I highly recommend everyone move to Tennessee. That’s because I want Kentucky all to myself 😂.
Lol completely understandable!
Save one spot for me , I'm a southern guy running from the migration to Eastern nc . There are too many people coming here we want out. I'm even gonna bring my southern horses 🐎
@@msanford75 there is still plenty of room here. Best kept secret in America
@generalstack6540 keep it that way. We are running from people. Lol
I counter and recommend Kentucky, because all the Liberals are ruining TN and I want to stop it. BTW, my spouse was born and raised in Owensboro, and I use to live in Owensboro and Robards, KY (and TN is better, shhhhhh).
Born and raised in Bowling Green. I’ve lived all over the US as an adult and make really good $$ everywhere I’ve lived, except KY, but every time I move back to BG I live paycheck to paycheck. The pay has not changed much in 20 years that’s why people choose TN (Nashville Area) in my opinion.
I live in Lexington and absolutely love it
As a jazz enthusiast, I tend to like Bluegrass music much more than country music.
"Try to be Friendly" 😀 We have been living in Minnesota for the past 10+ years... and thinking of a move.... Thank you for the video.
Us too, but we lived in MN 50+ years, it’s too hard to break away. And 15-20 years earlier our state seemed to have way more trees than today. Grand majestic trees of all sorts used to be here in MN, at least in my memory, we did! Tennessee has so many ugh
I’d be moving from there too, Tim Walz is a creep lol.
We are living near Myrtle Beach SC we have been here 30 years plus. We are looking forward to living in Kentucky. Will enjoy being with God and animals.
I’ve split half my life between MI and AZ, I hope Cali doesn’t destroy either of these states. Bluegrass is the best! I’m a healthcare worker and can make good money in both states, but am drawn to KY. I’ve got 3 months ❤ thank you for this
When discussing “big cities” in Kentucky, don’t forget northern Kentucky greater Cincinnati area. It’s not a single city, but is comprised as one and it probably larger than Lexington if taken as a whole.
Correct, the "Cincinnati Airport" is actually right across the river from Ohio in Kentucky!
A massive amount of Cincinnati new jobs are across the river on the Kentucky side!
So let's talk about why people pick TN over KY - no state income tax in TN vs 6% in Kentucky!!
TN also has slightly lower property taxes in big cities that are NOT Nashville & Knoxville!
Here's the issue - whatever you think you'll save on income tax in TN will be more than drowned out by insane property prices around Nashville & Knoxville & they simply can't increase much more.
Kentucky Lake is in both TN & KY, the price difference of lakefront lots on the SAME lake is crazy 30% higher on the Tennessee section!!
Overall, rural Kentucky people are gonna be happier for a non-local buying a farm than rural Tennessee who outsiders have driven land prices to the stratosphere, priced nonsensical.
Tennessee is more business-friendly than KY as far as compliance paperwork & taxes, if you're starting a business & all else equal would do it in Tennessee,
but for buying a home or farm in 2024 TN forget it!!!
Tennessee demanding & getting 250,000 for an old mobile home on 3 acres, it's gotten insane!
I would LOVE Bluegrass and Country music. Coming from the frozen Minnesota tundra, I'm looking to find that homestead outside a city near a quaint little town where I can sit on my front porch, whittle wood and sip bourbon while the wildlife enjoys their lives.
Sounds like you’d love Kentucky..
Check out Allen or Barren county ky , low cost land and lots of it , and only 1hr, 20 minutes or so from Nashville !
Good luck finding decent healthcare if you move to most rural areas of TN and KY.
We support the Bengals(unfortunately) here in Northern Kentucky! But there is a decent group of Steelers fans here, too.
I bet the lack of waving a friendliness is coming from people that moved from a state where they just don’t do that. I moved from nevada and ended up in cali (not by choice) and the people here for the most part are just flat out rude and zombie like. We wave at people and they give us dirty looks or look surprised that we’re waving. I don’t like it at all honestly! We’re looking at both Tennessee and Kentucky but ultimately it’s wherever God wants us to go! Thank you for making these videos! They help.
I listen to country and grew up in small towns mostly but I mainly listen to Christian music lately
Hey, thanks for the comment! Yeah, the mannerisms of folks out West are different from the folks out East, and there is a bit of a noticeable change with the influx of newcomers. Glad you find the videos helpful! Don't hesitate to reach out if we can help in any way!
I moved to the commonwealth in 2018. Now, in 2024, i cannot believe how ridiculous housing prices have become. Locals have been completely closed out from buying. Wages are too low here for people to get ahead, let alone buy a 500,000.00 house, that just 6 years ago, would have sold for 200k. It’s become unreasonable, and locals know it. Eventually, they will become very hostile toward outsiders buying up homes, and bringing prices out of reach for locals.
