Having land with too many trees is usually not a problem. You can sell a portion of your trees to a lumber company. They’ll come clear out the trees, stumps, twigs, leaves, and even the sawdust. After it is all said and done, depending on how much material they got vs labor and fuel cost you could walk away with a decent check and a clear building site.
Nah, some county and state probit certain tree from getting cut and you end up with a giant pine tree that you can't cut lol.. which happen to me. I had a massive pine tree which I believed is more than 200+ year. It so huge that you need 15 people holding hand to circle it. I also have a massive oak tree. Dont know the age because the trunk is wide but the height is short. Must be due to certain beetle eating the top part and I can't cut that oat either because those stupid beetle are protected lol...
As soon as you buy your land put up fences and signs if someone puts a goat pen on your land and it stays for 20 years and you don't own that land anymore. Adverse possession is real.
Hey man, this video was posted a year ago and you're talking about not having 1000 subscribers yet. Still a very quality and informative video! A year later you have 13x that goal. Good for you!!!
Appreciate that. Its wild how things change so quickly. I feel overwhelmed by the support. I honestly believe if i focus on providing value for people everything is going to work out for the channel. Thanks for the comment and the support!
Great tips! You're right, tons of land near us are in HOA's and you wouldn't expect it at all (think hundreds or thousands of 40 acre parcels that are basically all raw land) and they are very restrictive! Loved the HOA devil impression! 😆
I think that is the craziest thing but it's true. There are HOA's on large parcels of remote raw land. I would hate for someone to get stuck in a situation where an HOA is basically controlling them and limiting them.
Rainfall totals don't tell you much. If you're buying a property near water you want to know the FEMA floodzone classification. That tells you a) how frequently it's going to be under water, and b) whether they will insure it. If they won't, you'll have a hard time getting financing on the land in the first place. You also need to be aware of state/local wetland classification and permitted usage.
Absolutely yes to everything you just said! Great tips. In the video I think I was speaking to more of a general audience with maybe the possibility of a stream or small pond. If you are near water everything you just said should be done before purchasing. Thanks for leaving a comment and helping everyone who watches my videos out. 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
Even better than FEMA, which many say is outdated in their projections, is FirstStreets “Flood Factor” research. For sure they do urban areas, I’m not positive about Uber rural areas being covered by them. Nevertheless, they are online with what are considered more up-to-date maps of more accurate flooding risks for geographical locations.
Your philosophies are admirable. You also cover points that many might not have considered. The trees issue is something I’m having to seriously consider in the land I’m looking at (NW Washington). As for the water and mineral rights - I completely agree. I remember hearing a story about someone who did find oil on their land and the courts said they only owned the surface land, not what was underneath it.
I agree, i want to be the sole owner of everything on my land, like water rights from rain, snow melt and well, tree/log rights, but you not gonna be left with a lot of choices if you are not flexible on mineral/oil/ natural gas rights or the air space rights above your land! lol
Great tips! I would also add avoid buying land that is miles out from a county/city maintained road. The county might require you to have a paved road in order to get permits and if your area gets heavy rainfall/snow, it can become really hard to drive on it.
You are 100% correct! Being right off of or near a city/county maintained road is such a plus for all of those exact reasons you stated! Especially if you are going to run a business off of the land you buy because the owner of glamping business might own a Jeep or a truck but the guest coming to visit drives a Mini Cooper and can't drive on that muddy dirt road. Awesome tip Jasmine!
I thought I wanted to buy land with water on it but now I'm not sure. I'm still leaning towards land with water on it though. I need to think about this a bit more.
Buy your land with water, common sense; don’t build your home too close to water. Trees provide shade, one can also used the cut down trees on, or in their homes. Animals poop (dogs too)! He’s not talking about farming land; HOA? 🤷🏾♀️

Hello & thank you for your tips and info I have five acres in desert heights California outside of city limits so that means I have to deal with the county for permits the property currently does not have an address just the APN# & city water is available however the water meter is very expensive to purchase and have installed, So I was thinking of just trying to do a off-grid living thing out there. Ps. Drilling a well is allowed.
You can actually build your own pond and put a solar pump on it as well as having fish bottom feeders trout and tilapia... By doing that it's an ecosystem. Especially by putting water plants that are also edible like watercress and water lettuce... They help keep the pond clean they help as the filter brings the water through them keeping them watered and you'll always have a supply a fish.

Maybe one day we work together! Regardless though I am here to help so let me know if you ever want to chat, bounce ideas, or have a specific question or video you would like me to make.
