Got off grid in 2022. Moved from San Diego, CA to the mountains of North Carolina. Much more affordable here and living "off-grid" is worth it's weight in gold. When it all comes down, get rural! Only way to survive the "shift", SHTF, Fallout, EMP, etc.

@@JoshTobaquerodepends on what you want. I live outside of Asheville in the mountains. Only a few minutes to the city, but what a difference a few minutes makes.
Lived in NM for 30 years. Glad to finally get out. One of the biggest problems is a lack of water. Some areas that are very rural have had wells run dry and have to pay to have drinking water trucked in.
Wow...how expensive is it to get a well dug there...if you're lucky to hit water?! Lol..and no wonder land is so cheap there. So you would recommend absolutely not purchasing any land anywhere in New Mexico? Thanks!
life in the West is about having water as most of it is DRY. I sold out of CO, didn't want to, but my mt property aquifer was about to dry up from drought. Moratoriums on well permits are REAL. No water=expensive parking lot with view.
Growth ruins dreams because growth only benefits developers, so I chose an area with very slow growth and zoned agricultural. My taxes are low, traffic is light and I have few neighbors. That let me retire affordably and I am loving it!
I live in Costilla, CO now, and its really nice. I wish there were some more amenities, but the peace and quiet is incredible! Im in a small house/cabin on 5 acres. I get to look at the mountains all day. :)
I think about places like this. But, I'm all alone. I think the isolation would make me want to climb those mountains to get out of my own skin. I like hanging out with myself. Just not that much. Of all on the list, this would be in the top 3 for consideration. I need to buy something, somewhere. Thanks for sharing your thoughts about your paradise! ✌️❤️ ~🦋
I’ve lived in Aurora, Fort Collins, Colorado Springs, Cripple Creek, and Grand Junction. But there was one town that was breathtakingly beautiful: Ouray. They call it the Swiss Alps of America, as the mountains surround the small town. The spring mountain flowers are lovely. Downside: their winters are brutal with land locked housing prices.
I was born in tornado Alley! I'm sorry but natural disaster happens everyday everywhere,, I'm tired of being homeless 😢 I just want a piece of land Big enough for my camper and the tiny house I want to get, a horse or two, my chicken's, dogs , cat's, and Bird's! I want to grow my food and live on my own place and not have to stress about someone kicking me out!
No everyone does not have natural disasters lol Esp wind storms! Tornados and hurricanes are horrific. At least a blizzard u just hunker down till it’s gone. It doesn’t kill u or lay ur neighborhood flat.
Go For It..LAND IS ALWAYS A GREAT INVESTMENT..my only "dam"..is Native Land( the whole US but rez life in Apache Cty) seems wrong to be selling more land that isn't invaders rights..but my kids are Native so..I got my in..plus I want to buy 10+ acres and give back 1/2 to the Original Peoples..yeah..its my truth.
I fortunately bought land at the right time. In 2016 I bought a 5 acre parcel in Northern AZ with power and city water for just $14,000. It's on a dirt road but it's very close to pavement. It's worth more than double now.
Most states do permit it as long as you have the proper hook ups for sewage and water just don't buy property that doesn't have those things installed it will probably cost more to have them installed than you spent on the RV
Land everywhere has skyrocketed the last few years. I got extremely lucky and bought 3.5 acres in N Mississippi not far from Memphis TN. It got wrangled up in an estate sale and I didn't get the title filed for it until over a year later. I ended up getting it for 40K which I thought was a lot but I went ahead and did it anyway. Shortly after I bought it the city expanded it's limit line out to the property. It is still in the county but right on the edge. Here lately I have had home builders calling me trying to buy it because it fronts blacktop on 2 sides and has electric and water out at the street. Anyway I NOT selling. That land is my retirement plan. LOL.
@@jimiJames. Roger that! I dont need to and dont intend to sell it. I will do something with it when i retire. Have a garden there and a workshop. Maybe an air bnb.
cut to the chase: alabama, oklahoma, oregon, ny, missouri, mississippi, colorado, arkansas, nm, az... but check the property tax rates as oregon & colorado run high...
@@byefelicia123 it matters! try retiring on a fixed income in a hoa. basically if u can find a place on a road w/ no curb & gutter, no sidewalks or streetlights, & copshops that dont run on huge quotas & speedtraps, outside city limits, not in subdivisions w/ neighborhood associations, & school districts that dont require for u to pay ur neighbors kids breakfast & lunch money, u can keep ur overhead to govt entities low. plus some places allow seniors to pay much lower property taxes & not hafta support public schools after their kids r grown. i LOVE no infrastructure places. self reliance IS the original american way. i can put up my own basketball hoop & grow my OWN homegrown, thank u very much. ppl who live in these places tend to b clannish too, so theyll leave u alone (if ur not part of their clan). another clue: look for places a good 20 miles off the interstate. realtors dont even like to list em, they dont even wanna drive out there to put up for sale signs...
Don't move to Arizona, its turning into East LA. Overrun by Californians and cost of living has sky rocketed... even in Northern Arizona and Tucson. Me and my family are looking to get the hell out of this place, its too hot in the summer time and you can't afford to live here on even a 6 figure income unless you don't own anything and never leave the house or don't have kids or any loans...
Raw farm land is much cheaper than this video says. When you average the entire state, you are not comparing apples to apples. If the plan is to homestead and do some hobby farming, the most important consideration should be average annual rainfall. Rain is kind of important when farming.
I don't know. I moved to 5,000 ft elevation when I was 39. I'm now 64. It's never been a problem for me or my family. I know some people who have visited and gotten a nosebleed, maybe some shortness of breath if they're hiking the mountains or skiing. But if you stay here, you adjust to the altitude. It's the snow that wears on you.
My wife & I watch almost all your videos. We love your style we live in Mo & in LE working in St.louis we are about to retire soon & looking for a piece of land to disappear on so appreciate this video especially.
How awesome..that is where im looking. A acre or 2 owner finance. You happy there. What makes me happy is nobody is there! I wish more off grid living :)
