Why New Mexico Is the Hidden Gem of the Sunbelt

The Numbers Don't Lie
Property tax rate — LOWEST in America. A $357K home = $2,392/yr. Same home in TX = $5,712/yr.
Median home price. Compare: AZ ($420K+), CO ($540K+), CA ($750K+). Your dollar goes further.
Sunny days per year. Albuquerque gets more sun than Miami. Seriously.