I had to add a comment with regards to trees. I bought land in Southern Oregon Klamath county. Our property is perfect it is on a dirt road that is already covered with snow removal... On the left side is a big field where we can have our farm and on the right side is a forest. There are owners on each side of our property but it's about 5.33 acres... 5.22 considering we have an electric pull on the front of our property. There are a bunch of trees but that's a good thing because we are going to thin out the forest by cutting down the dead trees... thinning it out so the smaller trees can grow and We will be using that wood with a portable sawmi'll mill in order to use it to build our cabin. Comes in handy not having to buy all that wood at a store… it is free. Sure it takes work but it's worth it in the end because you will save yourself at least 10 grand on a 2 bedroom house. Especially considering this economy. However since we want to have crawl space under the cabin, We're going to get pressure treated lumber to go into the ground as the support instead of pouring concrete which is what the city prefers. Or town. What are your thoughts on this? And the nice thing is that the land has only a 5% grade at the most. So for the most part it is flat and the only changes we have to deal with is how deep we sync the Poles into the ground in order to lift our house 2' off of the ground. A chalk line a level and some common sense should help there :) at least I'm praying One last thing our property is zoned for residential and farming. We are going up there and living in a bell tent as we build. I believe we have to get a temporary use permit after 3 weeks of camping... I'm not sure how all that works but we will figure it out. Maybe you can come up with some ideas for a video on the things I've brought up here? That would be awesome thank you And I plan on setting up my camera to film some of the stuff that we're doing so that we could teach other people as we go the mistakes that we make and the right choices we make. Hopefully it can be as good as your channel :) are you in Oregon? It be cool to have you as a neighbor! Blessings
Wow thanks for posting this comment! Just so informative. We love that area of Oregon Hope your land and all your doing is going well at this point We travel the west full time in an RV and keep and eye out for land. SE/mid southern OR is somewhere we love and Northern AZ Take care 😀
Thats awesome! I'm glad I was able to save you some money. This is why people should be honest and upfront with things! A lot of videos on youtube try and make all of this sound easy lol.
This is GREAT info. I moved from a big city to a smaller town in a wooded area with a run off stream, and OMG!! The amount of work, exterminators, landscapers are overwhelming. I see it as preparation for me building a glamp site in the woods!
That is awesome! I was in the same boat not too long ago so I know what you mean. First theres the culture shock of not being able to run to the CVS or corner store at any hour of the day and on top of that there is all this raw land you now own that you have to work on.
"HOAs are the devil" You earned instant credibility with this comment lol. I actually gave you some slight criticism in another video but have been enjoying your videos overall. Thanks for the knowledge shared and happy to see you're well above 1000 subscribers now. Peace
Thanks for watching! Hopefully, I can get over the hump and hit my goal. Love your channel btw, I'm obsessed with smart homes and used to trick out my apartments in Brooklyn until the landlord started complaining lol.
THANK YOU for making this!!! So glad I found your channel. I've heard the mineral rights point up brought up from a lot of different folks, but when I've been asking about it during my. showings, I almost get eye-rolls... Like "yeah right mama, not gonna happen." I'm in Texas so it kind of makes sense that the mineral rights are so prized, but not sure how I should approach? I'm looking to buy land for personal homesteading, not really for building a glamping business upon. Thoughts / recommendations here?
We been looking now for a year and i have to say your spot on with your tips . Especially with where are HOAs we've been looking in Pennsylvania West Virginia p upstate New York and upstate main and you have to read and watch and when you check your are a lot of these Big lots 10 acres 12 acres in a HOA development.. and you're right about the mineral and water rights. So we've been looking at recreational land for the most part and a lot of it does says that water and mineral rights do not come with the land
Yes Some may not know this but it's very true River's Walk? Mind you sediment builds up over time & a river bank will either build & push the river further away or erosion will eat at the bank & take it away so yes the river will either walk towards you or it will walk away
yep! People need to keep this in mind because a lot of the people I talk to want water on their land without knowing that it could be a gift and a curse.
Expanding your vocabulary, there's Fee Simple...= unencumbered land. Fee Simple is no covenants, no easements, no sharing, no debt. Your property conveyance and title report describes: Schedule A. Description of property. Schedule B. Objections to title. Title terms are what drive land ownership. HOA's are a specific type of C's and R's. Covenants and Restrictions. I always mirror a title company when I shop for land.
Really awesome tips!! There’s a lot here that I didn’t think of but will now keep in mind whenever I go see a piece of land. Thanks for the amazing advice. Big fan of your channel - keep this type of content coming!
Bless you thank you so very much for sharing I learned so many lessons from this one alone I will be watching all your videos ❤thank Goodness you care enough to save so many people finding out the hard way ❤
Glad I could help! If waterfront is what you want then go for it! I don't want to stop anyone from going after their dreams. Now you just know some of the pitfalls to look out for.
No problem! And thanks for noticing, I really want my videos to be informational first and foremost. I try to only make videos that give real advice that people can learn from. If not, I actually just delete the footage and don't post the video.
So i bought 2 houses on a river in an HOA.... and yeah,... HOA's suck and i won't do it again. I have to pay $40 extra per group to the HOA and also turn in every persons name to the HOA for each group. I also have flood insurance and possible flooding to deal with. I was limited to only building a 10' x 10' deck near the river and i had to pay permitting fees to BOTH the county AND also to the hoa. Projects had to also be approved by both of them. The things you learn too late..... On the good side, the first house i finished has 98% occupancy so far (at 2 months open) which is awesome.
