I've always purchased out-of-state since I live in LA and that's definitely one of the most expensive places. There are lots of ways to buy out-of-state. I've loved doing it. More options and I don't have to fix toilets.
Message me anytime if you want to chat more about ways to do it, or I can throw some articles into the thread about it too.
