As soon as you buy your land put up fences and signs if someone puts a goat pen on your land and it stays for 20 years and you don't own that land anymore. Adverse possession is real.

[@Melkaseem]

Having land with too many trees is usually not a problem. You can sell a portion of your trees to a lumber company. They’ll come clear out the trees, stumps, twigs, leaves, and even the sawdust. After it is all said and done, depending on how much material they got vs labor and fuel cost you could walk away with a decent check and a clear building site.

[@thaivang]

Nah, some county and state probit certain tree from getting cut and you end up with a giant pine tree that you can't cut lol.. which happen to me. I had a massive pine tree which I believed is more than 200+ year. It so huge that you need 15 people holding hand to circle it. I also have a massive oak tree. Dont know the age because the trunk is wide but the height is short. Must be due to certain beetle eating the top part and I can't cut that oat either because those stupid beetle are protected lol...

[@youarenotme01]

No, they will completely destroy the land with giant machines. They will NOT selectively do it as you envision. Felling even a single tree by hand is wildly destructive. I’ve personally felled many trees with axes and chainsaws. You’re envisioning what a tree surgeon does. Tree surgeon’s are wildly expensive. Felling trees is very dangerous and you should not just get a chainsaw and try it. You need studious intent to properly learn how to fell a tree without hurting yourself. Seasoned professionals do get hurt. Most people don’t like seeing the destruction on their property either. When you see a giant fall it will sadden you. This guy’s land was clear cut and not replanted. See how fLAT the property is. That’s what your land will look like after machines tamp it all down. It isn’t cost effective for timber companies to do it any other way. It turns everything to mud. Maybe you’re into that, maybe not.

[@murphmurph2124]

Unrestricted no Zoning, unrestricted access, must have timber and mineral rights

[@noirhorror197]

I was wanting to put a fence around my property so I could get a bunch of goats to take care of the lawn.

[@KeepItTiny]

I just started hearing about this technique! At first i thought it was a joke but it seems like the goats do a really nice job.

[@jeremya7470]

Wow! I didn’t know that even remote land can have HOA. Learned something new 🤔

[@KeepItTiny]

That is a little-known fact. It makes no sense and is wild. HOA's are the absolute worst.

[@jujulepew]

I agree, i want to be the sole owner of everything on my land, like water rights from rain, snow melt and well, tree/log rights, but you not gonna be left with a lot of choices if you are not flexible on mineral/oil/ natural gas rights or the air space rights above your land! lol

[@marshall7781]

[@ryanamendala6524]

Its about education. A driveway easement is no big deal. Hoa can be for snow clearing or road maintenance only. You also dont want a janky single wide next to your 3500sqft cabin. Also, lots of animal droopings in Montana.

[@gidgemo1869]

Your philosophies are admirable. You also cover points that many might not have considered. The trees issue is something I’m having to seriously consider in the land I’m looking at (NW Washington). As for the water and mineral rights - I completely agree. I remember hearing a story about someone who did find oil on their land and the courts said they only owned the surface land, not what was underneath it.

[@joesellers2492]

Well, not all easements are bad. For my land the easement was a selling feature. I am part of a Land trust. And I am happy about that.

[@TheAdVentureists]

Great tips! You're right, tons of land near us are in HOA's and you wouldn't expect it at all (think hundreds or thousands of 40 acre parcels that are basically all raw land) and they are very restrictive! Loved the HOA devil impression! 😆

[@KeepItTiny]

I think that is the craziest thing but it's true. There are HOA's on large parcels of remote raw land. I would hate for someone to get stuck in a situation where an HOA is basically controlling them and limiting them.

[@GumCow]

I hate the HOA. Pure scum

[@shekharmoona544]

Make sure you put wildlife signs up.

[@jasminesanchez9035]

Great tips! I would also add avoid buying land that is miles out from a county/city maintained road. The county might require you to have a paved road in order to get permits and if your area gets heavy rainfall/snow, it can become really hard to drive on it.

