My son is renting a three bedroom house with garage and fenced yard in Fayetteville NC for $650/month.  You can buy a nice house for about 85 grand.

My almost 4000 sq foot house was only 300k in an area called Vestavia Hills and we are in one of the higher end income areas of town.

You would be a FOOL  to even think about getting an apartment in downtown birmingham,  but the suburbs are awesome.   There are a lot of houses for sale in the Clay area which is suburbs of B'ham

Edit:   Hey Reschke I live in clay near cchs, we should meet up some time.

Lots of places in TX you can get a decent 1BR apartment for under $600.  You'll pay closer to $700-$800 to live in a nice area, and can get as low as $400 if you want to live next to the same size 1BR apartment occupied by a dozen illegals.

The trick is finding a place that is near where you want to work.  I think Dallas has some telecom companies but I don't know if they're hiring.

You can get a decent house in Dallas for under $200k, and a small one in a reasonably decent neighborhood for around $150-$170k.  I have a nice house in Farmers Branch that I am selling if you end up out here :)

Awesome!  

Thanks for all the potential leads.

I'm going to write all this down in a notebook, and start doing some research online.  I've still got plenty of time to plan all this out, but you guys really made it alot easier.