Nice video as always, land is cheap there for a reason. Maybe a companion video about property taxes showing the worst and the best. Kinda factors in to buying land, a home in areas.
You can easily pull up that info online. I'm looking at a particular state to move to and found a page that lists average taxes for every county in the state. The info is out there. People just need to do their due diligence. I would not rely upon someone's video for land purchase.
Now which one will let you pitch a tent for 6 months???? Where is the best soil quality for growing your own food soil without too many rocks or hard clay🎉🎉🎉🎉thoughts? Top ten on richest soil, rainfall for crop growing🎉🎉🎉🎉best🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉thanks Briggs😊😊😊😊
Your best resource might be the state agriculture department where you want to move to. From there you can check county or local agricultural departments or farm bureaus.
Six months in a campground, or are you talking boondocking? Because, as a part owner of public lands, I'd like people who use my land for camping, grazing, mining, fossil fuel extraction, to at least pay some fee for that. Over time, there are impacts, and it's only fair.
I could see this being a good idea to buy land now with the intention of putting a trailer on it so you have a place to retire for a reasonable price. In fact a group of retirees could even pool money and put a few trailers on an acre to cut costs and maybe pay for things like drilling a community well or bringing electricity to the site.
Thats a fantastic idea. Its would be a great step towards being more free but guess what: its illegal of course. Where is the money for the government in that case? It needs to be safe and engineers and other professionals need to make sure that it is an you pay for it. To do that you need to go to work and before you get your money you lose 40% or more due to income tax and other things.
@@mayatuck the big city of Maine is blue (Portland). Outside of that the reat of the state is mostly republican. The state ranks pretty high for 2a rights.
I live in Maine. Maine is good on gun rights, but bad on almost everything else. Crime isn't bad, but it's getting worse. Home prices anywhere within an hour of the coast are absurd. Taxes are very high. Mental illness flags on display. Ticks, flies, and mosquitos everywhere. I'm ready to find somewhere that's pro America and pro sanity.
@@camlong89 If you find somewhere like that, let me know. We are looking in Wyoming as Montana is too expensive. Possibly ND or SD. Alaska would be a huge move. Love my winters so we are limited.
Thanks for sharing this insightful video! It's always great to explore affordable options when it comes to buying land. The opportunity to own a piece of property is a dream for many, and these states seem like fantastic choices for those looking to make that dream a reality in 2024. I appreciate the research and data you've provided to help us make informed decisions. Looking forward to more content like this! 🏡💼🌄
Yeah, but now that Briggs has marketed them, they won't be so unknown, and the populations of tourists and retirees and prices will grow. The other side of these "hidden gem" videos is that "hidden" becomes known and the "gem" becomes tarnished.
It's a shame that so many affordable places seem to either be desert of flat. Although you did have one place that you said was in the Ozarks. Maybe someday I will get to visit the Ozarks. I do enjoy these video's. Even though I will Probably live in Kentucky the Rest of my life. I'm afraid getting the Kentucky out of me is rather difficult,if not impossible.
Hey! What's wrong with Kentucky? We're near Owen County and it's peaceful here. I have a beautiful view of the stars every night and we see deer and turkey frequently. The downside is we're landlocked because I love the ocean but that also means we're spared seasonal hurricanes that afflict the coastline. We have 4 seasons with the advantage of an earlier spring compared to states further north, and our winter isn't as severe as states further north, so win/win. The other downside is driving distance for fun things to do or to go to the Mall but maybe that's normal when you're in a rural area. It also takes an hour and a half to get to a lake to swim and fish that has a picnic area and indoor bathrooms and trails so we opted for a backyard pool. The downside there is the kids are getting older and learning to drive and starting college and want to be off with friends and much less time at home. Sigh. Really should have done what my parents did with us and just put a sprinkler on the hose and made the kids run through it. Now we're stuck with pool maintenance and cost and kids disinterested in using it.
@@michellebehr7669 Kentucky is a Pretty good place and I'm kinda Partial to it. No place is Perfect and I have my opinion on what will make it even better than it already is. And in my opinion its already better than most. As for Owen County, I know where that's at. I worked for about a year as a temp at Itron. I heard they closed down. What's in their now? I still don't live super far from Owen.
@@tritchie6272 We're in Scott County super close to the Owen County line. Hubby works at Toyota. The company paid for him to get a degree and years ago he actually looked into working/ living elsewhere. When he factored in all aspects of life, cost of land/house, living expenses, schools, etc. he couldn't find better then what we have right now. If we move 1 day it's when he retires and the kids are on their own.
I live in Lakeview Oregon the country seat of Lake County have been watching your channel for years always waiting for you to mention Lake County when you talk about Oregon
I'm originally from Upstate New York, Very Beautiful area in the Catskills. Now it is a communist state with high taxes, Can't own a pistol without a special permit/ license. I go to visit because I still have family there but would never live there till they make NYC its own state
North Central WA, lots of 20 acre parcels for under $30K. These parcels have trees and amazing views of the snow-capped Cascade mountains.. Down the road from me is a 6,000 acre development of 20 acre parcels with under ground power to every parcel. All private roads with roads plowed in the winter and graded/repaired in the summer. HOA fees are $200 a year. 20 acre parcels range from $28K to 60K. I lived there in a 3,600sqft log home for 15 years and loved it. Five years ago I purchased 40 acres up the hill. It has a pond, old growth timber forest, a 48X36 new steel stop with concrete slab floor and a 250' well with pump. I paid $105,000 for it.
