- 10 Towns Offering Free Land in America
Thinking back to your middle or high school history class, you might remember learning about the Oregon Trail. For those of you who don’t - here’s a quick refresher. In the mid-1800s, about 300,000 to 400,000 people traveled along the Oregon Trail searching for gold in California…and free land in Oregon. Well, for those looking for a modern-day Oregon Trail adventure, you’re in the right place. With housing prices skyrocketing and inflation robbing people of resources, imagine what a difference it would make if you could get free land - and then build the house of your dreams on it? Well, imagine no more. Today in World According to Briggs, we are looking at how to get free land with these 10 towns offering free land.

I remember in 2007 when I was working in real estate seeing people buy homes new from builders with the intention of selling before close of escrow to a new buyer for profit. The crash was so brutal and fast that I remember seeing a lot of these units foreclosed on with the builder plastic still on the carpet.
Most people find it difficult to handle a fall since they are used to bull markets, but if you know where to look and how to maneuver, you can make a size-able profit. Depending on how you intend to enter and exit, yes.
The enduring US stock market bull run evokes a mix of fear and excitement, presenting opportunities with insight, resulting in $780k gains in the past ten months, utilizing a portfolio advisor for a well-defined strategy.
How do I reach out to one? my assets have been struggling since 2022 and I’ve been holding on by the skin of my teeth.
Don't be hesitant to contact Sonya Lee Mitchell and follow her directions.
Just ran an online search on her name and came across her websiite; pretty well educated. thank you for sharing.

I want my own land
My grandmother bought five acres of Mohave Desert land in 29 Palms, California for $10.00 an acre in 1958. I bought it for $4,900 from my grandfather in 2004. My late wife and I spent eight years there before moving to Las Vegas in 2011. I am moving back in a couple of years to rebuild the cabin and retire.
I am your neighbor. I will be moving into my 2 acre spread in Rosamond, CA
@@paulleckner8235 2 acres is a spread?
My husband and I may be your neighbors in the future .
We have 5 acres in 29 palms very close to the family center on
convoy & Utah 🤦🏻♀️ empty land right now. We bought that in 2012
My condolences for the loss of your wife. Wishing you a happy retirement.
Good for you 👍❤️Grab it while you can. Happy New Year 🎇
Hmmm im down for some off grid living im ready to start a garden and "disappear"
You and me both.
Count me in... good grief the country has gone mad....
Me too but of course these government leaders are not going to allow you to live an off grid lifestyle on these properties. They want houses built with utilities and property tax.
I'm in favor of that...
Me to Grow my own weed Off Grid and live in peace
To combat the negative effect of inflation, it’s a good idea to diversify your portfolio across different asset classes, such as stocks, bonds, and real estate, since this can help protect your portfolio against inflation. I’ve heard testimonies of people accruing over $550k during this period
One way to save your stock portfolio against inflation is to invest in stocks of companies that are likely to perform well even in times of high inflation. There are actually a lot of ways to make high yields in a crisis, but such trades are best done under the supervision of an expert
@@valeriepierre9778 As with an my big financial decision ,it’s important to keep your guard’s up for economic risks. However,smart planning,time management and seeking advise from a financial adviser can help keep you and your money safe and also help plan your retirement.
@@yolanderiche7476 Please who is the consultant that assist you with your investment and if you don't mind, how do I get in touch with them?
@@belobelonce35 My consultant is JEFFREY HAROLD STARR, he has since provide entry and exit points on the securities I focus on. You can look him up online if you care for supervision. I basically follow his trade pattern and haven’t regretted doing so
@@yolanderiche7476 Impressive, i’ll most definitely check him out. I buy the idea of employing the services of a Financial Advisor because finding that balance between saving and living requires counsel.
I am going to look up Flagler, Colorado. They have internet and a liquor store 😁 That is all I require 🤪
Plus legal weed!