[@KeepItTiny]

You are 100% correct! Being right off of or near a city/county maintained road is such a plus for all of those exact reasons you stated! Especially if you are going to run a business off of the land you buy because the owner of glamping business might own a Jeep or a truck but the guest coming to visit drives a Mini Cooper and can't drive on that muddy dirt road. Awesome tip Jasmine!

[@raywhiten3064]

Rainfall totals don't tell you much. If you're buying a property near water you want to know the FEMA floodzone classification. That tells you a) how frequently it's going to be under water, and b) whether they will insure it. If they won't, you'll have a hard time getting financing on the land in the first place. You also need to be aware of state/local wetland classification and permitted usage.

[@KeepItTiny]

Absolutely yes to everything you just said! Great tips. In the video I think I was speaking to more of a general audience with maybe the possibility of a stream or small pond. If you are near water everything you just said should be done before purchasing. Thanks for leaving a comment and helping everyone who watches my videos out. 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

[@jessicadentalaid4728]

Even better than FEMA, which many say is outdated in their projections, is FirstStreets “Flood Factor” research. For sure they do urban areas, I’m not positive about Uber rural areas being covered by them. Nevertheless, they are online with what are considered more up-to-date maps of more accurate flooding risks for geographical locations.

[@SmokyMountainBlessed]

thanks for the tips, we live in black bear country and the bears help draw our tourism to the smokies, so we are not going to shy away from them lol

[@rexhenkle3377]

All good points. I like land that gently slopes away from the building sites. Good time to check out land is right after or during a heavy rain.

[@swat4hire]

You can actually build your own pond and put a solar pump on it as well as having fish bottom feeders trout and tilapia... By doing that it's an ecosystem. Especially by putting water plants that are also edible like watercress and water lettuce... They help keep the pond clean they help as the filter brings the water through them keeping them watered and you'll always have a supply a fish. But it's important that you know how to take care of it. I agree with you I would not buy property with a river on it but I'm glad that I'm near one but on top of the mountain so I don't have to worry about flooding :) Thank you for another great video

[@dmitril.1935]

I thought I wanted to buy land with water on it but now I'm not sure. I'm still leaning towards land with water on it though. I need to think about this a bit more.

[@1985Tamimi]

Go for it! I still think you should still get the land with water

[@KeepItTiny]

I def think you should build what you think is best! Don't listen to me or anyone else, just take our info and make the best decision for you.

[@rhondaclaiborne7283]

Buy your land with water, common sense; don’t build your home too close to water. Trees provide shade, one can also used the cut down trees on, or in their homes. Animals poop (dogs too)! He’s not talking about farming land; HOA? 🤷🏾‍♀️

[@EcoNeighbor]

Mineral rights are so important!

[@KeepItTiny]

So important! People NEVER really talk about it though.

[@georgeyoung4847]

Rivers, Pond become a liability if you are going to have a camping area.

You are on point my brother. I’m also the son of immigrants from Puerto Rico and currently live in Colorado and bought 2 acres. Planning on building a rental and retreat cabin.

[@KeepItTiny]

Thats amazing! Good luck to you man. 2 acres is a perfect size too.

[@1cristalj]

This is GREAT info. I moved from a big city to a smaller town in a wooded area with a run off stream, and OMG!! The amount of work, exterminators, landscapers are overwhelming. I see it as preparation for me building a glamp site in the woods!

[@KeepItTiny]

That is awesome! I was in the same boat not too long ago so I know what you mean. First theres the culture shock of not being able to run to the CVS or corner store at any hour of the day and on top of that there is all this raw land you now own that you have to work on.

[@alessandra5927]

You are amazing! You truly could have been a movie star. I love your energy, but most of all I love your tips. My dream is to own my own glamping village with different aesthetics. I would love to work on a project with you!

[@KeepItTiny]

Wow, thank you Aly! I am trying my hardest and super new to youtube and making videos. I hope my channel will be a great resource to you as you plan and start your glamping village. Maybe one day we work together! Regardless though I am here to help so let me know if you ever want to chat, bounce ideas, or have a specific question or video you would like me to make.

