You Need To Watch This Before Buying Land

[@lorengordon9626]

Been living off grid 27 years . I did a federal patent which makes me absolute Owner and the state no longer has a vested interest in my LAND. Its not property , real property , real estate etc ( commercial terms). I dont pay taxes on my Private land ( classed as my shelter) nor do I need a permit for anything. Whatever I'm not good at I hire people who are. Land ownership comes from all the treaties and conquests and the land is for the people. I am a constitutional lawyer ( not a court attorney , huge difference !) Land ownership is equated with freedom !

[@HealthAndHomestead]

I have heard about this but know very little about it. Do you have a resource to point me to?

[@lorengordon9626]

@@HealthAndHomestead I first began learning all this many years ago. What got me started was the pdf by Joe Stevens finished by Agustus Blackstone (70 pages), Titled: The final solution to property taxes. Then I began researching and dicovered the difference between commercial and private. I have much material on this ( and other) subjects. I realize there is much contention and dabate on all this , but the truth of it all is we can do this process and its lawful ( and legal). If you should want more info I can later get you my email and you can do your due dilligence. Thanks for asking. Have a great day. Loren.

[@simplyshandara]

These are great tips. I think when we see videos of people buying land and living in cabins and stuff we get kind of wrapped up in the looks and thoughts of leaving the city. All the legal stuff can cost so much money and time but you wouldn't know especially if you're young and don't have experience in construction or with purchasing a house/property. These kinds of videos are super helpful so I appreciate you taking the time to explain.

We were very glad to get away from an HOA community. Yes, you might have to deal with less than pristine neighbors, but like you said, it comes with the territory. On my new street it's all older homes and everyone minds their own business. Great video!

[@psychicviking]

Years ago, I read the rules for a HOA and they were lame. On Sundays people couldn't hang up laundry or cut their grass.

[@mattwilliamson1714]

Great video, however, after #9... it's wise to do a few more things... some less critical, like along with electricity (#4), check out how the internet &/or cell coverage will be. Others are much more critical: A) Get the soil sampled (mainly for compaction: "buildability" and get a "perk test" if you need septic)... some areas may not compact properly, and it will cost a whole lot more to build than you'd expect. (could go under #9) B) In Florida (& a few other places) have someone check for the likelihood/probability of a sink-hole appearing on your property (especially where you want to put your home, outbuildings, or livestock). (could go under #9) Lastly, C) Find out if there are any endangered species of plants OR animals that MIGHT live in the area... and IF any are found on the land you want, then will those species keep you from using your property in the manner you'd desire? (could go under #2) 1 Permits 0:20 2 Zoning 1:15 3 Water 4:25 4 Electricity 6:02 5 Flood Zone 7:41 6 Other Restrictions 8:45 7 Liens 10:39 8 Work 13:01 9 Survey 14:25 (Put in the time stamps so I can explain it to a friend... Like your video quite a bit.)

[@santoshdl]

how do we check cell coverage and electricity coverage. what if there is no coverage. what is the cost of getting electricity from the nearest poll. Sort of very complex questions is in't

[@mattwilliamson1714]

@@santoshdl In the rural parts of the US, it's helpful (if you want to know what the cell coverage is), to be-friend some locals and ask which carriers work well (or don't work at all) in those areas. Getting electricity is a different cost for every situation and it depends upon the utility company: it might need to go 100' or 10 miles. Some companies will pay to run the line, some you need to split cost, and others you need to pay it all. If you're paying it all, and it's a long distance, then it may be cost effective to go completely off-grid with solar, wind, hydro, or some combination of 2 or more (again, depends on the situation and the area).

[@patricemckinnie2267]

Yes! We are selling a house (mother’s) in a different city and lost the buyer, AFTER they thought to ask about the internet speed available. Since that and many other discouraging lessons learned (months later), we hv disclosed and addressed every fact possible that a Buyer may inquire about. And given me a lot of education into buying our retirement home.

