The big growth now is Frisco/Far North Dallas. If your young and single Uptown is good place to start. It's right by downtown just to the north.
@@TT-by7tv thanks for this!
I'm from Brazil planning my move to Frisco Texas by next year !! Can't wait !!!
You’ll love it
welcome...get ready for high taxs
That's awesome. Here is a video on Frisco, Texas czcams.com/video/67cIgJQTY24/video.html
@@IrenaEzeala i doubt its higher than brasil haha
Oi Yuri você vai gostar da Frisco,TX só que quando for comprar casa os impostos school é property como falamos custam olho da cara. Seja bem-vindo no TX!🇧🇷
Chicago weather is like that every month. Lol Thanks for the video, I thought it was very helpful.
Chicago is one of my favorite cites. Just not during the winter.
I live in Chicago too. I hate the cold weather. I'm in my way to Dallas! Let's meet there lol !
Hi there! Love this video. Can you suggest some upscale yet affordable areas weather in the city or suburbs to start getting an idea of housing? Thank you so much!
Absolutely! Send us an email and we'll get you a list asap. info@viprealtyinfo.com
When I lived in Irving Texas a suburb in dallas southern hospitality was definitely a thing but I feel like parents weren’t the best about passing it on to their kids because I knew a lot of mean kids at my school in Irving.
Unfortunately, I think that's an issue everywhere.
IM LITERALLY MOVING TO DALLAS TEXAS FEBRUARY 2022 & ITS THE BIGGEST MOVE IN MY LIFE. IVE NEVER BEEN TO TEXAS AND COMING FROM ARIZONA IT SHOULDN'T BE SO HOT PLUS ARIZONA REAL ESTATE MARKET IS OUT THE ROOF ! I BELIEVE IN TEXAS IM GOING TO MAKE A GREAT LIVING ‼️
I think you'll love living in Texas!
How’s it been out there?
I can relate so much on the weather thing hahah
The heat definitely is a make it or break it. Expect it to be around 96°F with 60% humidity from June through September. So you better make sure your car has iced cold A/C!
YES!
Facts that heat will drain your energy.
August is the worse 🥵🥵
I have POTS so I'm constantly cold. The heat sounds like a pro to me xD
I don’t know why I watching and I’m British
LOL.
Thank you for this! I’m looking to make that transition soon.
Great!! Let us know if we can assist you.
Thank you very much for sharing this video today. I’m looking for a career change in Dallas, a New Start ups and taken my career to the next level 🆙 ⬆️ oh Yes DFW airport for traveling and attractions 🤩 🧳 ✈️ and Real estate 🏡 🔑
That's Great!!
Nice video. I see dallas as an option to grow in my career as a physician assistant.
Absolutely. Dallas is growing and has an awesome health industry.
Oh cool, I'm gonna be a nurse practitioner I wonder if they pay good there.
Great video
Thank you.
Any video Nevada vs Dallas ? :) Great video :)
I live in SF Bay area I might move when I retire and sell my house, contemplating moving to the DALLAS or San Antonio area, I keep hearing people are very friendly, am Latino and with a personality. I hope when I retire in 8 years still affordable.
Most people are very friendly in Texas. However, not sure how affordable it will be in 8 years.
It may not be...As West coast States, CA, WA, getting insane expensive year after year despite Covid pandemic effect !!, ( housing prices are still insane in Seattle and not even nice looking ones!), people will seek out to move further east, or southeast where ever they can afford to live and then push up prices...
@@kumral76 That's right. Texas home prices are going UP UP UP.
This is a great video, thanks for the info, planning to visit soon. Any suggestions on how to start a business in Dallas? perhaps a food business (small restaurant). Coming from NYC, looking at city options now. Thanks!
Not sure about the restaurant business. However, like with any other business I know location is key. What type of restaurant are you wanting to start?
@@VIPRealty Thanks for the quick reply. Probably italian (tbd :)...), are locals welcoming all kind of world cuisines? I know some cities are very very attached to their roots ...but since you mention a lot of people have moved to the city, it seems like an option
@@alexandrag679 Absolutely! Dallas residents love to go out to eat and we like plenty of options.
Dallas has crazy weather no doubt, but compared to New England or the midwest, Dallas weather is overall pretty stable and predictable.
Compared to the UK Dallas weather is less variable, always warm and dry, though it does rain a lot during November to January.
Dallas can be very hot and humid during the summer, but it can be chilly to cold during the winter.
This was great and the cons sound a lot like living in Boston, esp. the bi-polar weather!!! LOL!
Love it
Great vid. ! Can you mention a few best for single families ? Best school rep things like that ? Single mom nervous for this huge leap from nj 😬😬😬
Thank you! What area of DFW will you be working in?