I fell in love with Kentucky, and don’t want to see her people suffer just so folks from Chicago can buy up all the houses, making the rest of them financially out of reach.
I think it's strange that Kentucky is called the South when it's in "the middle"
Yeah, it actually feels like a healthy mix of both, north and south. It’s kind of an in between State.
Go’s back to civil war times , ky is 13th star on confederate flag, and its below Mason Dixon line , People from southern Kentucky call themselves southern while people from northern Kentucky prefer Appalachian, i went to a one room school in eastern Tennessee in the early 1960s our teacher was from Kentucky, she had a great grandfather who was a colonel in the Kentucky confederate army, she had us sing dixie every morning .
Another thing to consider with both Tennessee and Kentucky is that both states are pretty different between their Eastern and Western parts, especially in topography. I really like both states, and I keep thinking about Kentucky for retirement. I’ll have to watch your video on that (although it’s gonna be a while).
Lol gonna be a while for us too!
Good to know that Kentucky also has western flat land and the further east = it ascends to the the more rolling hills/steep Mt land!
Northern Kentucky(Cincinnati metro) is the best place in Kentucky to live in my view! I live in Covington and love it!
Sad how other parts of the country are so unmannared.
Imagine living a lake life on Lake Cumberland Kentucky. On top of that 200 million dollar Horse soldier bourbon distillery resort under construction in Somerset the will be unicorn of the bourbon trail.
KY is a liberal state, TN is a red state. KY cost of living, including taxes, is higher than TN. I’ve lived in both, but I really wish more people would choose KY or TN, but I understand WHY they choose TN over KY.
Kentucky is most definitely not a liberal state. We are red, through and through. We go red for POTUS every time, and you’d be hard pressed to find a liberal outside Lexington or Louisville. The only reason we have a Democrat governor right now is because the Republican candidate was trash, and Andy Beshear is pretty harmless as he doesn’t do anything. Don’t ever call Kentucky a liberal state again hahahaha.
Tennessee has the Tennessee Walking horse as the state horse...
Being very honest, not snarky. Tell them to stay up North or on the Wast Coast. They voted for that lifestyle, and will most definitely bring it with them. Virginia is literally ruined, compared to what it was twenty years ago. The DC culture is literally everywhere here. The amount of rural farmable land is and has been turned into subdivision’s. See your real estate taxes double. Yes, we also pay personal property tax as well. They move in, and nothing suits them.
I prefer blue grass (over country) music, but literally thought that originated in the hills of Tennessee, NOT Kentucky. Idk how these facts slip the mind , or get turned around, cuz dah…the rolling, beautiful, blue grass fields are Kentucky. Also Appalachia culture as a whole, I seem to associate it with Tennessee and West Virginia over Kentucky, as well. But it’s incorrect, so thank you for this info. Trees, magnificent trees, I think Tennessee wins in that category , however?
Insn't Jellystone in Kentucky?
I wish it could be Kenessee
Oh and been in Kentucky 20 years - NOONE eats KFC or considers it Kentucky food, KFC are little tiny old shacks in Kentucky, while in Southeast Asia, KFC is a mammoth chain with mega foodcourts - in Kentucky, KFC is "whatever" & if you went to the 1st KFC in Corbin KY you would be massively disappointed!!!
You will not find a Normal Rockwell 1950s diner, youll find a dark diner with tiny windows, that makes you feel like you just came from an old KY coalmine to eat.
Now in which of these states would I get in less trouble for being a fan single malt scotch? lol
I think I'd rather pay state income tax and some from Michigan versus the higher sales tax. And I do know that Kentucky when you turn 65 you no longer have to pay income tax.
KY taxes you on your vehicles and Rv, each and every year. The sales tax is lower in KY, but they tax you in other areas and TN has no state income tax. We have a much lower tax bite, but I really wish everyone would move to KY, NC, SC, GA and AL.
@@southernyankee2300 yeah I just researched that they charge you 45 cents per $100 of the value of the vehicle so in my case I have a 2008 Ford E350 van and I'm not sure how they figure on how much it's worth but let's say I paid $5,000 for it a couple of years ago so that would run $22.50 for the taxes plus I learned that they also have a registration fee of $20. In Michigan here are registration fees are around $90 a year so overall it's cheaper than Michigan but not much.