Sweet
Cold weather and seafood in Camden, Maine hit the spot for me. Plus, I yearn to live among decent folks once and for all. I live in a state surrounded by intelligent idiots. Living in a small town surrounded by intelligent and kind folks is ideal.
World's full of intelligent idiots and not so intelligent ones too. No replacement for good people.
Camden, you have to put up 200k up front then.... you get the money back as you hire employees. Every 8 employees you get back a third of the upfront cash. That means in 5 years you have to have hire 24 full time ppl. also, you have to pay them higher than the average wage there
Your description of the free land program in Buffalo was 100% accurate. The houses are all located on the east side, which has all of what you said. Being a lifelong suburb of Buffalo resident, I was cracking up at the accuracy!
I hope you'll read my post and see if you think it's accurate. I'm reading yours after I posted mine. I do NOT hate Buffalo, but my word, that is one scary place. Even around the entrance area to the American side of the Niagara Falls is sketchy, I would not want to be there at night.
When he said this town is so boring they talk about garage sales for three weeks I laughed so hard 😂😂😂😂
😂😂😁
NAISHA Lol haha me to FUNNY
I'd be famous ~ I love having yard sales!
Better that, than interminable gossip about Sammy-jo’s diaper rash, or who cheated on who, at the local women’s group at local church. But hey...one gets to choose between that, or volleyball. 😜🤣
You laugh that's why I would love to be I lived in the city since I was 17 I'm 74 yeah I'd love to be there
mine was free, no back taxes, no strings, no requirements. Somebody just wanted me to live next door to them.
Mannnn, that's awesome! What a dream, lucky! Lol
That's cool awesome
rbodell but you paid taxes
@@chukwukosolu jesus christ man. You want somebody to come in every day and spoon feed you and dress you? Yes I pay taxes. What country do you live in China? The land was free there were no BACK taxes which sometimes comes with free land. everybody who owns land pays taxes. Mine are 125 a year.
@@chukwukosolu They were 60 till the tax assessor assessed my home as a workshop because I welcomed him in and offered him a soda instead of telling him to kiss my ass..
Camden, Maine is gorge-o-u-s! I lived few miles from there.
Cold though!
@@CarolReidCA winter is cold but nothing beats Maine for the other 3 seasons! Our spring is gorgeous, our summers are the perfect kind of hot and our fall foliage is spectacular! Winter in Maine is not as bad as people think either.
@@CarolReidCA actually if you dress properly winter in Maine is awesome. Ski snowboard snowmobile icefish iceskate cross country ski plenty of activities if wear the right gear
But what are the PROPERTY TAXES like on an average 1,200 sq ft. Home for example?
@@CarolReidCA it hasn’t been cold for twenty years. I got rid of all my cold weather gear over the past fifteen years or so. The last item was my winter coat which I gave away in 2018. I did not replace it.
Mobile homes can be put on permanent foundations, in fact in Kansas you definitely want to have a permanent foundation because of the tornadoes. A permanent foundation is just a cement slab that you anchor the mobile home too. Much safer.
A mobile home in Tornado Alley. What could possibly go wrong?
I think Earthbag or Aerocrete dome housing might be good if it is legal, or possibly in a bermed Geodesic Dome form. I think any form of housing when bermed is prob safer in Tornado country..
JMHO. You'd want a Tornado Shelter anyway..
I think I'd build an unassuming house and then get to work handigging an underground lair/storm shelter.
You can have it if I lived in Kansas I'd build my house into the foundation not just on top of the foundation
Actually manufactured homes are not very popular in Kansas because of tornadoes. I'm in Missouri right next door we prefer to have a basement to "hunker down in" 😊
Hope that’s where you have stashed the good stuff.
Where are you in MO? I'm in MO as well
I used to know a guy on the internet in chat rooms who built dome homes which were a concrete dome on the top of the ground but it was all underground. Sounds like the perfect thing for Kansas. I wonder if anyone has built up very large burms and created their own lake that would be protected from the wind in Kansas.
I love how he completely ignores the monstrous tornado in the Marquette, Kansas picture. LOL! Yeah, "perfect little town."
HAHAHA
Shoot, you just have to sink a fraidy hole on your property...
M Garcia LMAO Right?
@@MrKErocks, fraidy hole. I like that.
Do a history check, I don't think Marquette has ever been hit by one. If they have a usable elevator, in any small town and never had to be replaced, it's not taken a direct hit.
There was a movie called “Far and Away” about the Oklahoma free land racing.
Ummmm. Hi.
I love that movie .thats when tom cruise joseph and nicole kidman met..
I think my ancestors got land free here in Oklahoma