I get your point. Reason I thought this, was when I bought land my first and only time five years ago out in the woods, the seller promoted that the covenants he created will help keep the property value high.
The next video in this series is BUY RAW LAND THE SMART WAY | 7 Land buying tips and advice and can be viewed here: ua-cam.com/video/SpDRZs76Ha4/v-deo.html
I agree with the trees. It’s very likely that we’re buying 10 acres with basically no trees but even before seeing this video I had a line item for tree planting-it’s the long game for me lol. I’ll wait my 10-15 years. Also, I’m watching this on the 1st of January and also Haitian so I hope you have a good new year and had a good time celebrating Haiti’s independence!
Hey i'd like to assist both of you! KT I already sent you a DM on instagram with a link to access my new product for free. Natalie, please DM Keep It Tiny on instagram as i'd like you to have it as well.
Regarding your reason number 1: A pond ups your land's value a good amount and how much you can charge per night. You can also get maps of the flood plain and building 100 ft or so away from your pond is just fine. Plus mosquitos congregate there so you wouldn't want to be right next to it. If I don't have land with a pond, I look at the watershed map and build one that flows with the land.
building a pond sounds like a large endeavor. Ponds and water are two sides of the coin, they can be awesome and up the value of land but they also can be terrible and cause. ton of headache. I still wouldn't recommend it to someone who doesn't have the know how or resources to handle things if they went south.
@@KeepItTiny I see your point. There are multiple types of ponds that can be built depending on your land and it is a research endeavor or you have to know that your landscaper can do it properly. I would still say it's worth the time and effort. I'm biased in that i practice permaculture and am always looking for ways to integrate with my land with the added benefits of my initial comment.
Hi gentlemen, thanks for this insightful conversation. I've learned a lot from both of you from this thread alone. Two thoughts. 1) As Jordan mentioned, there are flood maps and at least in CA, it's a mandatory disclosure to tell a buyer where the flood zones are (although not sure for land but def any residential). Even if not, you can get it for less than a $100 through services like JCP report along with fire hazard zones, earthquake, etc. But also not sure how it works for other states 2) Wouldn't the fishing demographic want to be right by a lake to go fishing? I def see the points made about proximity to the water, the erosion and the practicality around messes that could be made from a rainy day so not sure. Personally, I would want to be by water but I guess you'd have to charge a premium to cover the additional cleaning costs and that might mess up your cash flow figures too.
@@cyrusjulian187 Hey Cyrus, There are two states of money earning mind in land/glamping as he mentions in other vids, there's cash flow and there's equity. Pond ups your equity as a land owner. If you have the money they are worth investing in plus you can charge a bit more for your rentals. Re: erosion and fish. Fish can be stocked. I have an 8 acre pond on my property stocked with bass. People fish on it all the time. People pay just to come fish and not stay overnight. You'd also want to set up buffers around the pond with Elizabeth grass or some other such ground cover to guard against erosion and make sure any trees aren't too close, like right on the edge of your pond to guard against erosion. You can also make a berm barrier as you are dredging it.
Good stuff, very informative. But regarding the part about property lots full of trees… Those happen to be some of the least expensive lots that I’ve been seeing listed within acceptable driving range of where I work. I hear that the average cost to clear the land of trees, shrubs, and other things is around $2500. If that is accurate, then I don’t think that is all that much. But I am currently looking at a .9 acre piece of land that is FULL of trees. So I am wondering if there would be some kind major cost adjusting just for that. Also, I noticed that you didn’t mention anything about power lines or narrow roads. Some of the lots that I’ve been looking at (which happen to be relatively cheap) tend to have power lines in the front of the yard or are situated alongside pretty narrow streets. I would imagine that things like power lines or narrow streets would cause major problems for the trucks and their constructors to do their work setting up your modular home. Wouldn’t you agree?
Water somewhere on the land is good if you are in a dry area and need a well. Basically it is a good sign that there should be some ground water available. Buying land with no well water is a problem.
I truly appreciate you for sharing important information that could save a lot of money that people normally charge to give this information I truly thank you
Thats great news Keisha! Good luck to you and I hope my channel can continue to be helpful and give you real-world advice. Keep me updated on everything you have going on and let me know if I can ever be helpful!
Research research research man. It’s so possible, you just have to be resourceful and realistic. I’m open to chatting with you for free and giving you some tips on your project. Check out the about this channel section for my email if you’d be open to chatting.
Great tips. The last tip is super helpful but I thought it would be great to mention environmental and endangered animal preservation protections. Most states have protections listed for rare animal and plant life. With those protections comes the fact that one is unable or limited to building anything in them. Check with the region/county to ensure the land being purchased has not been identified as a preservation region. So please, keep this in mind when buying land.
