These Towns Will Pay You to Move There
Aside from cash, some towns are even offering free property.

We live in a divided world, but one thing most people can agree on right now is that the cost of housing is way too high. Home prices have slipped a bit, but home prices, mortgage rates, and rents remain sky-high in a lot of places, and a lot of people—especially younger folks—are despairing of ever owning a home. It’s simply too expensive.
Increasingly, though, there’s a radical solution if you’re flexible: Getting paid to move someplace. Across the country (and even in Europe), small towns and even larger cities are offering some pretty attractive packages to encourage folks to move there. Aside from cash, some towns are even offering free property—as in, completely free plots of land or (in some cases) perfectly good houses that just need a little TLC. These are areas of the country that have lost population over the years, or that have seen old industries close up and are seeking remote workers to shore up the tax base.