[@stanleybest8833]

Expanding your vocabulary, there's Fee Simple...= unencumbered land. Fee Simple is no covenants, no easements, no sharing, no debt. Your property conveyance and title report describes: Schedule A. Description of property. Schedule B. Objections to title. Title terms are what drive land ownership. HOA's are a specific type of C's and R's. Covenants and Restrictions. I always mirror a title company when I shop for land.

[@katelynngeyer549]

Another thing to think about is timber rights as well...

[@AlexanderBeenGreat]

Water somewhere on the land is good if you are in a dry area and need a well. Basically it is a good sign that there should be some ground water available. Buying land with no well water is a problem.

[@jeremystevens5293]

Hey, thanks for the shoutout. Don't know what I did exactly, but glad I could help.

[@raspberryjellydoughnut5727]

Yes Some may not know this but it's very true River's Walk? Mind you sediment builds up over time & a river bank will either build & push the river further away or erosion will eat at the bank & take it away so yes the river will either walk towards you or it will walk away

[@KeepItTiny]

yep! People need to keep this in mind because a lot of the people I talk to want water on their land without knowing that it could be a gift and a curse.

[@swat4hire]

I had to add a comment with regards to trees. I bought land in Southern Oregon Klamath county. Our property is perfect it is on a dirt road that is already covered with snow removal... On the left side is a big field where we can have our farm and on the right side is a forest. There are owners on each side of our property but it's about 5.33 acres... 5.22 considering we have an electric pull on the front of our property. There are a bunch of trees but that's a good thing because we are going to thin out the forest by cutting down the dead trees... thinning it out so the smaller trees can grow and We will be using that wood with a portable sawmi'll mill in order to use it to build our cabin. Comes in handy not having to buy all that wood at a store… it is free. Sure it takes work but it's worth it in the end because you will save yourself at least 10 grand on a 2 bedroom house. Especially considering this economy. However since we want to have crawl space under the cabin, We're going to get pressure treated lumber to go into the ground as the support instead of pouring concrete which is what the city prefers. Or town. What are your thoughts on this? And the nice thing is that the land has only a 5% grade at the most. So for the most part it is flat and the only changes we have to deal with is how deep we sync the Poles into the ground in order to lift our house 2' off of the ground. A chalk line a level and some common sense should help there :) at least I'm praying One last thing our property is zoned for residential and farming. We are going up there and living in a bell tent as we build. I believe we have to get a temporary use permit after 3 weeks of camping... I'm not sure how all that works but we will figure it out. Maybe you can come up with some ideas for a video on the things I've brought up here? That would be awesome thank you And I plan on setting up my camera to film some of the stuff that we're doing so that we could teach other people as we go the mistakes that we make and the right choices we make. Hopefully it can be as good as your channel :) are you in Oregon? It be cool to have you as a neighbor! Blessings

[@PupusaHotDog]

THANK YOU for making this!!! So glad I found your channel. I've heard the mineral rights point up brought up from a lot of different folks, but when I've been asking about it during my. showings, I almost get eye-rolls... Like "yeah right mama, not gonna happen." I'm in Texas so it kind of makes sense that the mineral rights are so prized, but not sure how I should approach? I'm looking to buy land for personal homesteading, not really for building a glamping business upon. Thoughts / recommendations here?

So i bought 2 houses on a river in an HOA.... and yeah,... HOA's suck and i won't do it again. I have to pay $40 extra per group to the HOA and also turn in every persons name to the HOA for each group. I also have flood insurance and possible flooding to deal with. I was limited to only building a 10' x 10' deck near the river and i had to pay permitting fees to BOTH the county AND also to the hoa. Projects had to also be approved by both of them. The things you learn too late..... On the good side, the first house i finished has 98% occupancy so far (at 2 months open) which is awesome.

