Here’s another sort of odd tip, but one that helped me buy property cheap once- scan the obituaries. So and so from another state dies but the obit is in your local paper, because that person used to live in your area, and may still own land there. In the case I found, his family all lived in a different state and was happy to sell to settle his estate. I bought it for half the assessment.

Very good info. I bought my first piece of property in Alaska at 22. I was ignorant and foolish. I bought it sight on seen. After I arrived I found out it was swampy and it would cost a lot of money to build a house. I would need a raised septic tank and just to get electric ity on my property would cost 15k as well as another 15k for natural gas. At this point it's just a vacation spot where I can park my camper. Always do your research.

I’m an absentee land owner of 80 acres living 140 miles away from the property. I get a letter like this 4 to 5 times a year. Always a stupid low ball offer, offering 20% what I paid for it 5 years ago and only 10% what the land is worth now. If you make an offer in the first letter don’t insult the intelligence of the land owner.

This right here is why I wouldn't go in with an offer. I'd simply ask them if they're willing to sell and if so, what would they like to get for it. If yes, the ball is in THEIR court to give an initial price. No hurt feelings, especially if they would've said yes until they got insulted by an offer they felt was too low.
@PandorasFolly
@PandorasFolly 6 ай бұрын
Don't be insulted it's an automated numbers game. The company has a computer trawl through land records, compare some factors like is the person living there, has it been sold recently, etc, and then generates a low all offer. They then mail out a 100, 000 of these a year. If half of a half of 1% day yes then that's 250 steal of a deal they made.

I spent two years looking for a small piece of land. I took a large scale topo out and circled acceptable area in the county of interest. I did exactly the method explained here with tax maps and online searching. Took lots of networking and speaking to folks. Made lots of connections, and spent a TON of time driving around, attending local functions and networking. A simple discussion at a barbershop found me face to face with a guy literally intending to visit a realtor to list it after he left the shop......we met the next morning at the property, the following day I took my wife, on day three we had a sale agreement and he had hand money. It's been a year and a half and we couldn't be happier. We don't live there full time, but I know nearly all the neighbors, farmers, etc.... We are now a valued local asset and are in "the network" of locals in that area and considered part of the community even though are permanent home is an hour away. Also consider delinquent tax auctions. We bought a neighboring property to our full time home for a song in that fashion. R

Am a land broker and upvoted, but there is nothing new here and every agent worth his salt prospects in this manner. I use SoS, county assessor, SDP applications, and tax receipts to find all my land leads. I call every one of them. The listings on MLS, CoStar, etc are the result of an agent doing exactly what this guy is saying and sifting through the duds to find the actual sellers. Sure you can do this yourself, and for the homesteading crowd, this is quite appealing. However, to say that it is hidden from agents is patently untrue and disingenuous.

I'm a real estate agent in the Missouri Ozarks as well as a native born "hillbilly" who still lives in the sticks. Your advice is sound if a person is willing to put the time and effort in. Your advice on getting an attorney to close is an absolute must as well, and make sure it's your attorney and not the sellers. If someone does decide to use an agent, they should NOT use the listing agent. I can't speak for others states, but in Missouri a real estate agent has fiduciary responsibility to his client unless he's doing both sides of the deal, in which case he is merely doing the deal and not acting in either parties interest. You were also correct in stating that a lot of agents don't want to mess with rural property unless it's a high dollar property because they make more money with a lot less time and effort selling Urban property, and frankly most agents know very little about rural living. That being said, there are agents who deal mostly with rural property and that's who you need to use. Scott Pursselley

Buy rural land. If it is residential and been grazed on or farmed for two previous years you qualify to make it a ranch or farm. If you farm or ranch your land you do not need to apply for permits from the county as long as you stick to the building code in your county. More info at ....right to farm act. Good luck homesteaders.

Some good tips. But to find the "ideal" piece of property, I think will be hit and miss. Iow, it may seem ideal at the onset, but in the aftermath, it could be a disaster, or vis versa. Many things can go wrong. Bad neighbors, bad industry in area, bad town, unproductive soil, and I think the list can go on. Some of these it is hard to know the extent of a problem until you live it.

Great video. 100% agree that virtually everything you see on the MLS is priced high but.. in five minutes you can see a long list of properties that meet your criteria and are definitely interested in selling. Pull “sold”report to get an idea of how negotiable the list prices are. If you spend six months searching for an off market property any honest assessment must include your time cost (even if you enjoy the hunt) which may more than exceed a realtor’s commission. Also, If you have to find & convince someone to sell they may also ask for top dollar. I don’t think there’s any one best way to find a property but the more tools you have the better. Great video. We enjoy all of your episodes!

Masca Trails absolutely. And with the death tax being high again many will have to sell that property to be able to pay the inheritance tax.

And a LOT of fucking lazy "farmers" (not real farmers in my book...) who are obsessed with machinery farming than having to actually farm the land. And always complaining, always complaining... Would love to switch sides with those dumb fucks... Come live in the comfortable crap city if you want comfort. Dumb people annoy the fuck out of me!!!!!!!

My letter to the owner got returned as there was no mail box at the property address and no forwarding info at the post office. I called the county, but they said they only had the property address as a contact for her, so I had no way to contact her. I guess she sends in her tax money every year? 😔

There is a trend out there where people over value their property. There is 80 acres 5 minutes from us that the owner wants over $400K for. It has a small house and a couple barns. A bit pricey! Keep on searching! Thank for watching!

Very good advise. We did the same thing. A hand written letter in which the owner replied. Unfortunately a realtor had been talking with them the same week and advise them not to “go solo” when selling land. Undaunted we continue to look for land exactly the way you have described. Also a future homesteader may want a region where there are 3 seasons of growing and a lot less winter. Per acre and taxes may be lower comparably in other states, long term living is easier and animals are still eating live green food grown on your property giving an advantage in winter markets.

this is overly ambitious but this is my goal after i get out of college and land a stable job. i’ve already been making cuts and sacrifices right now to save as much as i can for a property/down payment, as well as to finish my education. i’m going for a mountainous plot of land, 30 acres max, within 45 minutes’ drive of denver or colorado springs(for you CO people, woodland park, pine, buffalo creek, deckers, deer creek canyon). im going to take up a construction job soon and that’ll give me connections as well as the skills to make building my own property much cheaper(i’ve already got a few connections!). and people scoff at me for starting my research 6,7,8,10 years in advance but hey, if this will all help me save money and get land ASAP to hold as a family asset, i’ll do it. plus, if it doesn’t work out and i end up stuck living in the city or suburbs again, i can at least have made a lot of money preparing for it as well as learned a lot about all of this. so it’s a win win in my book. just gotta keep at it and stay persistent, hoping for the best and preparing for the worst.
