Yow! That's more than I pay for state income + property with a much higher valuation!
Property value is much lower here, so you get a lot more bang for your buck. In the suburbs of Dallas, you can have a mansion for $500k.

17 aces of land and 5100 sq. feet.

4200 sq. feet
Just a couple of examples.
Compare that to California, where you are lucky to get a 1500 sq. foot house for $600k.