I can use my va loan ..
Start..New life..
Im down..
Thank You..
Are you single lol
@@slimchocolategoodie4515 Yup! empty nest
I'm thinking the 3 acres in Maine would be perfect for a whiskey distillery or beer brewery. You could also process maple syrup. Do tours during summer. Have a little tasting room and bistro.
@@palecompass3598 sign me up!
foundation because Tornados. These are tiny plots... I was thinking more along the lines of 30 acres with waterfront access
3:55: A two-car garage is a place to park your car and a place to set up your woodworking (or whatever) shop.
They used to have a bar now they have a soda machine! like this picture! lol subbed after that comment! lol hilarious
I had to look it up, because I am a Minnesotan. COL is nuttier than squirrel poop. Super late comment is to mention that they are less than an hr away from two different casinos. Thanks for the heads up Briggs! You are good stuff and thanks for serving!
I made the mistake of trying to take a drink of coffee while listening to this; learn from my mistake. Don’t try it. 🤣🤣🤣 🤦♀️

... and here I was, trying to decide whether to have coffee ☕ or a sandwich 🥪 for breakfast... thanks for the suggestion lol
Damn, if I just was healthy and 26 again... I would live for free with all of this info on the internet nowadays. Back then I had to rely on Lonely Planet info. Oh well... Maybe next life. Great vid btw.👍🏾💕
Wow is this a sign lmao
Right!
@Sudhir Raghu don't forget cooking..I'm becoming quite the chef..😁
If your will is strong enough then you're never too old... 🤗🤗🤗

