Are you tired of where you are living, and maybe just want a change? Maybe you'd do it, if you had some incentive.

Here's some incentive - there are several cities that will pay you to move there. Maybe one of them is right for you.

Cities Will Pay You To Move There

Dorothy, Toto - Topeka, Kansas is offering up to $15,000 to put towards a new home. Newton, Iowa is offering $10,000 cash if you purchase a qualifying home, and Ketchikan, Alaska will give you $2,000, and three months of free internet.

To qualify for these programs all you need to do is work remotely from a state other than the one you choose, be a U.S. citizen, be older than 18, and be able to relocate soon after you are selected.

Would You Move To Any Of These Cities?

These cities will pay you in incentives, and dollars:

1.  West Virginia is giving an incentive of $12,000, plus an outdoor recreation package, and a co-working space. But you must live in one of the following communities:  New River George, Greenbrier Valley, Morgantown, Eastern Panhandle, or Greater Elkins.