[@TheDuquette1]

Regarding your reason number 1: A pond ups your land's value a good amount and how much you can charge per night. You can also get maps of the flood plain and building 100 ft or so away from your pond is just fine. Plus mosquitos congregate there so you wouldn't want to be right next to it. If I don't have land with a pond, I look at the watershed map and build one that flows with the land.

[@KeepItTiny]

building a pond sounds like a large endeavor. Ponds and water are two sides of the coin, they can be awesome and up the value of land but they also can be terrible and cause. ton of headache. I still wouldn't recommend it to someone who doesn't have the know how or resources to handle things if they went south.

[@TheDuquette1]

@@KeepItTiny I see your point. There are multiple types of ponds that can be built depending on your land and it is a research endeavor or you have to know that your landscaper can do it properly. I would still say it's worth the time and effort. I'm biased in that i practice permaculture and am always looking for ways to integrate with my land with the added benefits of my initial comment.

[@cyrusjulian187]

Hi gentlemen, thanks for this insightful conversation. I've learned a lot from both of you from this thread alone. Two thoughts. 1) As Jordan mentioned, there are flood maps and at least in CA, it's a mandatory disclosure to tell a buyer where the flood zones are (although not sure for land but def any residential). Even if not, you can get it for less than a $100 through services like JCP report along with fire hazard zones, earthquake, etc. But also not sure how it works for other states 2) Wouldn't the fishing demographic want to be right by a lake to go fishing? I def see the points made about proximity to the water, the erosion and the practicality around messes that could be made from a rainy day so not sure. Personally, I would want to be by water but I guess you'd have to charge a premium to cover the additional cleaning costs and that might mess up your cash flow figures too.

[@TheDuquette1]

@@cyrusjulian187 Hey Cyrus, There are two states of money earning mind in land/glamping as he mentions in other vids, there's cash flow and there's equity. Pond ups your equity as a land owner. If you have the money they are worth investing in plus you can charge a bit more for your rentals. Re: erosion and fish. Fish can be stocked. I have an 8 acre pond on my property stocked with bass. People fish on it all the time. People pay just to come fish and not stay overnight. You'd also want to set up buffers around the pond with Elizabeth grass or some other such ground cover to guard against erosion and make sure any trees aren't too close, like right on the edge of your pond to guard against erosion. You can also make a berm barrier as you are dredging it.

Good stuff, very informative. But regarding the part about property lots full of trees… Those happen to be some of the least expensive lots that I’ve been seeing listed within acceptable driving range of where I work. I hear that the average cost to clear the land of trees, shrubs, and other things is around $2500. If that is accurate, then I don’t think that is all that much. But I am currently looking at a .9 acre piece of land that is FULL of trees. So I am wondering if there would be some kind major cost adjusting just for that. Also, I noticed that you didn’t mention anything about power lines or narrow roads. Some of the lots that I’ve been looking at (which happen to be relatively cheap) tend to have power lines in the front of the yard or are situated alongside pretty narrow streets. I would imagine that things like power lines or narrow streets would cause major problems for the trucks and their constructors to do their work setting up your modular home. Wouldn’t you agree?

Very informative video. Thinking about owning land soon. I’m confused about the water and mineral rights: how do I find out who owns them? Can I own my water and mineral rights?

[@NiNeGaming1]

Thanks for the tips! What should we look for in terms of piped water already installed in the land? Like, if I buy a piece of land in the middle of the forest, how am I going to build the waterflow system for the bathrooms, for example?

[@KeepItTiny]

Hey, sorry for the late response. I got covid and that really slowed me down. Unfortunately, since I didn't go down this route I don't have much good info to pass along. I'll start doing research and maybe make a video about this in the future though.

[@NiNeGaming1]

@@KeepItTiny So how do you manage the bathrooms/showers in your glamping business? (i didn't understand, sorry) Would really appreciate a video about that in the future, that's what setting me back in the lookout for a piece of land to buy!