Much appreciated! I hope to keep grinding and putting out good content every Monday until we grow this channel into the premiere destination to learn about the business side of Glamping, Tiny homes, Yurts, Domes, Tents and all other tiny real estate investments.
Thanks for the tips! What should we look for in terms of piped water already installed in the land? Like, if I buy a piece of land in the middle of the forest, how am I going to build the waterflow system for the bathrooms, for example?
Hey, sorry for the late response. I got covid and that really slowed me down. Unfortunately, since I didn't go down this route I don't have much good info to pass along. I'll start doing research and maybe make a video about this in the future though.
@@KeepItTiny So how do you manage the bathrooms/showers in your glamping business? (i didn't understand, sorry) Would really appreciate a video about that in the future, that's what setting me back in the lookout for a piece of land to buy!
Very informative video. Thinking about owning land soon. I’m confused about the water and mineral rights: how do I find out who owns them? Can I own my water and mineral rights?
Immigrants and children of Immigrants are generally the most motivated and appreciative people in this country... you are a testament to this. Thanks for taking hold of the American Dream and helping others do the same. This is The Land of Opportunity and we must continue to share this dream if we want to preserve our freedoms and vice versa.
💯 Very good, practical information!! I have been a farm/landowner for years and have 22 acres of clear land (used as a hayfield) I'm considering for a glamping site. Everything you have listed is spot on - also consider the cost of drilling a well and running utilities. I'm sure you've covered that already in another post, but contact the utility company in the area and they'll tell you where they will bring power, how much it will cost and then get bids to run the power where you need. Water - check with neighbors to see how deep they had to drill their wells, and there's no guarantee of the quality of the water once drilled. The lical well drilling contractor should also have information - It could have high sulpher/iron content that make it distasteful and hard water kills equipment and appliances. All good - I am really enjoying your programs especially your prioritizing our impact on the environment and our wildlife... always my first consideration!!
Wow this comment has a ton of useful info so thank you for adding to the conversation. I have to admit though that I am personally filled with joy because of your compliments. I am a city boy through and through so hearing that someone who has a farm with 22 acres and really knows there stuff agrees with me lets me know that I am on the right path.
Awesome video with great tips! Your best yet. I agree you will be at 1000 subs in no time. I will for sure share this with the Facebook Glamping Business Group I run. Looking forward to your next videos. Keep it up.
Awesome thank you for the support! I have been trying my hardest to level up my youtube videos. Not only on lighting, sound, and editing but also taking more time while researching to make the video jam-packed with info. Thanks for noticing!!!
HOA: they are set up to control everything you can and cannot do. Many run hand in hand with the promoter of the subdivision and make money over and over again on the lots that people purchase with "credit guaranteed" at 12% + HOA fees and after a few years fall behind payments, their lot gets put up for auction, gets purchased by the promoter, and so it is a happy merrygoround...speaking from experience of losing 3 lots...
I recently learned that HOA's are actually a money-generating tool in some cases. Also, a lot of the contracts go to family or friends when they need to get work done within the community. I'm so sorry to hear that you have lost three lots. I may have to make an entire video dedicated to showing people the predatory tactics of HOA's!
Thanks for watching. That last tip is the biggest deal-breaker of them all. If you buy land you should want to own the land completely not just some of it.
It stinks to say this but there is really only one website - that would be the website that your local town has set up. That is the first place to start. You can usually find the local laws on certain topics there. If not head down to city hall and just start inquiring. Stinks that there is no one stop shop but these things are specific to the exact area.
I'm here to help Trenaise!!! We're gonna get you through this 😂😅!!! Thanks for supporting the channel, I hope this and my other videos help you out on your journey.

Rivers, Pond become a liability if you are going to have a camping area.
I was wanting to put a fence around my property so I could get a bunch of goats to take care of the lawn.
I just started hearing about this technique! At first i thought it was a joke but it seems like the goats do a really nice job.
Make sure you put wildlife signs up.
Wow! I didn’t know that even remote land can have HOA. Learned something new 🤔
That is a little-known fact. It makes no sense and is wild. HOA's are the absolute worst.
Mineral rights are so important!
So important! People NEVER really talk about it though.
H.O.A. means you don't own the land after you bought it. The Lawyer running the HOA owns your land
yuck, i hate HOA's with a PASSION

Hello & thank you for your tips and info I have five acres in desert heights California outside of city limits so that means I have to deal with the county for permits the property currently does not have an address just the APN# & city water is available however the water meter is very expensive to purchase and have installed,
So I was thinking of just trying to do a off-grid living thing out there.
Ps.
Drilling a well is allowed.
You can actually build your own pond and put a solar pump on it as well as having fish bottom feeders trout and tilapia... By doing that it's an ecosystem. Especially by putting water plants that are also edible like watercress and water lettuce... They help keep the pond clean they help as the filter brings the water through them keeping them watered and you'll always have a supply a fish. But it's important that you know how to take care of it.