My brother and Mom live in Franklin County NY which borders St Lawrence County NY.. he bought 5 acres up there back in 2010, paid 5k for 5 acres.. Land is flat as a pancake, lots of Amish, I mean LOTS of Amish up in that area, which also means a lot of great food and cheap lumber. In the summer, it is beautiful... In the Winter, 2 years ago the REAL temp at his place was -37 degrees F.. without the wind-chill... The fall comes fast, the spring slow.. The area is very RED politically.. you will see many TRUMP signs all over up there, along route 11, 22, 37, 56.. ect.. The cops.. I got pulled over one time with my Harley motorcycle trailer.. they wanted to inspect the inside.. I was going to make them get a search warrant, just because I was just going down the road, speed limit, listening to music minding my own business.. It was a local cop.. They held me until a State cop could get there as back up.. State cop told me the only reason they want to check my trailer is for people being smuggled from Canada into the US.. .. WHAT.. I DID not know that was a thing.. I opened up the trailer and I was on my way... is all the local cop would have had to say was just that instead of being a hard ass... But, what ever.. Seriously on the human smuggling up along that border.. Has something to do with the Indian reservations, and all that.. Don't know, I didn't ask a lot of questions.. BUT that is that area of NY State... BTW, Potsdam NY St Lawrence County.. AMAZING Hotdogs.. there is a Hotdog factory that makes POTSDAM hotdogs.. If you are in the area, buy them.. Trust me.
I recently made my first visit to Upstate New York and was pleasantly surprised at what I saw. Beautiful countryside, really nice people and great prices on many items, from food to clothes. Was complaining about taxes in my state, Maryland, and was shocked to find out taxes are so much lower up there. Having been to NYC many times, wasn't expecting this at all.
@@lindabeard7035 Taxes up in those areas isn't bad, my brother with his 5 acres does not pay much in taxes.. He built a huge house for under 70k... NY and NYC are 2 completely different places and the politics and ppl are completely different.. My Mom is 90 and her neighbors all look out for her, take her to church, since my brother and her are 2 different religions .. Everyone is very cool.. when I drive up there from WV for Thanksgiving, neighbors I have never met before stop in and they are simply the friendliest and nicest people you can ever meet.. AND I always go shopping up there at the various Amish shops and come home with a bunch of stuff.. Like Amish make Maple Syrup up there, stuff is 25 bucks a gallon.. very cheap.. I usually buy a 1/2 gallon that holds me and my cooking for a year.. :)
@@nmc398 VERY safe, lots of great people.. a whole different world from NYC.. Once you get out of the NYC area.. It is like a different country.. Decent healthcare, low taxes.. Don't speed on the roads there, the cops will pull you over for 6mph over the speed limit.. But if it wasn't for the cold, I would move there
Came here to say the same thing! Every single "Alabama" pic is of Newberry, MI. Don't believe everything on the Internet kids, lol! It's likely Briggs intentionally doesn't use accurate pictures because it generates more interaction in the comments.... Like right now lol. Plus it's easier and you don't have to actually research anything. Plus, AI can do all the work if you so choose. Dang algorithms and AI have ruined everything.
Tennesee is where you want maybe, but those states are anywhere as affordable anymore, ESPECIALLY Montana, idk how a state with so small a population can be that expensive. has to be more than JUST people moving from California.
@@angieross4780 That is too bad. I just want to buy some acreage for a tiny cabin next to a stream to get away from people. I guess I will have to save up and the next time the market crashes then buy property
Love the video Briggs! You and your staff did your homework on this one! Lake County, OR is way underrated in my opinion. Nice county with a wonderful little town of Lakeview as the county seat.
I’ve been looking in that area off/on for the past 6 months. Thats at the southeast corner of OR, right? I’m in Reno so that’s not too far from family.
@@susanoakley7322 Hi 👋🏼 Susan! Yes, I believe Lake County borders both CA and NV. You would be close to your family in Reno. Check it out! Lots of interesting places to explore and enjoy around the area!
Near Casper Wyoming you can buy 50 acre plots of land for 50,000. Yes, $1,000 per acre. But they don't include water or electricity. It's in the high desert, so it's sandy, windy, and dry. Don't expect to grow anything
Thanks for the vid!! I know all about Perry County! A lot of families have moved out of Perry County and counties surrounding Perry County. I was also looking there
Can’t believe Nevada didn’t make your list! I’m currently looking at buying a piece of land in Nevada & I’ve been seeing a lot for far cheaper prices than you were mentioning🧐
When I moved to California in 2003 the County of San Bernardino was selling lots for $1K and above. Everyone was thinking they were going to multiple their investment in the future. 21 years later there is still no plan to urbanize 40 miles from those lots.
Ty for this🎉 I am looking for land...can u do a deeper dive...of Cheapest land states?? Would love to know..this information by state...maybe top five counties❤.. taking in consideration crime and distance to good Healthcare??? I
NC has a few decent counties that are EXTREMELY cost-effective (cheap)! I've been looking at some nice homes which need a little work (& some that are in need of total rehabs), but absolutely worth looking into due to the prices. 😊
I live in Jersey! The land here is ridiculously expensive, like $100k-$200k, for a lot that’s probably a half acre or less! 2 years ago, my wife and I bought a half acre in South Carolina for $2k. We built our house and plan on moving in 2 years! Today the same size lot, in SC is north of $25k-30k😳
Surprised that WV is not on this list Somewhat surprised that New York is on this list Still willing to use Binghamton as a benchmark for place to live as population for me
Yes, close to where I live you can buy 68 acres of mountainside (Berkeley County area) for 400k.. I think that works out to 5k an acre.. And if you go out to the Fort Ashby area, it is even much cheaper..
Yes, we can get land cheap here in certain areas of New York State. However, the taxes are awful. The minute you build something, get ready for a decent increase. If you build within the lines of Adirondack Park, prepare to be bogged down with a long approval process.
NY should pay ppl to live there! It’s a horror place I was there till 55. Tried getting out for a decade before I made it I can’t believe it’s cheap land anywhere in that state! But if it were freeeee I wouldn’t touch it. NY will eat u alive.
There is and has been for ages, (TONS) of land for sale in Culberson county texas well under $1,000 per acre. Even in Crockett county Texas the land is around $1,000 give or take a few hundred per acre. I have seen some land in Van Horn as low as $350 per acre in 2023 and in Ozona as low as $847 per acre.

