How to Get Free Real Estate in the United States

How to Get Free Real Estate in the United States
Have you ever wanted to buy a piece of land, own a home, or not have a mortgage? Most people do.
Having your own real estate is what most of us strive towards.
This list is about places that will give you free land to start a new life. Best of all, no mortgage or home loan, whatever you want to call it. Some places offer free land to businesses that will bring jobs to their community. So, for all your companies that work on the internet, like call centers, factoring companies, Data Rooms, or other websites, this video is for you. Any Realtor or Real Estate agent will tell you free land is great for you but not for them because they don't get any commission. So, call the towns or get on their websites.

As a realtor in my opinion, a housing market crash is imminent due to the high number of individuals who purchased homes above the asking price despite the low interest rates. These buyers find themselves in precarious situations as housing prices decline, leaving them without any equity. If they become unable to afford their homes, foreclosure becomes a likely outcome. Even attempting to sell would not yield any profits. This scenario is expected to impact a significant number of people, particularly in light of the anticipated surge in layoffs and the rapid increase in the cost of living.

[@Suleferdinand]

I suggest you offset your real estate and get into stocks, A recession as bad it can be, provides good buying opportunities in the markets if you’re careful and it can also create volatility giving great short time buy and sell opportunities too. This is not financial advise but get buying, cash isn’t king at all in this time!

[@KarenLavia]

You are right! I’ve diversified my 450K portfolio across various market with the aid of an investment coach, I have been able to generate a little bit above $830k in net profit across high dividend yield stocks, ETF and bonds.

Marquette, KS (about 30 miles southwest of Salina) has a free land program, where they will give you a piece of land with all utilities for you to build a home on. Apparently, they are fairly flexible concerning what you build. Teeny Tiny town. But here's the thing: they understand what they can offer and trying to leverage that. They are within a "reasonable" commuting distance to jobs. They know they cannot offer jobs, but they are within a reasonable commute. To help compensate for this, they have two other things they offer families. First, the town created a non profit and offers high quality low cost childcare for kids. Second, the town grocery store is a co-op of sorts, so you can get all your basics without paying those super high price small town prices. They also have various community events. The guy who owns the distillery in the local town square seems to be the guy who knows everyone to talk to. My husband and I passed thru there and met the whole town on one of their Marquette Mondays. We honestly would consider such a place if we were a young a family (but we are empty nesters).

I just want a small piece of land (only about an acre or 2 - maybe 3 at the most) somewhere that is close enough to town that I have access to emergency health care should I need it, but far enough out that I can do an off grid tiny house homestead - complete with raised bed garden, edible landscaping (fig trees, blueberry bushes, pecan trees, etcetera), container herb garden, chickens, and maybe a dairy cow or dairy goat.

[@dimitrilitovsk2372]

​@@dotspepper4880I live in a snowy area. You have to learn how to drive in it. Or have enough materials to not need to leave. Typically there's days where it stops snowing, and if it's light snow with wind it'll blow off of roads. If it's wet then you just drive 15mph or less. Salt is helpful but off grid it's not that easy. Or get snow travel like a snow mobile, during tough winters it's fun and effective! But the best way is to have enough food, water, and ways to heat without leaving the home.

I loved how you spoke about Flagler, CO while showing video and pics of lush, verdant mountains when that town is anything but. Geographically it is just western Kansas which is utterly flat and featureless. You have to drive an hour west before you even start to see a hint of the mountains. Also, a big problem with moving to these dying rural towns is that they are run by dying rural governments with utterly incompetent and often downright corrupt government officials. I recently moved away from a little Colorado town exactly like that and never want to see it again. And before anyone here starts in about it being a blue state, eastern Colorado is as hard conservative as anything you will find anywhere else. Corruption and greed know no political boundaries.

As a troubled city program, I expected it to be modeled after the Detroit Land Bank Authority. I couldn’t even find where they have listings. I guess it’s sincerely aimed at low income Buffalo residents that have knowledge of the vacant house or land, where as Detroit is advertising it like Zillow to the world. 👍 👍 Informative video.

