Yeah, that's why I'm doing my homework, I don't want to be one of those people. Your channel has been a huge inspiration and source of valuable information. I really appreciate what you do,and I wanted to thank you.
Great info! Thanks for sharing, these are the kind of tips that save people thousands and thousands of dollars, not including the head ache that comes along with that
Hi Stephanie, you can get the parts of a system separately or an entire off grid system as a unit and you generally can get by with a 500-1000 watt system for off grid use if you are using propane for heating and cooking. There is a worksheet for sizing your system in the ebook that should help. It really depends on your needs and your budget.
I always recommend contacting the county to get the codes and any other building restrictions for any land and visiting the land first. Listings are just the minimum and you need more info before buying. See what you need for water and sewer in the area.
thank you for what you are doing to help people own land for themselves and the right kind. you are really doing a great service to Americans to learn how to homestead. God bless you for all you do to help people make right choices in buying land. The videos are great! Edith
Thank you so much for such a great video series, it's exactly what I needed. Your approach on homesteading is exactly what I in envisioned when I decided to make this my plan. I'm currently 20y/o, and in college, but it's all to work towards my goal of owning my own property, building my own home, and cutting down my dependency one notch at a time. I highly appreciate you and your videos, as you've unknowingly have acted as such a great mentor. I have much more to learn though, so keep it up!
Make a list of everything you want in a perfect property and then check the auction websites and real estate listings everyday. Great properties come on every day and are sell fast so you have to check every day and know what you want and avoid everything else. You will find it!
You came to my life at the right date & time. Thank you soooo very much for this video! May your God bless you with happiness & all the abundance you need. Gracias por existir :-)
you're absolutely correct about the warranty deeds....but....theres a couple different kinds. you'll want a general over a special warranty deed as it offers the buyer more protection. Also, you forgot to mention title insurance. That's very important as well, as you'll want to know title is free and clear of debts....any kind of debts. Many times the seller will provide that for the buyer as a "Good faith" gesture...at least in the West. Great 2 videos. I've been researching buying my homesteading land for almost a year now, and I'm glad to say that I've covered the bases you talked about. I'm about to offer on it so wish me luck...
Finally someone with common sense......sad to say most won't do most of what you said......I have been looking for just over a year and have one golden rule "ALWAYS READ THE FINE PRINT".....It has saved my wallet more than once....keep up the good work.
Yup people need to know that real estate agents work for the seller and can tell you anything. Always visit the property and get anything they promise in writing.
Tax sales in many states and in most cases all liens are extinguished at the tax sale. The typical lien that is not extinguished are county or municipal liens, and in some cases HOA liens. Mortgages are usually fully extinguished since the bank was notified with in 60 days of the tax sale and they had an opportunity to step in and buy the property to protect their interest. Each state has published the laws regarding their process for tax sale, and they list what liens survive the sale, so be sure to look at that information before buying the property. If the property is advertised for sale in advance of the auction, due some research before bidding and visit the property before bidding.
Good looking out.
I searched several counties, called one that we were interested in and asked if they allowed composting toilet systems. To my surprise they answered, "Sure, several of our residents have them". You never know unless you ask and as Lamar says, "...do your due diligence". We purchased unrestricted property there and are very happy with the lower taxes. Restrictions are typically for investors and are NOT homesteader friendly. They are usually too tight or nothing at all (no in-between), so better for the serious homesteader to have nothing at all.
Thanks- yes more rural counties are wanting homesteaders to build up their tax base and will work with you. Look for "approved alternative systems" in the codes and that usually means composting toilets and gray water systems are allowed. That saves a lot on a septic system. You may have to educate the county people to the system you want to use.
Don't rush into a sale just because it is cheap. Go online and research the area and contact the county and visit the area first Those properties in that same area will show up all the time. Contact the seller and they may have other lots in the same area.
A mobile home has to have a tag that approves it for residential living. Always check with the county because they make the final decision and some will work with you.
I know that feeling. I missed out on many great parcels due to my hesitation. When I found the land I bought, the main selling points I liked was the paved road a few hundred feet away, with a gravel road to my lots, and electric lines running in front of my lots. That was a miracle, in my mind.
By the way, I got in contact with my "next door" neighbor there. He said that it's safe enough there that he only locks his house when he's going out of town. BTW, "next door" is two miles away......