We got a 3 bdrm craftsman on a fenced and gated acre with a barn & greenhouse on the northshore across from New Orleans for only $35K in early 2018. Crime is practically nonexistant where we are and the schools are amazing. Sometimes ya just get lucky
In early 2020, Acres upon acres for sale at $1000 per, in Yucca AZ and for 20 miles South, off the paved roads. Bone dry, when the February rains come, the tops of the electric poles get wet, but not the bottom. Stand under a storm burst, and just catch cool air.
I live in Apache county and you can buy 40 acers for about $16,000 on payments, just where the land is I don't know because I never looked into it. I already own a house and some land here.
South of I-40 north of US-60. I know, I know that's a lot of area. Not a lot of peeps in it though. Two tiny Grocery stores one in Concho the other in St Johns, 27 miles to a real Grocery from where I live 45 to the nearest Wally World. But ultra peaceful. Did surprise me it was on the list till I read another poster stating trees add value.
i looked at 40 acres up in Chevlon Canyon Ranches not too long ago. very scrubby, but a parcel i saw for $32k backed a canyon and was absolutely stunning.
I'm actually surprised that NE Kansas didn't make the list. I've been watching land there for a couple years and even though prices have increased significantly you can still find land for about $7000/ac. I'm hoping it'll go back down to closer to $4500/ac sooner rather than later.
I heard you state two times that Arkansas had a lot of problems. To be clear, I like your videos but to make statements like above, not just once but twice, without stating facts to support the disparaging remarks, is less than genuine. I am not from Arkansas but lived there 15 years and it’certainly has it all over states like Oregon & New York, that you commented on.
I bought 2.5 acres in Bonanza OR for $12k in Klamath Falls Estates. Undeveloped and some lots have electric but mine didn't. So thats about $4,800 an acre.
wife and i bought 2.27 acres of land in NE Nevada earlier this year for 6k.. $47 a year in property taxes.. going to put a RV on it and a shed.. going off grid next April.. cant wait!
I especially like this video as I am considering homesteading, don’t think I’ve seen a video where you show locations where parking or living out of a rv is allowed long term. I know in Colorado you have to be in a special zoned area.
I'm curious what data sources you use for helping you to find the cheap land/houses/etc? I can find some information if I'm looking in a specific area, but finding it say accross a state or accross the US I'm not sure how that's done.
trulia & redfin. get zip codes online for every county ur interested in then scour those zips. beats the hell outta paying mortgages for 30 years. time spent on research saves years of unnecessary payments
About New York State, because of the low land prices in certain areas, Amish are moving in. New York has the fifth largest Amish population in the United States now (after Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, and Wisconsin). St. Lawrence county is one of those areas.
Living in Apache County Az, it is 30 miles to water and 2 foot from Hell. Born and raised in Az. Next to New Mexico, I won't be going back any time in the next 400 years. The water table is nonexistent and winters are brutal.
Just an FYI good deals are still out there. I just purchased 36 acres in Oklahoma surrounded by big ranches on a paved road and is fenced. It has a great view of the valley with no house in sight. 15 min. from Henrietta that has everything one hour from OKC 20 min to Lake Eufaula. It has a pond plenty of wild game. deer turkey hogs two nice fields that i just put in food plots and tower blind . nearest neighbor is 2 miles away. electric available I paid $3,200.00 an acre.
I live in the Mid-Atlantic region, Southern State in the Union, The Commonwealth of Virginia in the most expensive county Fairfax County, living there is a struggle but well worth it!
OMG. I could never live in that much cold for so many months each year. Maybe a month or two in the 20-40 degree range, but more than like three days below that...
So now I have he idea of buying some small tracks of land in some of these states and fortifying the properties with septic , well and electric hook as well and a concrete pad to park the 5th wheel RV we are buying on. I do not really want to pay crazy prices at resorts to take our vacations. I is a win win for me.
You could be my land neighbor in beatty oregon. I noticed a few lots down they got an acre and a half of land for $7500. Even has some pine trees on the property. 🤪👍
One should keep in mind that things are usually only cheep when the people with money don't want them, because there are too hot , too cold. not enough water.
No, Most people BUY Sheds and put them on the land to Convert to a Home.. But that (EXAMPLE ONLY) $20,000 Shed by the time they pay it off is now $40,000 after all the Interest paid and can NOT Convert it or Anything else UNTIL it is Paid Off and Usually have them Reposed.. OR they could Learn to Build the Same Size Shed for Less than Half and use the Half they Save to Put into Converting it.
Thumbs up for effort. These are all realtor prices. Realtor and vacant land go together like booze and Corvettes. Move the decimal point and I still won't buy. The magic only happens when you get realtors and similar out of the picture. A non-realtor price is a ranch price.
I live in new york state and firmly believe that the city should be classified as a separate entity I mean they consider themselves separately when it comes to pistol permits a nys permit isn't valid in nyc
Mora as used in this case is Spanish for Mulberry although it is thought Mora , the river, the town, and eventually the county appear to have taken their name from the family name Mora, borne by several of the settlers
Mora, NM has a lot of Spaniards who made settlements in 1500’s. It is also the last stand for Apache Indians in the old west. The nearest grocery store/Walmart is in Las Vegas, NM. Guess residents go to Walmart once a week?
Two questions: 1 Should the government allow the Chinese to buy up American farmland? 2. Should the government restrict who farmers can sell their land to?
@WorldAccordingToBriggs so the Chinese should be allowed to by farmland, but the government should be allowed to restrict farmland from being sold to the Chinese. Huh???????
No and yes. Chinese should be eased out of their U.S. assets but corporations should be prevented from buying more farmland, controlling the food supply, growing inferior, less wholesome, poisoned products, and concentrating the wealthm even more dangerously further.
This is a blatantly racist question. I would be open to restrictions or even a ban on the ownership of US real estate by other than US citizens regardless where they are from. The government already does restrict to whom farmers can sell their land. For example, nineteen states have laws that prohibit or limit corporate ownership of farm property: Arkansas, Florida, Idaho, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Louisiana, Minnesota, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Tennessee, Utah, Virginia, and Wisconsin. Interesting to note that most of the states on this list are "freedom loving" red states.
Selling a 9 acre farm land (20 minutes away from sea and near the market road) here in the Philippines for only $11 per square meter (with clean title). If you want, I can show you around to check the area.
Got off grid in 2022. Moved from San Diego, CA to the mountains of North Carolina. Much more affordable here and living "off-grid" is worth it's weight in gold. When it all comes down, get rural! Only way to survive the "shift", SHTF, Fallout, EMP, etc.

