what is going on everyone who wants to find out what places in the United
States will pay you to move to or open up a business in their city or town if
you've never heard of this before I assure you it's a thing for whatever
reason places in the United States will pay you cash or offer other incentives
to relocate most of these places are rural and wanted drawing good people to
help revive the community while others want to encourage new investment and
bring in jobs you also have cities that have fallen on
hard times that are trying to stop the outward migration you know keep some
people there bring some new people in basically it breaks down to this if
you're looking to start a new life or just starting out why not move to a
place that wants you so bad they'll actually make it worth your while
most of my life I felt there was nothing better than a free beer this is so much
better so why don't you grab a drink sit back and watch my top ten places that'll
pay you to live there then you can plan your escape number ten Curtis Nebraska
located in southern Nebraska Curtis has a population of about a thousand people
and it's home to the Nebraska College of technical architecture it's a mouthful
if you're going to move here and you don't have a house already they'll give
you the land to build one on the only real requirements are you got to build
within a certain time and it's got to be a single-family home not bad especially
if you want to go to school to be a Technical Architect I guess huh now
before you say it stop typing I am sure you have some extra hoops you have to go
through to get your property you don't just show up at some office and say hey
I want my land give me an address and off you go
number nine Marney iowa located in southwestern Iowa about an hour east of
Omaha Nebraska you'll find the tiny town of Marni and its population of one
hundred and twenty if you're looking to slow life down a bunch this is the place
for you the local town council gives away free Lots for you to build your
dream home on now if you have one of these jobs that let you work from home
it's perfect cuz there's really not a lot of jobs around there's actually it's
very far away from any jobs I guess but if you can work from home you'll be able
to work in peace because about 75% of the population is
in their 60s not like you have to chase any of them off your lawn or anything
like that and bingo rarely gets crazy enough to involve the police
number eight New Haven Connecticut the coastal city of New Haven Connecticut is
probably most famous for being the home of Yale University Ivy League school in
case you don't know to encourage people to buy homes here the New Haven
initiative will lend you up to ten thousand dollars interest free to use as
a downpayment what makes this one cool is it's not out in the sticks
you're not like out in the middle of the Iowa outback New Haven is a real city
that isn't plagued with crime drugs and bad pizza like Philly
it also offers free tuition to any in-state college kid who graduates from
a public school there so that's a plus
number seven Kansas okay now this the first one that covers almost an entire
state if you're an American citizen or a dual citizen and you want some help
paying off your student loans think about Kansas you know that place that
had the twister that took Dorothy's house to Oz and subsequently crushed an
old woman yeah that place the state has identified 77 counties as rural
Opportunity Zones where they will pay off 15,000 of your student loans and
give you a state income tax waiver for up to five years if you move there these
counties are spread out throughout the state take a look at them Kansas is a
little dull and a little boring it's a little flat but hey fifteen grand worth
the student loans paid off that might be worth the movement in Kansas
number six Alaska Alaska has a variety of assistance programs to encourage
people to buy property there now for most people Alaska has been out of the
way sure it's not connected to the rest of the US mainland like Hawaii and say
the territories but it's not like you're moving to Mars when I hear people talk
about Alaska that's how they make it sound like it's that far away it's
really not it's quick plain Travoy not a big deal the state also pays an
annual dividend to its permanent residents so they can share in the
revenue coming from Alaskan oil and mineral resources from some deal that
was set up way back when number five Detroit Michigan
Detroit has an incentive program called live Midtown it's to encourage people to
live in one of the more forgotten cities in the world right now if you buy
property in one of the selected neighborhoods you can get a forgivable
loan of up to $20,000 if you haven't seen Detroit in the last decade or so
you're probably thinking $20,000 that's insane it's not real no it's real for
some of you that have seen Detroit think $20,000 gonna pay for the whole house
and what's funny is it can I'm not kidding take a look at these if you rent
you can also get twenty five hundred for the first year to cover some of your
rent and then the second year they'll give you a thousand bucks to cover rent
throughout the year it's pretty good deal but you got to live in Detroit
number four new richland Minnesota new Richland is a farming town in southern
Minnesota with a population of about twelve hundred people as far as other
rural and farming towns that offer similar deals this town is huge by
comparison if you build in the communities Homestake subdivision you
can get the land for free it's got a golf course hiking trails you live a
serious life of leisure if you want and to be honest I found it hard to come up
with legitimate reasons not to live in Minnesota when I did my Minnesota videos
I mean pass running the risk of having your nuts freeze to your inner thigh
during the winter I mean other than that the place is pretty nice
number three Baltimore Maryland to get rid of some of the eye sores and the
historic parts of Baltimore the city will actually pay you ten thousand
dollars to buy a vacant lot and develop it the city also offers other incentives
such as loans for home upgrades and rehab of historic properties if you've
ever been to certain areas or have seen pictures of certain areas of Baltimore
you could see why they have to do this the good news is they don't force you to
be a Ravens fan so it's kind of a win-win number two
harmony Minnesota besides sounding like a place you could find love or a massage
harmony Minnesota is a great town they use the slogan a nice place to visit an
even better place to live which I've seen the slogan before in other places
but I mean whatever so besides not being very original
harmony is a great place to live this one kind of throws me off it's a nice
place to live and they still give incentives in fact if a home you build
has an estimated market value of over 250,000 you get a cash rebate of $12,000
they put the price there so nobody comes in parks a trailer on a lot and asked
for their 12k there's no age restrictions income level or residency
restrictions so you can apply whenever they're waiting for you and number one
the state of Washington Washington is not just Seattle Starbucks and the Puget
Sound it's a good size state with a bunch of open land many parts of that
open land don't have great access to healthcare if you're paying down student
loans in certain healthcare related fields and are willing to dig in for
three years in Washington State the Washington State loan repayment program
is offering up to $75,000 in loan reimbursement there are a few
stipulations of course for starters you can't take too many sick days or work
too few hours partaking of the legalized weed is a no-no trying to get maternity
leave while being a single man that didn't get anyone pregnant that's
another one you can't do you know the basic shenanigans health care
professionals shouldn't be doing all right so that's my top ten places
that will pay you to live there hope you guys enjoyed it hope you got some
