People need to start being allowed to build alternative style structures. I know it’s hard to get Neighbors and the county on board with us, but there are some beautiful sustainable environmentally friendly home structures that are not traditional that are better for the environment and don’t encounter the same problems with labor and construction supplies. Would solve a lot of problems for a lot of people. Earth ships are one such structure that can be done many different ways. Thanks for this video :-)

[@valerieann2751]

Absolutely agree. I really don’t understand the minimum sq ft requirements. I am disabled, and would love to build a very small house on a foundation. But I cannot find land that doesn’t require 1200-2000 sq ft minimum. Makes no sense to me. You can have a very nice looking home that Is small! And very quality . It’s frustrating.

[@creativesolutionsart-h3o]

@@valerieann2751 Yes, very frustrating… There’s a man in New Mexico who started the earth ship movement and he actually got some laws changed for architecture and structures in his area. I wanted to contact him and find out how he’s able to get around these restrictions in other areas. They have projects in Pennsylvania and in Canada. Would be worth looking into. The homes are also self sustainable and he actually teaches a program that helps people learn about water catchment and off grid power sources. The materials used in the structures are also re-purposed from landfills, for example tires… It’s very fascinating stuff you can look it up here on KZbin :-) we definitely need more freedom then our home structure choice

[@UserError7861]

@@valerieann2751 The thought behind the minimum sqft is that it helps preserve the value of the houses and neighborhood. Basically they want to prevent someone from building a 100k house in a development of houses valued significantly higher. A house is typically the most expensive thing someone will purchase. So while the minimum sqft can be an inconvenience, I can understand people wanting to protect the value of the properties.

I spit up sometime when I sing of the “land of the free”. The self righteous “NIMBY’s” are very selfish and have no consideration for the plight of many who are just looking to get shelter. These minimums should go away in the same way that prohibiting solar has gone by the wayside.

[@Krazie-Ivan]

"don’t know why people look down on them" ...materials/fasteners/etc are subpar, creating an inefficient structure more prone to weather/water/animal/insect damage. fast deterioration means frequent repairs, which cost a higher percentage of the structure's initial value. at some point they begin to intersect & owners tend to see less cost-benefit, which leads to fewer repairs & further damage & even less value. once you know about truly forward-thinking construction materials/techniques/designs, stick/brick/block homes start to look like junk too.

[@KristinaSmallhorn]

@@Krazie-Ivan when was the last time you actually looked at a manufactured home? They are not what you are describing and haven’t been that way for years.

[@AA-rc4zr]

I looked at them a couple of years ago. They are poorly made and the structural design is very limited. By the time you get the mechanicals (plumbing, electrical and foundation) ready for installation and install, you are not significantly cheeper. In fact the newer trendy manufactured homes (which are not modular old cheapies) are more expensive that building on site. The only advantage is that they are faster. You still have to deal with your local building department, permits and the nonsensical regulatory stuff. Currently, most manufactured home companies don’t offer help with this. If they took care of all the pre installations stuff too, I could see value in their offerings.

Great video presenting critical bits of information. I am an agriculturist and 40 years ago I constantly heard the mantra "buy land because they are not making any more". A developer paid $15,000 an acre for a neighboring property. He went broke, the financial intuition folded, and the Resolution Trust Corporation wound up with it in its portfolio and eventually liquidated it for $900 and acre. Taxpayers ate the loss. Fast forward 35 years and the buyer sold it for $20,000 an acre.

#1: DO YOUR HOMEWORK!!! The state I live in has many rural properties, but be really sure that is where you want to live. Rural acreages are not the easiest places to live. If you don't have at least a 4wd vehicle and a tractor, it probably isn't for you. #2: Buying a place with an existing marginal home could be a better deal than starting from scratch. Figuring the cost of a well & septic system can easily add between $20 to $30K + in cost alone. #3: What are the roads like? Unless it is located on a paved secondary road, maintenance can be iffy. Needing to get out in the middle of winter to get to work could be a deal-breaker if you can't get your road opened right away!