I agree with you I would not buy property with a river on it but I'm glad that I'm near one but on top of the mountain so I don't have to worry about flooding :)

You are amazing! You truly could have been a movie star. I love your energy, but most of all I love your tips. My dream is to own my own glamping village with different aesthetics. I would love to work on a project with you!
Wow, thank you Aly! I am trying my hardest and super new to youtube and making videos. I hope my channel will be a great resource to you as you plan and start your glamping village. Maybe one day we work together! Regardless though I am here to help so let me know if you ever want to chat, bounce ideas, or have a specific question or video you would like me to make.
Well, not all easements are bad. For my land the easement was a selling feature. I am part of a Land trust. And I am happy about that.
I had to add a comment with regards to trees.
I bought land in Southern Oregon Klamath county.
Our property is perfect it is on a dirt road that is already covered with snow removal... On the left side is a big field where we can have our farm and on the right side is a forest. There are owners on each side of our property but it's about 5.33 acres... 5.22 considering we have an electric pull on the front of our property.
There are a bunch of trees but that's a good thing because we are going to thin out the forest by cutting down the dead trees... thinning it out so the smaller trees can grow and We will be using that wood with a portable sawmi'll mill in order to use it to build our cabin.
Comes in handy not having to buy all that wood at a store… it is free. Sure it takes work but it's worth it in the end because you will save yourself at least 10 grand on a 2 bedroom house. Especially considering this economy.
However since we want to have crawl space under the cabin, We're going to get pressure treated lumber to go into the ground as the support instead of pouring concrete which is what the city prefers. Or town.
What are your thoughts on this?
And the nice thing is that the land has only a 5% grade at the most. So for the most part it is flat and the only changes we have to deal with is how deep we sync the Poles into the ground in order to lift our house 2' off of the ground.
A chalk line a level and some common sense should help there :) at least I'm praying
One last thing our property is zoned for residential and farming. We are going up there and living in a bell tent as we build. I believe we have to get a temporary use permit after 3 weeks of camping... I'm not sure how all that works but we will figure it out. Maybe you can come up with some ideas for a video on the things I've brought up here? That would be awesome thank you
And I plan on setting up my camera to film some of the stuff that we're doing so that we could teach other people as we go the mistakes that we make and the right choices we make. Hopefully it can be as good as your channel :) are you in Oregon?
It be cool to have you as a neighbor! Blessings
Wow thanks for posting this comment! Just so informative. We love that area of Oregon
Hope your land and all your doing is going well at this point
We travel the west full time in an RV and keep and eye out for land.
SE/mid southern OR is somewhere we love and
Northern AZ
Take care 😀
Great information on these videos bro. I was actually over pricing myself before watching your videos. Thank you so much, saved me $10,000 already
Thats awesome! I'm glad I was able to save you some money. This is why people should be honest and upfront with things! A lot of videos on youtube try and make all of this sound easy lol.
@@KeepItTiny I feel blessed that I found your channel man, you go into detail so thoroughly, I watch your videos while I work. 🔥🔥🔥
This is GREAT info. I moved from a big city to a smaller town in a wooded area with a run off stream, and OMG!! The amount of work, exterminators, landscapers are overwhelming. I see it as preparation for me building a glamp site in the woods!
That is awesome! I was in the same boat not too long ago so I know what you mean. First theres the culture shock of not being able to run to the CVS or corner store at any hour of the day and on top of that there is all this raw land you now own that you have to work on.
"HOAs are the devil" You earned instant credibility with this comment lol. I actually gave you some slight criticism in another video but have been enjoying your videos overall. Thanks for the knowledge shared and happy to see you're well above 1000 subscribers now. Peace
So how do you research if a property is a flood risk? What website or tool do you use?
Helpful
Thanks for the comment!
thanks Bro! This was good info.
Glad you liked the video 💪🏽
Thanks!
OMG thank you so much for the support!
Extremely beneficial content
I'm glad you liked the video and thank you for helping out by leaving a comment!
Great content as always. Keep it coming and you will be over 1,000 subscribers in no time!
Thanks for watching! Hopefully, I can get over the hump and hit my goal. Love your channel btw, I'm obsessed with smart homes and used to trick out my apartments in Brooklyn until the landlord started complaining lol.
Thanks for revisiting this topic. Good stuff as always!
No problem, buying land is complex and it is hard, but its worth it and can be profitable long term if done correctly.
Love your honesty!
I appreciate that! I'm trying my hardest to just be honest and kick it straight to people.
THANK YOU for making this!!! So glad I found your channel. I've heard the mineral rights point up brought up from a lot of different folks, but when I've been asking about it during my. showings, I almost get eye-rolls... Like "yeah right mama, not gonna happen." I'm in Texas so it kind of makes sense that the mineral rights are so prized, but not sure how I should approach? I'm looking to buy land for personal homesteading, not really for building a glamping business upon. Thoughts / recommendations here?