This gentleman is full of information so valuable and useful. This guy is a great teacher of Land.
I am pretty sure the easement is counted from the middle of the road so half of that road is on your property easement and your driveway on the easement. In the city the sidewalk is on the easement and is considered public property.
It all depends on the county and some will only let you stay for a short time on Rec property. If you plan on building later get property zoned multi-use or Residential.
Of All the videos I've seen over the years, this is the most thoughtful and well presented! I've already sent links to other people. Thank you!
Just wanted to say that I love your channel. I found it last night and since then I've watched nearly all 80 of your videos. Awesome job on your videos and information. I hope to be living like you some day : )
Lordskeep
Wow he has 80 of them huh? I almost made a fool of myself and suggested that he should.hahaha
Your video is so awesome! I am very well informed and you gained a subscriber! :)
Thanks friend!
Count me in too! Great video. Thank you so much for this information. God bless you!
Yes. Watched both vids. Learned and refreshed on the deeds. BUT! The BEST lesson that I learned here was to get my head out of the "excitement" cloud and finish getting my homework done. Still have a year before I purchase. And the book. Will definitely purchase when possible. Thanks.
Thanks for taking the time to make these videos. Very informative for someone who doesn't know where to start when buying land.
This is a very well thought out discussion of buying homestead land. A welcome change to many of the unrealistic off-grid / homestead videos on UT. Good work!
a true inspiration and hopefully showing my wife your channel can explain it better than I can. when I bring it up, I know she thinks of little house on the prairie or a shack in the middle of the woods.
Thanks for being so cool and taking the time to share your knowledge. Very nice of you!
Thanks for this, I'm searching for land right now and wasn't sure about Land Central so good to hear you suggest it.
Thanks- I hope people will take the time to do some research so they get the right land for their needs and not waste money on un-useable land.
My wife and I are looking for land currently so this was a timely video series. Thank you!
Thank you... thank you... thank you.... for taking the time to do this video... This is all very new to me but I am completely interested in living this way once I retire in a few years...
This is a gosh darn masterclass! Thanks for sharing all this info, man. I hope you know how invaluable this information is. You've done the internet a massive service.
Right on friend!
Thankyou for giving me valuable insight to me and my family. I'm a newbie in this type of land owning process. My only path is to secure the well being of my family, and with this new found knowledge, you made the journey easier. Thanks again.
Terrific video. You always have great advice. A couple of things I would recommend be done when looking for property is to check if the property has wetlands and if it is in a flood zone. Wetlands especially could limit how you use your property. There are websites that lets you look this up just by inputting the property’s address. Again, great video! Thanks for posting this.
This is the most beneficial 'off the grid' vid on the net. Thanks for posting this!
This is a very informative set of videos. Thanks so much. Love all your videos. Will definitely be buying your e-books.
Thanks Keith!
I have been watching your Videos,and now feel much safer looking at land.Look forward to Having your book soon Thanks for the Help.
Thanks friend- some day I want to cross that big pond and see your country!
Excellent videos Lamar. I will be buying your book within the next few days. Thank you for sharing your time and knowledge. Please keep the videos coming!
Thanks Wayne- I go into more depth on homesteading, starting a homestead business and multiple streams of income in the book and lots of different projects and cabin designs for a homestead. The ebook is the best deal.
Great information, thank you! Subbed. So great to see how it's done in plain simple actions and language. You're a great teacher and leader. Thanks again!
Thanks friend!
Hi Lamar!
I just found your website and just watched a couple of your CZcams videos on buying land. I presently live in South Florida. My partner and I are considering Ocala, Florida in a year or so, when she retires on Social Security. I am already retired, and on Social Security. We are really frugal folks, and we would love to have a one acre property, to grow fruits and vegetables, and also chickens. Your site is very, very interesting, and I will definitely continue to read more about what you have on it, including your videos. You sound like a very sincere person Lamar! You know that one cannot be too careful these days.
Very, very informative! Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us.
Thank you, this is such valuable information, thank you for taking the time to make this.
Thanks for the great info. I am in the process of looking for some property as a little getaway/camping location to eventually build on in the future. This really helped me!
I have some land near Show low in Navajo county. I am pretty sure that is mixed use and can be used for residential but I would call the county and make sure.
