Thanks for the insights. We purchased a lovely historical home in Kingwood WV 18 months ago and counting the last 5 years of California living before we retire in your beautiful state. Well done!

Social Security is not taxed in WV if income is less than $100k for a couple.

Kelly you are very welcome. Appreciate the nice words. Let us know if you have questions about the area.

Very interesting. If I was to retire to West Virginia, which I am not ready to do, it would most likely be to Fayette, Raleigh, or Kanawha County, where my family is from.

Hi😊 Thanks for this video! Did I hear you correctly…police pensions are NOT taxed by the state of WV?? We are looking to relocate to a state that won’t tax a Maryland police pension. Are there any stipulations in WV regarding taxing an out of state police pension? 2:08

I used to live in West Virginia I moved to Northern Pittsburgh did very good in real estate

My mom and dad still live in West Virginia they're in their mid-eighties now than doing well but I do believe fire insurance is kind of high West Virginia and car insurance is high I think I'd like to retire in West Virginia they have no inheritance tax unlike Pennsylvania

Hello there I'm from Montana I think your state is gorgeous. I have some German blood . Where is the best place that has Octoberfest festivities and of course other festivities and has good food and cold beer. LOL!

Where are the VA Hospitals?

I live in Jersey, outside Philly. thinking on relocating to WV and Harpers Ferry caught my eye. Im approaching retirement and feel its time to make a move. Im in the legal field and my son is a barber. Thoughts on Harpers Ferry? Oh and i lived in Nevis for a decade so small town in WV sounds great... I always say if you can make it in NJ, you can make it anywhere. 😊

Harpers ferry is beautiful. The downtown is really a living museum. Because of the geography there’s not alot of residential areas in town. Do you have some time to talk today or this week?

What are land prices like in rural areas? Do they allow small houses and modular homes to be set up on your own property?

I also have this question. I'd love to find a piece of land with some sugar maples on it and make syrup as my retirement activity, but I don't want to have to build an expensive house.

Did WV get rid of state income tax?

No. It Almost was. The bill didn’t get past the senate

Update. They didn't get rid of it but reduced the amount they tax by 25%. So it's less. Still fighting to eliminate it.

The northern panhandle is cheaper. A bit more populated though.

Yes. The Eastern Panhandle is close to the DC/Balt metro area -- probably why it's a bit more expensive

I am a West Virginian and I retired in West Virginia in early 2001... sad to say but WV is a third world country... infrastructure is either non-existent or crumbling... poverty and drugs are rampant, trash is everywhere... it may be cheaper that other states but in the end you get what you pay for and here we get almost nothing

@@bettyb1581 Saltville, VA is far from the WV panhandle in the southwestern part of Virginia. It's along the I-81 corridor and not too far from Bristol-Kingsport-Johnson City area of Tennessee/Virginia. It is VERY rural, but within driving distance to some nice little towns like Marion and Abingdon, along with the bigger more populated tri-cities area I mentioned above.