Keep it coming!
Will do!
This information is exactly what I’ve been looking for! Thank you for these videos. It’s even more inspiring that you’re Haitian! 🇭🇹
Glad it was helpful and even more helpful to help out another one of my people! 🇭🇹
So you can speak kweole? I’m from St Lucia
thanks for the tips, we live in black bear country and the bears help draw our tourism to the smokies, so we are not going to shy away from them lol
We been looking now for a year and i have to say your spot on with your tips . Especially with where are HOAs we've been looking in Pennsylvania West Virginia p upstate New York and upstate main and you have to read and watch and when you check your are a lot of these Big lots 10 acres 12 acres in a HOA development.. and you're right about the mineral and water rights. So we've been looking at recreational land for the most part and a lot of it does says that water and mineral rights do not come with the land
Yes Some may not know this but it's very true River's Walk? Mind you sediment builds up over time & a river bank will either build & push the river further away or erosion will eat at the bank & take it away so yes the river will either walk towards you or it will walk away
yep! People need to keep this in mind because a lot of the people I talk to want water on their land without knowing that it could be a gift and a curse.
Thank you for all those great advices. 👍
Great Video !
Thanks for leaving a comment and supporting the channel
Land with mineral rights are limited where I’m looking. I feel the same way you do but it’s getting harder and farther. Don’t forget timber rights
Thanks you are very informative.
Expanding your vocabulary, there's Fee Simple...= unencumbered land. Fee Simple is no covenants, no easements, no sharing, no debt. Your property conveyance and title report describes: Schedule A. Description of property. Schedule B. Objections to title. Title terms are what drive land ownership. HOA's are a specific type of C's and R's. Covenants and Restrictions. I always mirror a title company when I shop for land.
Good presentation! Thank you for sharing your knowledge.💯
glad you found the video helpful! I'm always happy to pass along knowledge to help everyone out. A rising tide lifts all ships!
Very helpful! You mentioned HOAs but what's your opinion on POAs?
I would personally still stay clear.
Really awesome tips!! There’s a lot here that I didn’t think of but will now keep in mind whenever I go see a piece of land. Thanks for the amazing advice. Big fan of your channel - keep this type of content coming!
Thanks for checking out the video! I now post every week so a lot more to come!
Bless you thank you so very much for sharing I learned so many lessons from this one alone I will be watching all your videos ❤thank Goodness you care enough to save so many people finding out the hard way ❤
This popped up while was searching for waterfronts on zillow. Thank you for sharing these tips!
Glad I could help! If waterfront is what you want then go for it! I don't want to stop anyone from going after their dreams. Now you just know some of the pitfalls to look out for.
Thanks for getting straight to the point!
No problem! And thanks for noticing, I really want my videos to be informational first and foremost. I try to only make videos that give real advice that people can learn from. If not, I actually just delete the footage and don't post the video.
So i bought 2 houses on a river in an HOA.... and yeah,... HOA's suck and i won't do it again. I have to pay $40 extra per group to the HOA and also turn in every persons name to the HOA for each group. I also have flood insurance and possible flooding to deal with. I was limited to only building a 10' x 10' deck near the river and i had to pay permitting fees to BOTH the county AND also to the hoa. Projects had to also be approved by both of them. The things you learn too late..... On the good side, the first house i finished has 98% occupancy so far (at 2 months open) which is awesome.
Hi, good to hear your perspectives.
What do you think about land with covenants?
I don't want to buy land where there are any previous agreements that I personally did not set up myself. So i would be weary.
I get your point.
Reason I thought this, was when I bought land my first and only time five years ago out in the woods, the seller promoted that the covenants he created will help keep the property value high.
thanks! prepping so i dont make a major mistake..
Right on!!! That just shows you are one of the few people really willing to put in the work to get this done. You got this!
no one else on YT is talking about land legalities and it was stressing me tf out trying to find any info. lol. thanks.
lmao i got you fam!
Good videos!
Thanks for checking out the video and leaving a comment - good luck to you. I'm sure you're gonna find a great piece of land.

Great stuff
danke
Thanks for the video
Thank you for watching the video 💪
I agree with the trees. It’s very likely that we’re buying 10 acres with basically no trees but even before seeing this video I had a line item for tree planting-it’s the long game for me lol. I’ll wait my 10-15 years.
Also, I’m watching this on the 1st of January and also Haitian so I hope you have a good new year and had a good time celebrating Haiti’s independence!
Happy new year and Independence Day to you too!!! Hope you had a few bowls of soup joumou ‼️
Awww, I’m just watching this and just seen this comment lol literally crying love to see Haitians building their legacy 🇭🇹🇭🇹
Hey i'd like to assist both of you! KT I already sent you a DM on instagram with a link to access my new product for free. Natalie, please DM Keep It Tiny on instagram as i'd like you to have it as well.