@@ronbown3836 you are getting a better deal in KY on homes with land right now. TN prices have soar with all these out of staters with money buying overpriced houses. TN is the best place to go off grid because we have the least restrictions, so the rural properties have also skyrocketed. Overall, buying in TN is to expensive for native Tennesseans and whereas NC property was always much higher than TN they are now even. I sold my home outside Chattanooga last December and I am trying to purchase a home in Eastern TN, but I am also looking in AL, SC, NC, VA, AR, and now KY as well. I love TN, but if I get a better deal on what I am looking for in one of these others states I guess I am saying goodbye to TN as much as I hate to do so. Good luck.
We are from Michigan and we're looking to move into Kentucky. Just to get away from the rat race and probably retire down there. I've always loved country music. Even more so now.
Well, long as you’re not a Michigan fan we’ll let ya pass 😜 lol just kidding, you’ll be welcomed here in KY!
The Southern Hospitality is superficial ...
Oh for sure...definitely can be.
I'm glad someone finally spoke the truth. I moved to Somerset Kentucky 2.5 years ago, and I have not seen "Southern Hospitality" anywhere. All I've witnessed is back stabbers, gossips, liars, and people who smile to your face then secretely try to ruin you all around town. People who claim to be neighbors talking and whispering and spreading lies. Let me tell you the truth, If you aren't born and raised in Kentucky, you will never be truly welcomed here. Its an entirely different culture here, very backwards, very stuck in the past. If you dont have a last name people know and recognize as one of their own, you are nobody.
I love all your videos....❤ I am currently living in WA State and I love Somerset KY. I am ready to make a move and leave WA forever 😢
Thanks for the kind words! We don't get a ton of positive comments on this channel for some reason, a lot of people try to trash KY from behind the keyboard, but they don't know any better & miss out on how beautiful & peaceful the State actually is. But we sure do get the BEST relocators that call us to help them with their big move in finding their KY home! So that makes it worth it! You wouldn't be the first person we've helped from WA! We've helped a ton of folks from the West coast in the last several years! Great people too! Don't hesitate to reach out when you're ready!
We’re trying to find our home 🩷 we have 4 kids my oldest leaving for the military but with 3 littles from a baby to 12 we are trying to find the right place to raise them. We’re from small town where everyone knows everyone until the laws changed and now our towns gone. We loved our home we do annual Christmas light parades and so many things amazing things with a tiny town and then farms all over. The laws have ruined our way of life most of the city folks hate our way of life and they aren’t friendly, they don’t want chickens or cows and fight to change our laws 😓 it’s heartbreaking so much changed but the biggest was not being able to find any child care or help around the house. We had 7 speech therapists because no one wants to do these jobs anymore. It’s heartbreaking 💔 we have to find our forever home we have no family here my momma is in Tennessee my mother in law is in queens NY 👀 but we’re not city people always have been homesteaders and Jesus first everyone respects everyone and helps each other. If someone’s sick we come together as a town and do food trains and mow the grass but it’s ruined now where we are in upstate NY. I’m a mess over this because I am having such a hard time finding another place like where we live 😓 politics it seems are being changed everywhere and we just want our normal way of life. You live your life as long as you do no harm I could care less, but the politics are forcing change 💔😓
We totally feel everything you said!! A LOT of places are changing!! KY is still very charming, family friendly, and spacious. But we also don't know for how long! Please feel free to reach out if you think you're coming this way! We'd be glad to see how we can help! South Central KY is so beautiful!!! We LOVE it here.
@@centralkentuckyliving thank you I will talk to my husband about it again 🩷 I know there’s still towns out there that don’t care at all who you are or what you do behind closed doors as long as your doing no harm, and are not looking to build fancy new state of the art everything an then tax you out of the little bit you have worked so hard for. I say this because our taxes were $6k in 2020 and now they are almost $12k but the pay is so bad now for education an the horrible new costs of living there’s no retention. So there is no one filling the spots that we’re paying so much in taxes to have filled. That was his breaking point, he traveled for years to NYC as a line man removing trees from power lines and things, an they started discussing banning wood stoves an the tax hike an that was it we knew it was time to go. We have so many winters we lose power to think we can’t have a source of heating was nonsensical. I will share your channel to him. Have a blessed weekend 🤗
I’m from Ohio, Toledo area but out in the country. Would you say moving to Kentucky would be worth it? Or is it to similar to where I’m at now.
@@KyleDoesEverything
We’re not familiar with Toledo, but we do have a video about considering a move from Ohio to KY. Hope it’s a little bit helpful!
Let me guess?.. another Realtor 😜
Is north east TN similar to south east KY in views?
People from New York, California, etc… Please, don’t come to Kentucky unless you’re going to leave your voting record behind you! We don’t want to become the states you’re escaping!
Tennessee has better hog hunting…..all you need to know