@@JoshTobaquerodepends on what you want. I live outside of Asheville in the mountains. Only a few minutes to the city, but what a difference a few minutes makes.
Lived in NM for 30 years. Glad to finally get out. One of the biggest problems is a lack of water. Some areas that are very rural have had wells run dry and have to pay to have drinking water trucked in.
Same here. I got tired of the droughts and fires. My favorite place burned last year in the Calf Canyon fire.
NM is a welfare state
Wow...how expensive is it to get a well dug there...if you're lucky to hit water?! Lol..and no wonder land is so cheap there. So you would recommend absolutely not purchasing any land anywhere in New Mexico? Thanks!
I mean, it’s a desert state. I don’t understand people who complain and freak out about water shortages in states that have dry ecosystems.
life in the West is about having water as most of it is DRY. I sold out of CO, didn't want to, but my mt property aquifer was about to dry up from drought. Moratoriums on well permits are REAL. No water=expensive parking lot with view.
Growth ruins dreams because growth only benefits developers, so I chose an area with very slow growth and zoned agricultural. My taxes are low, traffic is light and I have few neighbors. That let me retire affordably and I am loving it!
Where did you retire? Please don’t keep it a secret😊
growth only benefits developers? What are you on about you lunatic?!

I live in Costilla, CO now, and its really nice. I wish there were some more amenities, but the peace and quiet is incredible! Im in a small house/cabin on 5 acres. I get to look at the mountains all day. :)
I think about places like this. But, I'm all alone. I think the isolation would make me want to climb those mountains to get out of my own skin. I like hanging out with myself. Just not that much.
Of all on the list, this would be in the top 3 for consideration. I need to buy something, somewhere.