When he said Plainville I kinda went "Huh?"
I'm in Plainville right now. My dad grew up in Plainville. So did my grandpa. And my great grandpa. Wasn't expecting it to be on this list
Is there free land there?
Move away and then apply for free land.
@Harold Johnson Many people would drive to Hays to work.
Camden, Maine: "If you don't mind the cold, and if you like seafood..." The five states with the highest overall tax burden are:
New York: 12.97%
Hawaii: 11.71% Maine: 10.84% Vermont: 10.77% Minnesota: 10.25%
I hope this helps to clarify why these states are giving away land.
Taxes could be an important factor. Are there any other factors that we should consider?
@@Tyler-2839 being from Portland Maine I can honestly say I’m glad I got out even if I am now 43 years old. Unless you have all the toys and amenities and don’t mind high taxes, state and federal and high land tax, excise tax for your car, emissions testing every year, inspection stickers I could go on it’s a vortex and glad I moved to Tennessee the last piece of America… Yes its beautiful but the cold will catch up to you eventually like cabin fever. The politics mentally enslave you. You watch people struggle to survive working numerous jobs just for an over priced apartment and a 1 bedroom at that!
@@JG-or9ej I agree all the blue states suck and have turned into ghetto's.. Maine is cold and over taxed, the workers have to have two jobs to support the lazy bums that won't. All those that leave these blue states should leave their liberal politics there. Example: Colorado was a nice state until the influx of California residents moved in and destroyed it with their liberal politics.
@@Tyler-2839 Brutal Cold Winters or Brutally Hot Summers are no. 1 on my list to avoid.
Is there an update to this? I ask because Hawaii rail project has been taxing it's citizens harshly for awhile now and it's only gotten worse.
I’ve been to Camden. It is lovely. Charming downtown area and gorgeous library. Friendly residents. Tourists in season. If you have a business to start that will serve both tourists and locals, this place could be heaven...despite the winter. Wish I could go there.
When I looked at the list that was the one that caught my attention.
The I-70 Diner (the place with the Cadillac on the pole) in Flagley, CO is fantastic. We stopped in there to eat and it was great.
I've been there before too. It is a pretty decent place!
@@turdferguson7112
I heard you knew Loose Brea . Maybe it's just a rumor .
Flagler Colorado had/has free land I think mostly for business.
Robert Barbi nice!!
drive by it so many times, always tell myself I will stop, but never have
Every example given reminds me of my last company dental plan.
Pitch: we even got dental, we take care of our employees teeth.
Reality: cost for essential dental work was about $2,500. My out of pocket cost - about $2,200. So much for insurance. I would have paid less in a free competitive market if "insurance" didn't exist at all.
Side note - The last Homestead Act by the federal govt. expired for the lower 48 in 1976. For Alaska in 1986. Some states may still permit it; the requirements are fairly strict.
Thnx
My family is from Camden. It is beautiful!
Hello my fellow Mainer. I'm in York county but have lived in Maines small towns and cities my whole life. It IS beautiful here.
Property taxes high there?
Thank You for such praise of my home state, Maine. i live in Bangor area all my life.our coast is renown worldwide. thanks again for the praise!
@carl winchester I agree Carl, Maine is def a gorgeous state!
Have u seen bob marley ? Comedian 👍🏻
I live in a beautiful college town in Maine. I can give you some insight into why the land in Camden won't go even for free. Camden, if you aren't aware, is where most of the celebrities with summer homes in Maine live. The land is subject to SO many prohibitive business regulations and taxes and other overhead costs that having a profitable business is not really possible. Also, since it is populated by the upper class and Mainers have referendums on everything, depending on what type of business you try to open you might have a huge fight from the locals who hate change. Maine is not a business friendly state. Tourism is our biggest employer. If it weren't for tourism there would be no jobs in Maine. Most people work in places they can't afford to live in, like Portland. Camden is crazy gentrified as well. Perhaps that will help clear things up, I hope you found it helpful. ❤😊
It sounds like the Puritans are alive and well. Nope, not for me.
I'm from Brunswick. You got that right for sure...my taxes doubled a year ago.
Open a profitable business and get 3 acres? Ok start llc, ebay some books you got from garage sales. I made $1 profit! = free 3 acres! Woohoo
HD Warrior I lived in Freeport, in order to afford a decent home at a decent price I had to relocate to Florida!! I looked at a small 2 bedroom house in Portland- 287,000 - got a 4 bdrm home in Florida for 116,000 - was able to claim homestead for my property, so my property taxes won’t increase while I live in it ! I loved Maine- hated winters!
@@jennbass1277 About the only places that houses are affordable are in places like Phillips, but you know how out there Phillips is. lol
I just LOVE Your Sense of Humor!!! I just found Your Channel and it is REALLY EXCELLENT. THANK YOU MR. BRIGGS-:)

I call bs on that born raised in Maine also lived in France four years and Maine is a great state an awesome beautiful state. Lol now you can’t say that anymore lol
@@CorinnaD Been to France several times. So, I take your word for it. I've seen pics of ME, especially the coast. It's gorgeous!
@@alkalinehealingadvocate5617 had a couple of Maine coons a few years ago. Beautiful and the best house cats I've ever had
Camden, Maine looks really nice. I dream of living in a harbor town, but also dream of not freezing my buns off.
As a resident of Maine, while our winters can be cold, when you're on the coast up here we have a warm ocean current so the coastal regions tend to have milder, warmer winters than our inland cities. Camden is a beautiful and amazing little town and definitely worth checking out!
@@coryfinnray48 so very true i live in central maine and also western maine in valley more snow louder thunderstorms too lol
Thus being on the fence huh?
I once lived in Alaska, Anderson has a DMV office, I obtained my Ak drivers license there ! They are also next to Clear Air Force base. Another story there ,,,

The whole marketing meeting for 2 car garages was epic "Make better cars?" too hard "Better looking cars?" Pontiac Aztec! lol So good.