@solarcabin excellent very informative I wrote notes I'm gonna type a version on my computer and have my notes on cue cards I'm gonna know this front & back super ready by the time I purchase thanks again
I'll keep my eyes peeled for something you may like. Other selling points I liked about my land's location is the zero restrictions on home size, no time restrictions on building, public water wells (for those who choose water storage instead of drilling a well) and the very sparse population.
My land is located South of Montello, Nevada, in Pilot Valley, almost in the dead center of the valley.
You may not believe this, but the Elko county bureaucrats are friendly and helpful.
Thanks! Great video. Bought your e-book. Really good man. It is easy to understand with good directions and a lot of ground covered.
Thanks friend!
Thank you for all this valuable information. I really enjoyed your video. I will be buying your book soon. Thanks again.
Absolutely stellar work sir! You've earned my money! I'll be ordering the book in the near future. Excellent detail that shows you care about what you create.
Thanks friend!
just wanna thank you for all the great information you provide, and mos def I'am going to buy your book
Thanks, Lamar! Got my minding rolling on all the possibilities.
Thank you so much for the valuable information found in this video series. There are many tiny house owners (houses on wheels) who are finding it hard to acquire land that they can legally park there small homes on. If I'm not wrong, recreational properties may work well for them. However, as you have stated, residential affords more options for those who may want to enlarge on their experience of tiny and sustainable living. I have your book and found it extremely valuable.
Thank you for sharing. Finally... found right person who give me honest & trustworthy info:. Learning...Thank You...
Thank you so much for posting these videos! We are a family of 3 in our younger years just trying to make it out of the rat race. There are so many loop holes and booby traps, it's pretty nerve wracking to go it alone. The advice you give in your videos is spot on and will totally help us get through this. =)
Very good and informative video. I will be downloading your book today. Thanks for all the valuable info and I look forward to seeing your other videos.
You can use payapal for land deals on Ebay and you can send money from paypal.
Thanks- yes there is a lot of other stuff I would consider in a land purchase but it is hard to cover that in a video but it is in my books.
You are welcome friend!
Great guide, love this thanks for sharing! Love your cabin and videos!
Thank you for a very informative video Sir. This is the type of information that should be taught in our schools. Good job.
thanks for the video man. you explained the process so that I can understand ....
Looking forward to grabbing your book. Thank you for explaining this process. A lot of those terms were really confusing to me and I haven't seen one video explaining them! Lol. Subscribed too!
I wish I did my homework before I bought my 1st chunk of land I had a lot of hidden surprises on that piece of land but I took that as a learning experience as to what not to do with buying land
Really good explanations. Thank you!
Now, I ordered your paperbook.
Thank you so much for the video, it is very helpful. I need to know how to get an easement for property I have already bought.
Thank you for excellent video, and clear explanations !
Great video, thank you for being so thorough, it really helped me.
*Greetings from South Yorkshire in the U.K.*
I have watched just about all your videos Lamar and I just want to say a massive thank you for all the information you give out for free. You seem like a solid upstanding guy. I would love to come sit on your porch and kick back with a beer and spend time with you. Shame that I like so far away on the other side of the big pond!
Thank you!!!! This video is so very helpful!!
Hi, Lamar. No, I'm not selling land. I was offering info about the website where I found my land.
The website is Land And Farm dot com, and it has land listings in all 50 states. That website allows only reputable Real Estate companies to advertise there. The agent I dealt with was very easy to deal with (not pushy) and I was stunned at how easy the entire process was to make the buy. I highly recommend that site.
LaMar, you are so informative and great at what you do. Thank you 😊
Happy to help!
@@solarcabin Do you have your drawings for the 14'x14' cabin? I would like to purchase them please.
very good and informative series, thanks for sharing.
Thank you very much for your videos, I hope to get your book in due time.
Great video... I used landwatch to find my property in TN... I had to contact the listing agent and the whole deal pretty good...
Good Idea. Thanks again Lamar.
Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge. Really appreciate your videos
I was happy to see your article in the nov/dec2013 issue of the backwoods man. I am trying to convince my wife to take this path. We are a young couple with a little boy and a little girl and I am sure this would be the best thing to do for our family. Thank you for all your vids and info
I have recently discovered your videos, Lamar, and I want to thank you for the wonderful level of sharing - I hope that your books sells 100,000 copies! I'll be buying one soon. Thanks for all you do. :-)