Go For It..LAND IS ALWAYS A GREAT INVESTMENT..my only "dam"..is Native Land( the whole US but rez life in Apache Cty) seems wrong to be selling more land that isn't invaders rights..but my kids are Native so..I got my in..plus I want to buy 10+ acres and give back 1/2 to the Original Peoples..yeah..its my truth.
Do a search. Honestly. Five acres is enough for a decent homestead. Do research. If can happen.
I fortunately bought land at the right time. In 2016 I bought a 5 acre parcel in Northern AZ with power and city water for just $14,000. It's on a dirt road but it's very close to pavement. It's worth more than double now.
You did good!
Wow that's amazing 👏🏽
Holy cow, that's awesome!
Thats amazing, killed it, My folks moved to northern AZ years ago, they love it. Is there alot more water up in northern az compared to southern
If this insane ekonomy is any indication, the right time is coming.. more will be homeless, prices will crater.
Would you consider doing another video for land sales that permit full-time residency in one’s rv? 🚌
That would be tough as each county has different laws and ordinances. Maybe if you find a lot for sale call the realtor and ask if RV use is okay.?
Most states do permit it as long as you have the proper hook ups for sewage and water just don't buy property that doesn't have those things installed it will probably cost more to have them installed than you spent on the RV
@josephfuller6229 do they have to be hooked up to your RV?
@@josephfuller6229Some jurisdictions require a septic hookup. Others only allow part time occupancy for a RV, not year round.
Land everywhere has skyrocketed the last few years. I got extremely lucky and bought 3.5 acres in N Mississippi not far from Memphis TN. It got wrangled up in an estate sale and I didn't get the title filed for it until over a year later. I ended up getting it for 40K which I thought was a lot but I went ahead and did it anyway. Shortly after I bought it the city expanded it's limit line out to the property. It is still in the county but right on the edge. Here lately I have had home builders calling me trying to buy it because it fronts blacktop on 2 sides and has electric and water out at the street. Anyway I NOT selling. That land is my retirement plan. LOL.
That is great and I hope they don't hike up taxes for you! If they do, you can complain and sometimes they will change the estimated value! Have fun!
please keep it!
@@jimiJames. Roger that! I dont need to and dont intend to sell it. I will do something with it when i retire. Have a garden there and a workshop. Maybe an air bnb.
This is a kind of story we all love to hear. Congrat 🎉
@@AhJodiechina will bought him out 😆
cut to the chase: alabama, oklahoma, oregon, ny, missouri, mississippi, colorado, arkansas, nm, az... but check the property tax rates as oregon & colorado run high...
@@byefelicia123 it matters! try retiring on a fixed income in a hoa. basically if u can find a place on a road w/ no curb & gutter, no sidewalks or streetlights, & copshops that dont run on huge quotas & speedtraps, outside city limits, not in subdivisions w/ neighborhood associations, & school districts that dont require for u to pay ur neighbors kids breakfast & lunch money, u can keep ur overhead to govt entities low. plus some places allow seniors to pay much lower property taxes & not hafta support public schools after their kids r grown. i LOVE no infrastructure places. self reliance IS the original american way. i can put up my own basketball hoop & grow my OWN homegrown, thank u very much. ppl who live in these places tend to b clannish too, so theyll leave u alone (if ur not part of their clan). another clue: look for places a good 20 miles off the interstate. realtors dont even like to list em, they dont even wanna drive out there to put up for sale signs...
Check the EPA doesn’t have it classified as wetlands or protection for a species
Don't move to Arizona, its turning into East LA. Overrun by Californians and cost of living has sky rocketed... even in Northern Arizona and Tucson. Me and my family are looking to get the hell out of this place, its too hot in the summer time and you can't afford to live here on even a 6 figure income unless you don't own anything and never leave the house or don't have kids or any loans...
And the natural disasters. And insurance rates. And tax rates
Thank you the information😊
Raw farm land is much cheaper than this video says. When you average the entire state, you are not comparing apples to apples. If the plan is to homestead and do some hobby farming, the most important consideration should be average annual rainfall. Rain is kind of important when farming.
Always check elevation! Above 5000 feet can be a challenge with breathing for some.
and that would include the land in Apache Cty, AZ, Mora Cty, NM and Costilla Cty, CO. but it's beautiful land in all three places.
I don't know. I moved to 5,000 ft elevation when I was 39. I'm now 64. It's never been a problem for me or my family. I know some people who have visited and gotten a nosebleed, maybe some shortness of breath if they're hiking the mountains or skiing. But if you stay here, you adjust to the altitude. It's the snow that wears on you.
@@izzytoons I do best at HIGH altitude 9k I could trek faster, and had more energy than ever.
actually looking for higher elevations
I’ve personally experienced this, I’m just above 6000’ in Apache County
My wife & I watch almost all your videos. We love your style we live in Mo & in LE working in St.louis we are about to retire soon & looking for a piece of land to disappear on so appreciate this video especially.
In August I bought in Apache County. My land has beautiful views, trees, and great temperatures. Cost, $777/acre.
around Concho?
@@PhxVanguard yes, in Concho
Any issues with water there?
How awesome..that is where im looking. A acre or 2 owner finance. You happy there. What makes me happy is nobody is there! I wish more off grid living :)
@carolinasoulshine8949 there is both alone and together as you wish, stop by.
Most of these locations are in tornado alley. 😓
Would Hobbit holes survive? 🤔
And many of us would rather risk a tornado vs a million acre wildfire like Dixie out here in CA 😆
Reason it is cheap… Undesirable to many. How it works
It’s not the tornadoes as much as it is the mental acuity of the residents.
No extra charge !
How about making a similar list for cheap agricultural land use?
Thanks for the info and for the entertainment
Great insights! Planning my future homestead, so this is super helpful. Excited to explore these affordable states. Thanks for the tips
Nice video as always, land is cheap there for a reason. Maybe a companion video about property taxes showing the worst and the best. Kinda factors in to buying land, a home in areas.
You can easily pull up that info online. I'm looking at a particular state to move to and found a page that lists average taxes for every county in the state. The info is out there. People just need to do their due diligence. I would not rely upon someone's video for land purchase.
40 acres in apache County AZ. 21,000$ above 7000 ft. Hard winds and hard living WORTH IT ❤
Now which one will let you pitch a tent for 6 months???? Where is the best soil quality for growing your own food soil without too many rocks or hard clay🎉🎉🎉🎉thoughts? Top ten on richest soil, rainfall for crop growing🎉🎉🎉🎉best🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉thanks Briggs😊😊😊😊
Would love to know too
Your best resource might be the state agriculture department where you want to move to. From there you can check county or local agricultural departments or farm bureaus.
Six months in a campground, or are you talking boondocking? Because, as a part owner of public lands, I'd like people who use my land for camping, grazing, mining, fossil fuel extraction, to at least pay some fee for that. Over time, there are impacts, and it's only fair.
@@izzytoonsnot ur land
He wants to buy land lol
I could see this being a good idea to buy land now with the intention of putting a trailer on it so you have a place to retire for a reasonable price. In fact a group of retirees could even pool money and put a few trailers on an acre to cut costs and maybe pay for things like drilling a community well or bringing electricity to the site.
You just described slab City 😅
@@NixonAngelo at least they have somewhere to stay.
Thats a fantastic idea. Its would be a great step towards being more free but guess what: its illegal of course. Where is the money for the government in that case? It needs to be safe and engineers and other professionals need to make sure that it is an you pay for it. To do that you need to go to work and before you get your money you lose 40% or more due to income tax and other things.
I bought 135 acres in Maine for $915 per acre. Aroostook county and it's not an off grid site.
Is Maine a blue state? I'm in CT looking to get out of this dictatorship but don't want to move to another.
@@mayatuckfor context: Maine has 2 democrats in the US house, but the senate is 1 independent and one republican. Take that as you will.
@@mayatuck the big city of Maine is blue (Portland). Outside of that the reat of the state is mostly republican. The state ranks pretty high for 2a rights.
I live in Maine. Maine is good on gun rights, but bad on almost everything else. Crime isn't bad, but it's getting worse. Home prices anywhere within an hour of the coast are absurd. Taxes are very high. Mental illness flags on display. Ticks, flies, and mosquitos everywhere. I'm ready to find somewhere that's pro America and pro sanity.
@@camlong89 If you find somewhere like that, let me know. We are looking in Wyoming as Montana is too expensive. Possibly ND or SD. Alaska would be a huge move. Love my winters so we are limited.
Thanks for sharing this insightful video! It's always great to explore affordable options when it comes to buying land. The opportunity to own a piece of property is a dream for many, and these states seem like fantastic choices for those looking to make that dream a reality in 2024. I appreciate the research and data you've provided to help us make informed decisions. Looking forward to more content like this! 🏡💼🌄
Yeah, but now that Briggs has marketed them, they won't be so unknown, and the populations of tourists and retirees and prices will grow. The other side of these "hidden gem" videos is that "hidden" becomes known and the "gem" becomes tarnished.
ALWAYS read about water rights, and talk to the locals about the area. Never buy blind. Find out the history so you know what you are buying.
@@savannahsmiles1797 very sage advice. 👍
It's a shame that so many affordable places seem to either be desert of flat. Although you did have one place that you said was in the Ozarks. Maybe someday I will get to visit the Ozarks. I do enjoy these video's. Even though I will Probably live in Kentucky the Rest of my life. I'm afraid getting the Kentucky out of me is rather difficult,if not impossible.
I only visited Kentucky for a couple of days, but it felt like a home away from home for me.
Hey! What's wrong with Kentucky? We're near Owen County and it's peaceful here. I have a beautiful view of the stars every night and we see deer and turkey frequently. The downside is we're landlocked because I love the ocean but that also means we're spared seasonal hurricanes that afflict the coastline. We have 4 seasons with the advantage of an earlier spring compared to states further north, and our winter isn't as severe as states further north, so win/win. The other downside is driving distance for fun things to do or to go to the Mall but maybe that's normal when you're in a rural area. It also takes an hour and a half to get to a lake to swim and fish that has a picnic area and indoor bathrooms and trails so we opted for a backyard pool. The downside there is the kids are getting older and learning to drive and starting college and want to be off with friends and much less time at home. Sigh. Really should have done what my parents did with us and just put a sprinkler on the hose and made the kids run through it. Now we're stuck with pool maintenance and cost and kids disinterested in using it.
@@michellebehr7669 Kentucky is a Pretty good place and I'm kinda Partial to it. No place is Perfect and I have my opinion on what will make it even better than it already is. And in my opinion its already better than most. As for Owen County, I know where that's at. I worked for about a year as a temp at Itron. I heard they closed down. What's in their now? I still don't live super far from Owen.
@@tritchie6272 We're in Scott County super close to the Owen County line. Hubby works at Toyota. The company paid for him to get a degree and years ago he actually looked into working/ living elsewhere. When he factored in all aspects of life, cost of land/house, living expenses, schools, etc. he couldn't find better then what we have right now. If we move 1 day it's when he retires and the kids are on their own.