Give the free land to all the veterans.That put their life on the line for us.
Great idea
Lol
They're not offering free land they're trying to generate income through taxation
Well, you're gonna pay taxes regardless, so...
No, the land is free. When you buy a house it’s only part of the price, you’re paying for the land. And after you pay, you pay a tax on the property twice every year. And of course they’re looking to generate revenues, the land is just sitting there earning nothing, and the city owns the property, instead of selling it They are giving it away.

I happen to live 11 miles from Muskegon lol. They have a lot of beautiful areas. But the crime rate is getting stupid
I love going to Muskegon in the summer at the Heritage Landing. Something always cool going on. In 2017 the The Nina and Pinta replicas where there.
The last place is my favorite Maine, and how hilarious it is, I would not have come up with the question, to ask for directions to find the crummiest town, that is awesome. 🏰🏞🏔⚓👦🏻👍🏻❣

High tax properties
Actually most ppl in Kansas have houses. The houses have to have or should have basements bc of the tornados
I'm only a minute in, but usually there are covenants attached to it like, "You must build a home worth at least x in x amount of time" or "You must be employed laying income tax", etc.
Coming from a small town myself it breaks my heart seeing some of these wonderful small towns fade away. I am hoping all our current insanity has a upside in that people are looking to move back to peaceful family oriented communities like these, after all Wuhan flu has taught us a ton of jobs can be done remotely.
Even a tax is being taxed these days
I would love to start up my own business. I have a bunch of ideas but my father showed me how complex business taxes are and all the asinine regulations in place, hard pass for me.
@@coolbeans6148 If you can do your business as an LLC, it's not quite as bad. Your business income just gets added to personal income.

Don't wait go make that your reality...you have the power to do so. Tap the power in your subconscious mind and you will realize you create your reality.

