  I bought raw land over 6 years ago and have been working on it the last few years. Really raw! &nbsp;I couldn’t even drive up, a mountain hollow! &nbsp;My main objective was to make sure it had water! &nbsp;Yes, for those who are thinking about it. Now is the time to buy! &nbsp;Everything he us saying here is correct. It’s not a matter of “if” I will need a hospital, but “when” you will need one. I bought 26 acres and moving there come summer

  The information you offer in this video is accurate and beneficial. &nbsp;I have been buying and selling homes and land strictly with owner financing, no banks, no Realtors for 50 years and right now I&apos;m not buying anything because there are no bargains out there. &nbsp;Prices are crazy. &nbsp;The cost to install septic, water and electric has doubled in just the last three years. &nbsp;30 years ago it was easy to find unrestricted small acreage but now &nbsp;unrestricted small acreage a reasonable distance to medical and shopping is worth its weight in gold. &nbsp;From my personal experience, when land prices suddenly go through the roof then take a step back, calm down because historically a price correction has always followed a price spike. &nbsp;It happened in the late eighties then again in the late 2000&apos;s and I am old enough to have witnessed both downturns in real estate and by the time of the 2008 crash I was ready buy all I could scrape up. &nbsp;It is that experience that helps me recognize the current market as a &quot;panic&quot; spike. &nbsp;Granted, I believe higher prices are here to stay but if you run with the herd because you think there won&apos;t be anything left for you...DON&apos;T! &nbsp;The real estate theater is always fluid. &nbsp;People live and die. &nbsp;Marriage, health, finances are all fluid and because of these things there will always be opportunity. &nbsp;And don&apos;t overlook the big factor; how economics effects the masses. &nbsp;2008 was an extreme example of how economics can change a market. &nbsp;Understanding the area you are interested in is critical. &nbsp;Some places will never be cheap again. &nbsp;Austin, Texas is being overrun by the California exodus that shows all indications of permanence. &nbsp;Ohio is about to get a Silicon Valley do over. &nbsp;There will likely be affordable land available for the near future but if you are not flexible and have your heart set right now on a hot spot locally then prepare to pay for it...if you can find it. &nbsp;Hot tip!!! &nbsp;Learn Real Estate law. &nbsp;It will empower you to make the right decisions and to be less dependent on &quot;so called&quot; professionals who do not have your best interest at heart. &nbsp;Bad advise can kill your dreams.

  Multiple exits from the property in case of emergency or natural disaster. <br><br>We lost our homestead in the Paradise, CA Camp Fire in 2018. There was only one way out, through the 20ft wall of flame. We almost didn&apos;t make it.

  I think the largest mistake is not driving out to see the property.<br>I was going to buy 6 acres in Arizona. When I went to see it, there was only one 15 mile road that was an unmaintained road, full of mud ruts, potholes and 1 1/2:foot sharp rocks to tear up the bottom of my camper van. When it rained the road was impassable. <br>Not having neighbors too close is good, but property that&apos;s too remote is bad! It makes for a very lonely life.

  Raw land prices where I live have gone up almost 300% in the last 2 years. It&apos;s impossible to save to buy anything.

  Good Stuff! It&apos;s probably in one of your other vids but the 2 deal breakers for me regardless are: 1. Frontage on a county maintained road, no easements or private drives. Neighbors change, trust me, been there done &nbsp;that. 2. Mineral rights as well as all above ground rights. Imagine buying a beautiful property to find out later heavy equipment rolls in and you have a mine on your property. Most other obsticles can be overcome. Own ALL of the land and access to it!

  Just bought a homestead with a 4bedroom house and a big shed on it. It had some serious overgrowth and will require a crazy amount of work to clean up the place but I&apos;m so excited to get out of town 😊

  This world really is so crazy it’s scary. This is very inspiring though &amp; I hope to do this soon. Having land is such a wonderful thing. I want to have a bunch of little farm animals 😄. My favorite part of the video is where you speak about legacy planning. Too many people don’t think about the future &amp; what they can pass down.

  This is the part of buying land that doesn’t get talked about enough.<br><br>Everybody can look at acreage, comps, parcel lines, and pretty pictures on a map. But the real question is usually, “What is this going to cost me to actually use?”<br><br>Driveway, grading, clearing, septic, utilities, access — that’s where a “good deal” can turn ugly fast.<br><br>That’s a big reason we built SiteX.