Relocating to Dallas from Niagara Falls, Ontario, Canada! Excited but nervous!
Don't be nervous. Dallas is a great city and I'm sure the weather will be nicer.
You going down there for work??
"The first con is traffic"
Coming from Austin, Dallas' traffic might as well be a miracle
True. 35 through downtown Austin is a nightmare.
Have you ever seen Houston traffic that's worse than Dallas and Austin combined!
I’m from kansas city the weather is very variable as well. It’s like Dallas but colder.
How are the summers?
@@VIPRealty 90s and humid is pretty common. Severe thunderstorms happen in spring and summer too. The winters are the most variable part of the year. We could have days in january it’s sunny and in the 50s and other days it’s windy and drops into the single digits.
I lived in Plano from 80 to 93 and construction was everywhere even back then, but at least there were no toll roads yet and lots of good country back road shortcuts. The heat was fine for the first 5 years but when I hit about 27 and bought my first home, the heat started wearing on me, it was best to stay indoors or go shopping in an air conditioned mall. Would I ever move back? Probably not, it's way too crowded now, I went back in 2014 and barely recognized the place! Even so, people there were always friendly, more so than anywhere else that I lived. l have good memories from working there (TI) and living down there.
Plano is great and so are the people who live there. Did you watch our Plano video czcams.com/video/BPVNrOUogrw/video.html
You moved at the PERFECT time, it’s absolutely horrible now
@@alexmurphy5289 Why? because of all the traffic or just too much ongoing construction? ... it's sort of always been that way. I75 was 2 lanes in the early part of the 80s but was always under construction the whole 13 years I lived there. Someone mentioned California is worse and I'd have to agree.
i never heard weather can be so changeable like here in Seattle, WA !!! :) WOW! but it' s ALOT cheaper, and people seem alot friendlier, so i 'll be making a visit, and moving soon , outta here Seatle!
I think you'll enjoy living in Texas. Do you have an area in mind?
@@VIPRealty I'd like to be near downtown area but not too close, maybe Plano, Carrollton.
@@kumral76 both cities are great. Plano has better schools. Carrollton is more central.
Yeah weather is crazy
Summers are very hot, winters can sometimes be very cold.
Planning to move from TN and trying to decide between Plano and Dallas! Helpful video!
Plano is great too. We just did a video on the best areas in Plano.
Plano
Connecticut has bipolar weather but it’s freezing and we get blizzards
Id rather have the heat. lol
You are my best
I've been working in the Dallas area for a little while. The highway system is good, had an adjustment period for myself. There is a small population of bad driver's, speeders and road hogs, but you would find that anywhere in America. Big City so far I haven't gone everywhere. The people seem to be friendly. I'll update as I go.
Glad to hear you're enjoying Dallas
Nice! I will most likely be moving there soon die to work leaving CA. I got an offer that I should take up. Im a bit bummed about the heat and leaving the nature/camping that I have here in CA. What places would you recommend to look for an apartment? I wouldn’t mind commuting a bit. Job would be located by Mountain creek lake.
@@josec1538 I'm from NY so I don't know myself. lol Real Estate agents can't tell you if an area is good or not, so be cautious what you look at.
@@josec1538 Im visiting our San Diego office now. You're going to miss the weather and landscape. However, there's going to be sooo much you'll love about Texas.
Apt depends on distance/location and amenities.
I think you should say that from I20 and I35 to 75 and 635 is only 31 miles via no tolls. And via tollway from I20 and I35 is only 2 more miles, why pay toll ways. You should give the option of traceling via toll ways or interstate roads. I moved up here 40 years ago and I don't drive on toll ways. It is a waist of money.
I’m a native Texan I live In South Carolina now I lived in wills point Texas and Dallas and Greenville Texas I wish my family had never moved from Texas my late dad was from South Carolina my mom was from Texas my dad was a Baptist preacher so we moved around some I really really miss Texas and the friendly Texas people I hope to move back to Texas one day Dallas is a very nice town home to big Tex and the Dallas Cowboys
Hope you find your way back to Texas! Big Tex, it's almost that time of the year.
Thinking of moving to Dallas ❤️
Great! Do you have an area in mind?
@@VIPRealty Dallas and Austin at the moment
@@anacervantes1981 Both are great cities.
One month in Dallas now coming from central Jersey😃
What part are you moving to?
Great video
You're awesome 👍
That's true about real estate specially you live in California and move here it's way cheaper.
Thank you!
Im looking forward to move to Dallas, I’m from Montreal, 🇨🇦 with my family of two kids
You'll Love Dallas!