💯 Very good, practical information!! I have been a farm/landowner for years and have 22 acres of clear land (used as a hayfield) I'm considering for a glamping site. Everything you have listed is spot on - also consider the cost of drilling a well and running utilities. I'm sure you've covered that already in another post, but contact the utility company in the area and they'll tell you where they will bring power, how much it will cost and then get bids to run the power where you need. Water - check with neighbors to see how deep they had to drill their wells, and there's no guarantee of the quality of the water once drilled. The lical well drilling contractor should also have information - It could have high sulpher/iron content that make it distasteful and hard water kills equipment and appliances. All good - I am really enjoying your programs especially your prioritizing our impact on the environment and our wildlife... always my first consideration!!

[@KeepItTiny]

Wow this comment has a ton of useful info so thank you for adding to the conversation. I have to admit though that I am personally filled with joy because of your compliments. I am a city boy through and through so hearing that someone who has a farm with 22 acres and really knows there stuff agrees with me lets me know that I am on the right path.

[@walliswwarren1383]

@@KeepItTiny actually I have 38 acres - just considering the 22 for a glamping site..😉 Looking forward to more episodes!!

Thank you for watching the video 💪

Are easements the same thing as things like future electrical lines, sewers...stuff like that?

You’re so amazing for sharing all this❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

You are so welcome! Thanks for commenting on my videos and supporting the channel.

Really glad I found your channel lots and lots of great information

[@TheDuquette1]

Regarding your trees reason: First yes it is costly, but if you want to turn that to your favor, you can make money off of trees by selling them or using them for your build and saving on materials.

[@KeepItTiny]

I heard about that, my realtor let me know that if i did buy land with a lot of trees I could have it deforested for free or even make a profit from it.

[@TheDuquette1]

@@KeepItTiny Depends on how much you are conscientious about it. You can easily find a list of local foresters and talk to them about making a sustainable forestry plan. I.e. Depending on the species, you shouldn't cut in the same place twice in ten years so you look at the types of trees you have and then cut in groupings. Also mindful of where you're cutting especially if you're on a mountain or hill or steep slope because trees act like sponges for water so you don't want to get rid of too many sponges in the wrong places. A good hack for the most cost effective strategy is to walk the property and see if there are a good amount of fallen Ash trees. The Ash Borer beetle left us all a bunch of corpses we can easily go in to grab for building with.

[@johndillon7594]

is there a platform strictly for land for sale and if so what are your favorites

[@Chandrell_S]

Great content! What are the dwelling options? Have been researching and looking to do something unique beyond the typical tiny home on a trailer.

[@KeepItTiny]

Thanks for watching the vid! I wish I could give you more advice on that but the swelling options change from state to state, county to county, parcel to parcel. That being said though, I def agree with your thought process. You really want to stand out from the crowd with what you build. I heavily believe people are looking for a unique destination.

[@abriambarker3614]

Hi, good to hear your perspectives. What do you think about land with covenants?

[@KeepItTiny]

I don't want to buy land where there are any previous agreements that I personally did not set up myself. So i would be weary.

[@abriambarker3614]

I get your point. Reason I thought this, was when I bought land my first and only time five years ago out in the woods, the seller promoted that the covenants he created will help keep the property value high.

[@pearljamin]

What if that water is a spring? Also if there isn’t a HOA does that mean you will never have to worry about them? Is land just another thing for rich people to control and take away? 🤢

[@Daniel-xu6kd]

Thanks! what websites do you reccomend we use if we wanted to learn about local permit laws etc.?

[@KeepItTiny]

It stinks to say this but there is really only one website - that would be the website that your local town has set up. That is the first place to start. You can usually find the local laws on certain topics there. If not head down to city hall and just start inquiring. Stinks that there is no one stop shop but these things are specific to the exact area.

[@JM-dk7wh]

Great video! Keep it up.

[@KeepItTiny]

Thanks, will do! I'm trying my hardest to provide value and respect the time of the people who choose to watch my videos. Glad you found this video helpful.

[@cupsoftea7865]

That last reason was worth staying for the entire video - good stuff!

[@KeepItTiny]

Thanks for watching. That last tip is the biggest deal-breaker of them all. If you buy land you should want to own the land completely not just some of it.
