Invest in a state with a strong economy and job market.  Texas, for example, has a low cost of living, no state income tax, and a thriving energy industry. California has a high cost of living but also has a strong tech industry and a high concentration of millionaires. Florida has no state income tax and a growing population, making it a popular destination for retirees.  Remember to diversify your investments and consider taxes, cost of living, and job opportunities when choosing where to build wealth.