Oh give away are land that was stolen to you. My people screwed again.
@@larryroberts8809 history holds truths and we must not forget our history but as long as one stay in the energy of that you will never have the power to create... you are gonna have to go out and create it otherwise 50 yrs from now you will still be talking about your 40 acres and a mule and what happened centuries ago. The only thing that's stopping one is the limitations they've place in there on minds.
Change your mindset and change your world. You have the power to do so....especially now.
@@vanessamaat6472 I guess Tamir Rice created his reality too? No, Love. It is not that cut and dry. Too many throw this philosophy out into the world irresponsibly. I was on the path of becoming a monk at one time but was compelled into a path of social responsibility. I will just say this, please be more informed and mindful before subscribing so-called "universal" and highly abstract ideologies onto everyone's experience. I suppose Harriet Tubman, Martin Luther King, Emmet Till, Native Americans, and countless others created the reality of Jim Crow and genocide? No. There is so much more context. Please learn more on American history and parallel your beliefs to what has happened, see how it applies or may not be that simple before shutting down the arguments of others from an uninformed perspective. Your comments lead me to believe you are uninformed on much American history in this world of duality. Otherwise, you would approach this convo much differently.
Due to being informed, I advocate #reparations for Black American Descendants of Slavery who have been continiously terrorized and murdered for hundreds of years and who are central to the wealth building of this country, and for Native Americans for the genocide and stolen land.
Yes great narration. I considered Muskegon. It is beautiful. But in doing my environmental research before buying property I learned the west coast of MI has heavy particulate pollution in the air blowing across the lake from Chicago. I landed farther north and a bit inland. 45 to 50 min to TC. 25 to Cadillac. Hour to main freeway to downstate friends. Perfect. Wooded, hilly, and of course lots of rivers and lakes. Smoking deal too.
We used to camp in Muskegon every summer. Beautiful area to have a campground.
Went to Camden for a Groupon vaca once. Super nice. Very low key touristy feel, maybe just because I was. I’d move there. If I thought I’d make enough tattooing there I’d do this.
Oh my goodness thanks for the tips and laughs 😂 with the two car garage
I'm from Maine and it is great. If your a outdoorsman you'll love it. I didn't realize Camden had free land. It's a beautiful town.
steven gibson - I gave you a thumb, because like me you've been blacklisted on UA-cam. You posted a reply 29 seconds before I found it wayyyy down the list of replies. I've never had a Facebook account and think social media is obnoxious. I'm only 41 yrs old too. Anyway, UA-cam is going the way of the future and making its platform a popularity contest. You'll never see a comment thumbed down anymore so no one's feelings are hurt with any explanation or accountability, but the negative marks still exist and it bumps your comments down the list and your channel too. Certain video subject matter, while not banned, is also hidden from the public unless you're looking for it. This includes mainstream religious videos, with no propaganda or offensive content whatsoever. I just replied cuz I'm becoming aware of UA-cam turning out like life in general now since it's all digital, superficial and void of meaning, but we wouldn't wanna hurt anyone's feelings of course. Wish you the best Steven!
Looks beautiful, I'm from Minnesota, and it's full of paedophiles, I want out!!
steven gibson
Camden’s a shit hole like Tijuana
I used to work in Flagler. It's a great little town. The people are super friendly. There are three places to have lunch. Nice supermarket. Thrift store. Auto shop & parts store. Ace hardware. Good bank. It's really thriving. They have a lot of community events. Good schools. A little lake a couple miles out of town for fishing. Golf course that's popular & fun to use. I def be would say this is an A+ community. I had to leave the area to take care of sick family member in the city, but I def hope to move back someday.
Marquette, Kansas is a perfect little town and stays small mostly because of that monster tornado hovering over the top of it!🤣😂🤣😂

Camden Maine is 'Castle Rock' from the Stephen King novels. It does exist.
Who wants to live in creepy Maine
Been there and in Rockland, too. Beautiful area, but overall, Maine is a strange, sort of "Twilight Zone" sort of a state. Have gone up there for ten years to see our son and his family. I would NEVER live up there...ever.
@Rebecca Singletary It is. Stephen King lives in the Orono area. VERY isolated.
Author Stephen King does not live in the Orono area...His Bangor property is located at 43 West Broadway, and he and his wife, Tabitha reside on Sanibel Island, Florida...
@@katemartin8402 He certainly DID live at one time in Orono--that's where the person ran him off the road and he almost died!
Not sure where you got your info from, but I personally have been to Maine at least three dozen times and that's where he lived!
NOW he might have moved, but back then his home was in Orono.
Yes he owns property in Bangor--common knowledge--but he LIVED in Orono. The property you wrote about is commercial property--hardly a place for him, his wife and their daughter to live in.
Not keeping on toes. Keeping it real! Thanks, bro!
I love Maine! And Camden is a beautiful little New England town.
The garage mandate is probably to keep the other home values up.
Yeah, and to prevent manufacturered homes.
"Oklahoma Land Run" grandma lived (after purchase) on the last plot.... It was well over 2 acres...closer to 100
Like Buffalo, NY, St. Louis, MO has a similar $1 house program.
Great place if you are preparing for the snow shovelling olimpics.
@@cevahirlacin9118 In Buffalo, NY sure, but I was stating that St. Louis, MO has a similar program to Buffalo, NY. St. Louis very rarely gets large amounts of snow, and if it does it'll be melted in a couple of weeks with the drastic temperature swings.
Really?? Where would i find that info? Thank you
How would i find out about their $1 house program? Im living in quincy IL at the moment
Thanks for the video Uncle Ricky! 🍻
I subscribed. This guy is super fun to listen to! 👍🏻
I’m so headed to Camden Maine now. Thanks so much!
I'm so headed to La Villa, Texas
One of my grandmother's older cousins (female) participated in a land race :)
What happened with it? TY
I looked into the Camden, Maine situation - It’s toxic land where a tannery was build years ago. Lots of toxic chemicals everywhere. They cleaned it up, but it’s possible it’s in the water supply forever. Also you have to promise to build immediately at a cost of $200K. Then you have to hire 24 people within a year. That’s a lot to take on for “free” land. I can see why there are no takers.
Briggs I agree that Maine is without a doubt a great state to live in
I’m thinking the 2-car garage thing in Elwood, NE is to make sure you’re building an actual house rather than a trailer (NOT a homestead). Definition of a homestead is a temporary place that you just pass through generally for the job, it’s why trailers are good for those places. Sounds like NE is actually interested in growing the city.

