If you’re moving just down the street, or even to a nearby city, there usually isn’t much research that you’ll need to do about your new neighborhood. But, when you’re moving to another state, there are things you’ll want and need to know about your new surroundings. Here are useful tips and resources.
Tip #1: How will your taxes change? Investigate!