North Central WA, lots of 20 acre parcels for under $30K. These parcels have trees and amazing views of the snow-capped Cascade mountains.. Down the road from me is a 6,000 acre development of 20 acre parcels with under ground power to every parcel. All private roads with roads plowed in the winter and graded/repaired in the summer. HOA fees are $200 a year. 20 acre parcels range from $28K to 60K. I lived there in a 3,600sqft log home for 15 years and loved it. Five years ago I purchased 40 acres up the hill. It has a pond, old growth timber forest, a 48X36 new steel stop with concrete slab floor and a 250' well with pump. I paid $105,000 for it.
What city in WA are the 20 acre parcels? I would like to buy one
My brother and Mom live in Franklin County NY which borders St Lawrence County NY.. he bought 5 acres up there back in 2010, paid 5k for 5 acres.. Land is flat as a pancake, lots of Amish, I mean LOTS of Amish up in that area, which also means a lot of great food and cheap lumber.
In the summer, it is beautiful... In the Winter, 2 years ago the REAL temp at his place was -37 degrees F.. without the wind-chill... The fall comes fast, the spring slow..
The area is very RED politically.. you will see many TRUMP signs all over up there, along route 11, 22, 37, 56.. ect..
The cops.. I got pulled over one time with my Harley motorcycle trailer.. they wanted to inspect the inside.. I was going to make them get a search warrant, just because I was just going down the road, speed limit, listening to music minding my own business.. It was a local cop.. They held me until a State cop could get there as back up.. State cop told me the only reason they want to check my trailer is for people being smuggled from Canada into the US.. .. WHAT.. I DID not know that was a thing.. I opened up the trailer and I was on my way... is all the local cop would have had to say was just that instead of being a hard ass... But, what ever..
Seriously on the human smuggling up along that border.. Has something to do with the Indian reservations, and all that.. Don't know, I didn't ask a lot of questions..
BUT that is that area of NY State... BTW, Potsdam NY St Lawrence County.. AMAZING Hotdogs.. there is a Hotdog factory that makes POTSDAM hotdogs.. If you are in the area, buy them.. Trust me.
I recently made my first visit to Upstate New York and was pleasantly surprised at what I saw. Beautiful countryside, really nice people and great prices on many items, from food to clothes. Was complaining about taxes in my state, Maryland, and was shocked to find out taxes are so much lower up there. Having been to NYC many times, wasn't expecting this at all.
@@lindabeard7035 Taxes up in those areas isn't bad, my brother with his 5 acres does not pay much in taxes.. He built a huge house for under 70k... NY and NYC are 2 completely different places and the politics and ppl are completely different.. My Mom is 90 and her neighbors all look out for her, take her to church, since my brother and her are 2 different religions .. Everyone is very cool.. when I drive up there from WV for Thanksgiving, neighbors I have never met before stop in and they are simply the friendliest and nicest people you can ever meet.. AND I always go shopping up there at the various Amish shops and come home with a bunch of stuff.. Like Amish make Maple Syrup up there, stuff is 25 bucks a gallon.. very cheap.. I usually buy a 1/2 gallon that holds me and my cooking for a year.. :)
Good to know. My son and his wife want to buy upstate NY. I was a bit scared because I thought there would be a lot of unrest like in NYC.
@@nmc398 VERY safe, lots of great people.. a whole different world from NYC.. Once you get out of the NYC area.. It is like a different country.. Decent healthcare, low taxes..