@@petrinasimmons6686 If I were better with words, I'd explain. Hint- Stephen King
@@petrinasimmons6686 Also, I did make the statement in jest. But, every small town does seem to have a dirty little secret LOL
Maine sounds good to me! It is a really cute quaint state. Those lighthouses, love them! I wonder what happens if you don’t make your business profitable in five years, besides that you’re broke!
8:03 Husband: Honey look how would u like to move here😃.....
Wife: I'm not Dorothy from wizard of oz 😡
Just jokin N tokin lmao throws him her red chanclas 😅🤣
Move there, divorce her, let her keep the house as the settlement.
I love the still you show when introducing Marquette, Kansas. I wonder why they have trouble giving away free land. The size of that twister may have something to do with it. lol
Build a dome home. Problem solved.
🙃🤣🤣🤣🤣 Thought it was just me.
@P C Dig in! Make yourself a Hobbit Home!

That's the street sweeper
Daniel L. Fletcher Hahaha yeah maybe they could've chosen a little better photo for advertisement purposes
The narrative of this video is top-notch; it is very entertaining to watch!
Marquete Kansas: first image is a giant hecking tornado.
Dont forget, you have to pay for electrical, water, sewage run to your site, your looking at about 50 to 100k.
I'd rather just use solar panels, rain collectors, and shit into a hole.
I don't exactly know how I ended up here - I started out watching Adam and the Ants videos. Anyway, great video! I think you're hilarious.
Adam and the Ants rocks and they have a ton of good songs
I am a poor man with a family I can use it for the future
A lot of hillbillies in Maine
Muskegon, MI is not bad. Pretty quiet and nice for a waterfront city. Same comment for Candem, ME. Good video!
Muskegon is the new Detroit!!
Y’all got a comedian named bob marley living up there in Maine??
0:38 Oklahoma Land Race, portrayed in the movie Far and Away. Among my greatest favorite.
Calling these places "free" reminds me of buying razors. They practically give away the razors for free but then charge a fortune on blades.
My new printer is the library for $0.05 or I think it's $0.10 a sheet. If you have a printer there should be a way to refill your cartridges on UA-cam yourself.
Jon Smith they went up it’s $0.10 for black and white print $0.25 for colored sheet.
@@Quannie26 still not too bad if you don't use it too much. And if it breaks you don't have to worry about it because it's not yours. One might be able to get copies made at a printing press maybe for Less.
Same with printers. Just bought one for $119 on sale a HP Deskjet Pro. Two ink cartridges replacements will cost me more!
@@MichaelJonah70757 UA-cam DIY refill printer ink cartridges yourself. I think they're basically just making a hole in the cartridge and dropping the ink in it through adding drops of ink. And at some places they may even give you a few drops of ink for free. Without having to buy a lifetime supply of ink. On one Stamper I have I just went by the one copy place I usually use a lot. and they give me one or two drops of ink for free.
Alaska has lottery homesteading...LOL! 😆 love the video.
HEY! I loved my Pontiac Aztec!
I hate the cold too. I am originally from up north and I just go back to visit relatives. I ❤ my home now in South East Texas
Informative and entertaining! Love your style of humor.
Camden, Maine has only 2 seasons, August and winter.
Richard Gerlach And the taxes in Maine are outrageous, thanks to the new governor. Whoever voted for her really screwed themselves & everyone else in that state. I used to live in Maine. Now I only visit.
😂😂😂🥶🥶