Regarding your reason number 1: A pond ups your land's value a good amount and how much you can charge per night. You can also get maps of the flood plain and building 100 ft or so away from your pond is just fine. Plus mosquitos congregate there so you wouldn't want to be right next to it. If I don't have land with a pond, I look at the watershed map and build one that flows with the land.
building a pond sounds like a large endeavor. Ponds and water are two sides of the coin, they can be awesome and up the value of land but they also can be terrible and cause. ton of headache. I still wouldn't recommend it to someone who doesn't have the know how or resources to handle things if they went south.
@@KeepItTiny I see your point. There are multiple types of ponds that can be built depending on your land and it is a research endeavor or you have to know that your landscaper can do it properly. I would still say it's worth the time and effort. I'm biased in that i practice permaculture and am always looking for ways to integrate with my land with the added benefits of my initial comment.
Hi gentlemen, thanks for this insightful conversation. I've learned a lot from both of you from this thread alone. Two thoughts. 1) As Jordan mentioned, there are flood maps and at least in CA, it's a mandatory disclosure to tell a buyer where the flood zones are (although not sure for land but def any residential). Even if not, you can get it for less than a $100 through services like JCP report along with fire hazard zones, earthquake, etc. But also not sure how it works for other states 2) Wouldn't the fishing demographic want to be right by a lake to go fishing? I def see the points made about proximity to the water, the erosion and the practicality around messes that could be made from a rainy day so not sure. Personally, I would want to be by water but I guess you'd have to charge a premium to cover the additional cleaning costs and that might mess up your cash flow figures too.
@@cyrusjulian187 Hey Cyrus,
There are two states of money earning mind in land/glamping as he mentions in other vids, there's cash flow and there's equity. Pond ups your equity as a land owner. If you have the money they are worth investing in plus you can charge a bit more for your rentals.
Re: erosion and fish. Fish can be stocked. I have an 8 acre pond on my property stocked with bass. People fish on it all the time. People pay just to come fish and not stay overnight. You'd also want to set up buffers around the pond with Elizabeth grass or some other such ground cover to guard against erosion and make sure any trees aren't too close, like right on the edge of your pond to guard against erosion. You can also make a berm barrier as you are dredging it.
Good stuff, very informative. But regarding the part about property lots full of trees… Those happen to be some of the least expensive lots that I’ve been seeing listed within acceptable driving range of where I work. I hear that the average cost to clear the land of trees, shrubs, and other things is around $2500. If that is accurate, then I don’t think that is all that much. But I am currently looking at a .9 acre piece of land that is FULL of trees. So I am wondering if there would be some kind major cost adjusting just for that. Also, I noticed that you didn’t mention anything about power lines or narrow roads. Some of the lots that I’ve been looking at (which happen to be relatively cheap) tend to have power lines in the front of the yard or are situated alongside pretty narrow streets. I would imagine that things like power lines or narrow streets would cause major problems for the trucks and their constructors to do their work setting up your modular home. Wouldn’t you agree?
I love your respect for our mother 🌎 🙏🏼
Ohe i'm all about it. I want to do my small part to help out everyone in a big way.
Thanks for the awesome advice. So glad I found you on UA-cam. Learning so much from you.
You're welcome! Thanks for commenting and supporting the channel. I'm trying my hardest to get my message out there and help people.
Water somewhere on the land is good if you are in a dry area and need a well. Basically it is a good sign that there should be some ground water available. Buying land with no well water is a problem.
I truly appreciate you for sharing important information that could save a lot of money that people normally charge to give this information
I truly thank you
Thank you I'm a beginner glamping business owner. Purchased 14 acres not.too many trees !! Loved this ❤
Thats great news Keisha! Good luck to you and I hope my channel can continue to be helpful and give you real-world advice. Keep me updated on everything you have going on and let me know if I can ever be helpful!
How is your business going, hun?!
You’ve got wisdom dude
Thanks for the kind words! I'm just trying to help!
You’re so amazing for sharing all this❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
You are so welcome! Thanks for commenting on my videos and supporting the channel.
Awesome tips man !! I plan on starting a glamping business I Florida but I am starting the have doubts and everything is so expensive
Research research research man. It’s so possible, you just have to be resourceful and realistic. I’m open to chatting with you for free and giving you some tips on your project. Check out the about this channel section for my email if you’d be open to chatting.
@@KeepItTiny thank you sounds great . I will keep up with your channel and as soon as I move closer I will message you for a few advices
Waw thank you 🎉😊
No problem 😊 Happy to help. Thanks for supporting the channel and leaving a comment.
Look out for POA (property owner association). HOA and POA means you are renting and not really owning
Excellent!!! Advice easements, HOA etc😮nooooo.
Wow, so many things I've never thought to consider when thinking about land. Thanks for sharing!!
Glad you like it Gabby - I promise I am going to make that Yurt video for you!
Awesome video!! Thanks for all the helpful tips!!