Just for future reference, Beatrice is pronounced Bee-attress, like mattress. I lived in Lincoln, NE for a few years, and thats how they said it on the local news.

[@nedlyest]

Can confirm. i lived in Beatrice for a year.

[@robo52]

you're right. As a side note, there use to be a radio show in Omaha in the 80's that was called "The Mean Farmer" and it always picked on Beatrice with the obvious ... it called it BEAT RICE. Gotta love it. It's actually a great little town, very midwest.

Got a chuckle out of the ‘Erie Penn’… Pennsylvania residents (at least born and raised) refer to our state as PA, not Penn. So we would say Erie PA. Some universities, businesses, etc. use Penn, but the average resident does not. Love your videos though! I saw another comment that asked if you could do an international version. If that’s even a thing, that would be awesome to see!

[@curtisthomas-eg4th]

If you want your computer or phone to type it out for you, you have to type penn.

[@jameerickard]

@@curtisthomas-eg4th I think you missed the point of my observation. He kept SAYING “Erie, Penn”, instead of saying “Erie, PA” (as a local would). I wasn’t talking about typing anything, but thanks for your input. Have a good one.

Yes the winters in Buffalo suck. But there's other cities in New york with worse crime. The free thing is just for houses. Its working, its getting new construction everywhere. The suburbs are mostly nice and there's a lot of nice areas of the city. I get it, you hate Buffalo. Please stop making it look like hell. I used to go to college in erie PA. It has less crime, but it's VERY poor. And there's no industry left. Buffalo has a lot of industry still and we're experiencing job growth. There's less job opportunities in Erie than Buffalo. I actually like Buffalo a lot better having lived in both. It's got a lot more going for it. And yeah, we are die hard fans that watch the bills in the snow.

[@AlexanderWaylon]

He is set in his ways he has cities he doesn’t like. I respect his general knowledge tho, for what he doesn’t know about Detroit Buffalo and Northern New England he does know a lot about a lot of shit we don’t. I do still respect the man. I think Buffalo is beautiful people groom their properties and many many many neighbors are majority homeowner and the homes are beautiful. There’s a charge of New Hampshire and Massachusetts and a long list of small dirty drug infested towns with unreported property crime in Maine that I think are far worse than Buffalo.

When you said Osceola, Iowa, I had to check Google Maps, because some of my relatives are from Osceola County, Iowa, which is in the northwest corner of the state. Turns out the city of Osceola is kinda in the far south. I wouldn't have been surprised if Osceola County had a free land program, because from what I saw of it the one time I've been there, it seemed pretty depopulated and economically depressed.

[@phattorangecatto]

There are so many towns named Osceola in the Midwest even I got thrown off and I live in Indiana

Osceola County, shit that has like 5000 people in the whole county. And that is not even the least populated county in Iowa.

It'd be great to see a program like this for wooded land. I'd love to build a little timber frame with on-site lumber. Seems like that would be a good option for more affordable housing that can be built quickly (in days instead of months).

The small town I live in in Minnesota is less than 300 population and it wants to stay small and doesn't want people or businesses moving in. They would actually like to get the few businesses in town out. It's the city council, the coop has them in their pocket

Thank you, informative video. Was there a link for Chicago?

[@aaronmkeith1622]

My grandmother came from that same county in Kansas.

[@clownpendotfart]

Chicago's crime is concentrated in the south & WEST sides, not the east. Lake Michigan is on the east side, and (as in many places) land near the coast tends to be more valuable. There is a weird thing where the community neighborhood of Austin on the far west side of Chicago is notoriously crime-ridden... but then if you go right across the border out of Chicago into Oak Park it's highly desirable real estate.

[@m.e.5482]

Oak Park is having crime problems now. Also half da Southside is considered East now n East of 94 is basically da worst part, plus downtown is dangerous as funk now
