Is it 6 months? Or as soon as I move there? I am thinking of moving to somewhere just across the border from Cincinatti when I get back from Iraq.

What does 30 grand for a house get me in that area? Preferably well outside city limits.

u need a KY DL.... don't know about N.KY real estate-I would guess not alot

It's six months as a resident.  Residency is defined by the date of your drivers license, or so I was told by the KSP.

do remember all valid CCW licenses are honored in KY....however be sure your not from a state that voids the CCW upon relocation (i.e FL doesn't void, SC does)  I have a FL permit and am a KY resident...although my permit has my SC address, I called FL-updated my info-this is all that is required to keep my FL permit  100% valid in FL–– thus 100% valid in KY

6 months is what i've always heard.
Where are you thinking of looking? 30 k wont buy you much.