Thanks for watching! I'm glad you found the video helpful. Buying land is a daunting task but it is definitely worth it.
EXCELLENT!
I know this is a bit late but you should aslo mention the endangered animals on your land that you wont be able to get rid of
Great tips. The last tip is super helpful but I thought it would be great to mention environmental and endangered animal preservation protections. Most states have protections listed for rare animal and plant life. With those protections comes the fact that one is unable or limited to building anything in them. Check with the region/county to ensure the land being purchased has not been identified as a preservation region. So please, keep this in mind when buying land.
Excellent info and excellent presentation. You really have a great disposition! Keep it up!
Much appreciated! I hope to keep grinding and putting out good content every Monday until we grow this channel into the premiere destination to learn about the business side of Glamping, Tiny homes, Yurts, Domes, Tents and all other tiny real estate investments.
Thanks for the tips!
What should we look for in terms of piped water already installed in the land? Like, if I buy a piece of land in the middle of the forest, how am I going to build the waterflow system for the bathrooms, for example?
Hey, sorry for the late response. I got covid and that really slowed me down. Unfortunately, since I didn't go down this route I don't have much good info to pass along. I'll start doing research and maybe make a video about this in the future though.
@@KeepItTiny So how do you manage the bathrooms/showers in your glamping business? (i didn't understand, sorry)
Would really appreciate a video about that in the future, that's what setting me back in the lookout for a piece of land to buy!
Wondering this same thing?
Very informative video. Thinking about owning land soon. I’m confused about the water and mineral rights: how do I find out who owns them? Can I own my water and mineral rights?
Immigrants and children of Immigrants are generally the most motivated and appreciative people in this country... you are a testament to this. Thanks for taking hold of the American Dream and helping others do the same. This is The Land of Opportunity and we must continue to share this dream if we want to preserve our freedoms and vice versa.
💯 Very good, practical information!! I have been a farm/landowner for years and have 22 acres of clear land (used as a hayfield) I'm considering for a glamping site. Everything you have listed is spot on - also consider the cost of drilling a well and running utilities. I'm sure you've covered that already in another post, but contact the utility company in the area and they'll tell you where they will bring power, how much it will cost and then get bids to run the power where you need. Water - check with neighbors to see how deep they had to drill their wells, and there's no guarantee of the quality of the water once drilled. The lical well drilling contractor should also have information - It could have high sulpher/iron content that make it distasteful and hard water kills equipment and appliances.
All good - I am really enjoying your programs especially your prioritizing our impact on the environment and our wildlife... always my first consideration!!
Wow this comment has a ton of useful info so thank you for adding to the conversation. I have to admit though that I am personally filled with joy because of your compliments. I am a city boy through and through so hearing that someone who has a farm with 22 acres and really knows there stuff agrees with me lets me know that I am on the right path.
@@KeepItTiny actually I have 38 acres - just considering the 22 for a glamping site..😉 Looking forward to more episodes!!
Awesome video with great tips! Your best yet. I agree you will be at 1000 subs in no time. I will for sure share this with the Facebook Glamping Business Group I run. Looking forward to your next videos. Keep it up.
Awesome thank you for the support! I have been trying my hardest to level up my youtube videos. Not only on lighting, sound, and editing but also taking more time while researching to make the video jam-packed with info. Thanks for noticing!!!
great advice about the wasements/water/mineral rights! keep up the good work!
Thank you Felipe! I've got a ton of more videos in the pipeline with more real world tips. Thanks for watching and hope this helps you out man.
HOA: they are set up to control everything you can and cannot do. Many run hand in hand with the promoter of the subdivision and make money over and over again on the lots that people purchase with "credit guaranteed" at 12% + HOA fees and after a few years fall behind payments, their lot gets put up for auction, gets purchased by the promoter, and so it is a happy merrygoround...speaking from experience of losing 3 lots...
I recently learned that HOA's are actually a money-generating tool in some cases. Also, a lot of the contracts go to family or friends when they need to get work done within the community. I'm so sorry to hear that you have lost three lots. I may have to make an entire video dedicated to showing people the predatory tactics of HOA's!
He can put trees on the border to act as a natural fence.
That last reason was worth staying for the entire video - good stuff!
Thanks for watching. That last tip is the biggest deal-breaker of them all. If you buy land you should want to own the land completely not just some of it.
Thx for the information.
Thanks! what websites do you reccomend we use if we wanted to learn about local permit laws etc.?
It stinks to say this but there is really only one website - that would be the website that your local town has set up. That is the first place to start. You can usually find the local laws on certain topics there. If not head down to city hall and just start inquiring. Stinks that there is no one stop shop but these things are specific to the exact area.
is there a platform strictly for land for sale and if so what are your favorites
I bought 5 acres and done everything you said don’t do😂😂😂😂. Wish I had this sooner.

Are easements the same thing as things like future electrical lines, sewers...stuff like that?