The Government along with the EPA and DNR has been on a push for aerobic systems which is a type of septic system's . But the average price for those are about $20,000.oo to $25,000.oo plus being registered and requiring chemical's and inspection's to ensure the chemical's are being added to treat the waste .

Definitely be wary of any property on a private road or one that needs an easement to get to (landlocked). Who keeps up the road? Is the easement to the property legally laid out and described on the deed, not just an 'easement of use'. Unless it is on the deed and plat, the landowner whose land you cross just has to give you access, and not necessarily the access spot that has been in use for years. They could force you to cross in another spot less suitable (marshy, steep, undrivable). Recent case where a farmer blocked access to 2 properties his parents had sold off. One had cattle on it and the guy couldn't feed his cattle, and the other owner couldn't get to his brand new home. That's working it's way through the courts, but at least they got a temp injunction to keep the easement open.

Thank you. Great stuff to know.

A guy from -- wait for it -- California, bought the lot next to us and by the end of the pandemic the price on the house he was building had gone up $200,000. That didn't include water pipes to his home, electric, or sewer.

Kristina is the realtor you need

My wife and I purchased 16acs in 2017 for $5k/acre. Based on the county and location exploding it can sell for about $10k/acre. At what point is it smart to say ok I've made the most I can make or maybe hold on longer? Or subdivide and sell smaller lots? Your professional advice is gold lol

[@KristinaSmallhorn]

I’d consult a locale realtor the get there opinion as every market is completely different. On a personal note, if I doubled my money and had no personal attachment to the land I’d cash out and buy rentals)

[@kaitlync.5079]

10k an acre is amazing. You cannot find anything in TN that percs under 60k an acre.

Thank you, Kristina! I bought an empty lot last year and your videos were/are very helpful! My current plan is to put a manufactured home on it but we'll see what happens 😃

I am looking to purchase land. I have been looking for a home for 8 months nothing fits what I need. I understand the supply chain issues and waiting but I have circumstance that is preventing me from getting a house that is being built

[@Merlinsluck]

Thank you for your videos. I was wondering if you have any pertaining to those people who want to buy raw unrestricted land to live off grid? I am in Texas but would also like to look in New Mexico, Oklahoma, and Colorado. Any suggestions, pitfalls, or websites would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

[@gailhanks2065]

Great information, thank you.

What are the reasons for restrictions on manufactured homes or RVs? Why can’t I just purchase land and live there in my RV if I want to?

[@KristinaSmallhorn]

Every county in every state are going to have different rules and restrictions. You will have to check with your specific area to find out what they are.

[@Bay_Archer]

I love you. I wish you were with me in this buying process (or figuring out how to buy process).

[@daniels.3129]

This was super helpful thank you!!!

[@andrealmoseley6575]

Probably looking for already built now. Not sure. Was looking for land but you've brought up a lot of thoughts. On the other hand we're not looking to move right away so two house payments would be a stretch currently.

So if I buy land and a prefabricated house I can only live there for two years I have a friend who's been living for years on his movil home

Thankyou sweetheart...great advice

[@Watermelon_Shuga]

How can we use land as a down payment to build a home ourselves without a contractor or buy a manufactured home. We sunk all our money into a property with an older mobile home that probably isn't worth renovating and we need to get into a healthy home fast with nothing left in savings. Looking for zero down or very low down that we have to save for. We're in a money pit due to being priced out of the COVID housing bubble. I didn't want to loose my down payment on a home when the bubble bursts by owing more than the house is worth and losing the down payment equity. So we bought a Fixer upper that is pretty much just land value.

[@fifitis03]

How about buy land and put a all ready made manufactured home on it?

[@KristinaSmallhorn]

Pre-owned manufactured homes are awesome if you can find them right now. You won’t be able to finance it because it’s been moved before.