Must be nice, I'm north of Bangor and have winter and winters coming, but at least have mud and fly season in between to break it up.
That's funny
I should try to live there..I am in New York- 6 months of 88F by sun , other 6 months 88F by a centralized hitting system.
Where I live (WA), we had to put the manufactured home on a slab (permanent foundation) to get a real estate mortgage. Otherwise, it is Personal Property and titled as such and the loan was a PP loan even if you own the land. Does anyone know if/where they will give a mortgage on a manufactured home without first eliminating the PP title? That would be outstanding. Thanks
Just curious, would the taxes on personal property be less than the property taxes?
At the end I love that picture the drone flying through the field
Claremont, MN is awesome! Fiber internet, and good locals overall
“Usually have a crop dusting side hustle” I’m spent bro 😂
LOL!! Marquette, Kansas (picture of a CAT 5 tornado)
😂😂😂
Great info and researched well.
I live in a village of about 300, near Buffalo, no gas station, no mail, I just take land, I even built a castle on it, place is nuts.
So mostly in Tornado Alley 🌪️🤷♀️😂
@Summer Rose You build a concrete dome home and give the tornado the middle finger every time it wipes out your neighbor's silly little stick houses.
Theres a pretty good chance you wont get hit by one.
@Summer Rose you could build an elaborate underground home.
Yep
Thanks for the nice sight-seeing-tour and yes, free stuff is nice but I couldn't live on a tiny
lot in town and freeze my tail of six month per year or be eaten by mosquitos during the other more than likely six months even though Main seems to be pretty nice about half of
the year or so.
Thanks again, happy traveling & take care!
Muskegon MI - great motorcycle hillclimb competitions. Scenic too.
Now find me a property that's free of Taxation and I will buy it.
Lots in Ohio if no improvements are made
@@MrOlson4863 I'm looking for a location where I can live as a free American, not a TaxSlave to the local teacher's union. There may be a place in Alaska, but access is by airplane only.

West Texas.
Barely even any government there at all!
No building codes!
Granted, it’s a desolate, barren wasteland...
Nonetheless, there are some interesting videos about it on UA-cam.
Liberty. Constitution. Republic.
@@basspig Hawaii is the only state that does not collect property taxes for local school districts. Hawaii also has the lowest property tax in the USA, more than 50% less than Mississippi.
Slabs California
This is interesting information. And great for some people. However there are also thriving rural towns and small cities with good paying jobs and business opportunities where you can buy a building lot on a paved road with electric service. Where I spent most of my life is a great example. Not gonna tell you where. There are still one and two acre lots for only a few grand more than they sold for thirty forty years ago. $20,000 +-....it's the house that costs the most. If you don't need a mcmansion you can have a .....oh no....he just mentioned my state!!! You can have a turnkey home for $60,000. Towns near universities...towns that have a solid industry.... natural resources... tourist areas...my town had all of these.....and great schools!! Good luck!
Come on tell us!
I live in Muskegon lol, Couldn't believe it is in your video. Nice parks, beautiful beach's, and many nice campgrounds along lake Michigan without having to travel way up north. It's also a beautiful drive in the fall to follow along the lake shore up to the Mackinaw bridge.
Kool vid dude.... I especially liked the last 20 seconds. Appreciate your vibe 😎✌️