Several considerations for us as we are retired, would be weather, access to healthcare, some sort of community nearby and access to major shopping if needed.

[@psychicviking]

You need to know if the land is a toxic site, but this isn't in the video. You need to know if there is noise pollution. (Not all noise is constant, so it might not be obvious right away.) You need to know the air quality and water quality. You need to know if nearby there are gas wells, oil wells, mines, pipelines, or anything else that might be a hazard.

[@psychicviking]

Noise pollution isn't always constant, so you might not notice it right away. I tried to edit my comment, but was twice unsuccessful.

[@HealthAndHomestead]

Even in Arizona we don't like to bring water in, that's a last ditch effort. We have a fairly big aquifer system in AZ, granted in some places you have to drill to 1000ft but it's doable.

[@marklundegren]

Very nice summary. On #3/Water, also worth considering rooftop rainwater collection for household use, and if this is allowed in the area. With a foot or more of annual rain at the site, this might be cheaper and less risky than a deep well.

[@sbluhrs106]

Also check for regulations regarding signs. My spouse wanted to run their business from our home and the town wouldn't let us have a sign up at the end of the road for it, unless we owed that property.

[@HealthAndHomestead]

What about access? I’ve read of folks who bought landlocked property and they will always be able to cross a nice neighbor’s property to get to a public roads, until they had an argument with said nice neighbors who blocked access to their property. Truly landlocked, they lost everything.

[@HiddenBlessingsHomestead]

I think it's great to give these tips, so many people I know, found out later that they can't do what they want with their land after moving there.

It is really important to investigate before you buy. Many times super deals are super deals for a reason.

[@sbluhrs106]

Also consider if there is internet access, if that is important to you.

[@HealthAndHomestead]

Very true. Thanks for sharing.

[@TheCookster64]

The expense with electricity is the length they have to go to hook you up. Once you start needing poles you may want to consider going underground. Never buy low and never buy on a mountain facing North.

Both great points. We went underground instead of above for electric.

Is it possible to obtain these pieces of information before making the purchase? It seems some are available only after buying the land.

You can obtain all this information prior to purchase. These are inspections and research points you want to do.

[@yeahrightbear8883]

Another thing is if it happens to be located in the city limits you should always take a look at the municipal codes. Some towns do not allow things like chickens or even certain dog breeds or fences.

[@HealthAndHomestead]

Great point. Thanks for sharing.

[@tribequest9]

Even if you are outside the city limits the city can expand their territory to incorporate your land and home so they can tax it. This happened to my cousin near Hillsboro Tx and she lost her legal battle because the argument they presented was she was benefitting from the city nearby and therefore should help contribute.

@@tribequest9 Yeah my uncle has been fighting them off for the past 10 years now. He's had to read through tens of thousands of pages and documents trying to keep them out.

@@yeahrightbear8883 what is disgusting and one of the things my cousin tried to point out was that the majority of that tax money would go to the city officials who are trying to tax her and not for the actual services they provide which is only electric and nothing else.

People need to wake up and realize, you are free. If you accept these so called rules and even laws, you are not free. In fact you give away your freedom.

What if you don't have your own water? Do u have to build a well? Or where does the water come from?

[@HealthAndHomestead]

There are two main options. We had a well driller come and drill a well. You can get an idea of how deep wells are in your area by finding out how deep the wells are in the area from neighbors or the well driller. The other option is to have water piped in from the municipal source. But sometimes you are too far away and a well is the only option.

[@void________]

@@HealthAndHomestead Thanks! Do you know roughly how much each option cost?

[@HealthAndHomestead]

A 158 foot well cost me just north of 6k. Out west wells sometimes cost 35-75k. I don’t know how much it costs to get on public water. Never had that done. Other options are having a spring or water catchment from your roof or other sources. But that is not always legal in all areas.

Dig your own well, hook up to municipal water, or install a cistern. Check if cisterns are legal in your area. They collect rain water.