I might like it up there if it wasn’t so dang cold.🥶
Hi! The pictures that you showed at 1:24 are actually from a town in the upper peninsula of Michigan called Newberry!
I’m from there I’m definitely sure that’s not Alabama
Came here to say the same thing! Every single "Alabama" pic is of Newberry, MI. Don't believe everything on the Internet kids, lol! It's likely Briggs intentionally doesn't use accurate pictures because it generates more interaction in the comments.... Like right now lol. Plus it's easier and you don't have to actually research anything. Plus, AI can do all the work if you so choose. Dang algorithms and AI have ruined everything.
I was hoping to see Wyoming, Montana, or Idaho for 2k an acre
A lot of Montana is incredibly expensive unfortunately
Tennesee is where you want maybe, but those states are anywhere as affordable anymore, ESPECIALLY Montana, idk how a state with so small a population can be that expensive. has to be more than JUST people moving from California.
Idaho is very expensive now

Love the video Briggs! You and your staff did your homework on this one! Lake County, OR is way underrated in my opinion. Nice county with a wonderful little town of Lakeview as the county seat.

@@susanoakley7322 Hi 👋🏼 Susan! Yes, I believe Lake County borders both CA and NV. You would be close to your family in Reno. Check it out! Lots of interesting places to explore and enjoy around the area!
Near Casper Wyoming you can buy 50 acre plots of land for 50,000. Yes, $1,000 per acre. But they don't include water or electricity. It's in the high desert, so it's sandy, windy, and dry. Don't expect to grow anything

Can’t believe Nevada didn’t make your list! I’m currently looking at buying a piece of land in Nevada & I’ve been seeing a lot for far cheaper prices than you were mentioning🧐
When I moved to California in 2003 the County of San Bernardino was selling lots for $1K and above. Everyone was thinking they were going to multiple their investment in the future.

Surprised that WV is not on this list
Somewhat surprised that New York is on this list
Still willing to use Binghamton as a benchmark for place to live as population for me
Yes, close to where I live you can buy 68 acres of mountainside (Berkeley County area) for 400k.. I think that works out to 5k an acre.. And if you go out to the Fort Ashby area, it is even much cheaper..
You can buy cheap land in WV if you know where to look.
@@gregorystinette8271 absolutely,,, Looking anywhere in the state.. I was floored by how cheap land is out here
Yes, we can get land cheap here in certain areas of New York State. However, the taxes are awful. The minute you build something, get ready for a decent increase. If you build within the lines of Adirondack Park, prepare to be bogged down with a long approval process.
NY should pay ppl to live there! It’s a horror place
I was there till 55. Tried getting out for a decade before I made it

Another awesome video Briggs. Keep up the great work!
There is and has been for ages, (TONS) of land for sale in Culberson county texas well under $1,000 per acre. Even in Crockett county Texas the land is around $1,000 give or take a few hundred per acre. I have seen some land in Van Horn as low as $350 per acre in 2023 and in Ozona as low as $847 per acre.

I heard you state two times that Arkansas had a lot of problems.

I especially like this video as I am considering homesteading, don’t think I’ve seen a video where you show locations where parking or living out of a rv is allowed long term. I know in Colorado you have to be in a special zoned area.
I'm curious what data sources you use for helping you to find the cheap land/houses/etc? I can find some information if I'm looking in a specific area, but finding it say accross a state or accross the US I'm not sure how that's done.

I think we drove through that Apache county. It was bleak, impoverished, desert with a sandstorm hitting us as we drove through.
About New York State, because of the low land prices in certain areas, Amish are moving in. New York has the fifth largest Amish population in the United States now (after Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, and Wisconsin). St. Lawrence county is one of those areas.

OMG. I could never live in that much cold for so many months each year. Maybe a month or two in the 20-40 degree range, but more than like three days below that...
So now I have he idea of buying some small tracks of land in some of these states and fortifying the properties with septic , well and electric hook as well and a concrete pad to park the 5th wheel RV we are buying on. I do not really want to pay crazy prices at resorts to take our vacations. I is a win win for me.

One should keep in mind that things are usually only cheep when the people with money don't want them, because there are too hot , too cold. not enough water.

No, Most people BUY Sheds and put them on the land to Convert to a Home.. But that (EXAMPLE ONLY) $20,000 Shed by the time they pay it off is now $40,000 after all the Interest paid and can NOT Convert it or Anything else UNTIL it is Paid Off and Usually have them Reposed.. OR they could Learn to Build the Same Size Shed for Less than Half and use the Half they Save to Put into Converting it.
I’m surprised Maine didn’t get on your list.
I bought some off grid land up there for $1400 per acre other parcels were going for$1000 per acre.
That’s ok … we don’t need to be on a list.

Surprised Kentucky was not on this list or Louisiana
Thumbs up for effort. These are all realtor prices. Realtor and vacant land go together like booze and Corvettes. Move the decimal point and I still won't buy. The magic only happens when you get realtors and similar out of the picture. A non-realtor price is a ranch price.
I live in new york state and firmly believe that the city should be classified as a separate entity I mean they consider themselves separately when it comes to pistol permits a nys permit isn't valid in nyc
Will you also tell us what the rainfall average the land has and the weather patterns are. Does it flood and does it snow and what m9nthsbaee winter
Upper peninsula, 37.9 acres, cabin with a new well and septic. $65.000 in 2021.
Brigs, we don't want res. acres. We want ag acres. Love your channel.
Mora, that's a Swedish name. The lead singer of Hammerfall is from Mora, Sweden.
Mora as used in this case is Spanish for Mulberry although it is thought Mora , the river, the town, and eventually the county appear to have taken their name from the family name Mora, borne by several of the settlers
Mora, NM has a lot of Spaniards who made settlements in 1500’s. It is also the last stand for Apache Indians in the old west. The nearest grocery store/Walmart is in Las Vegas, NM. Guess residents go to Walmart once a week?

Maybe you could do a video that ties in the cheapest land with lowest tax burden. You could do it by normal tax burden or by retirement tax burden.
Two questions: 1 Should the government allow the Chinese to buy up American farmland? 2. Should the government restrict who farmers can sell their land to?
Yes and yes.
@WorldAccordingToBriggs so the Chinese should be allowed to by farmland, but the government should be allowed to restrict farmland from being sold to the Chinese. Huh???????
No and yes. Chinese should be eased out of their U.S. assets but corporations should be prevented from buying more farmland, controlling the food supply, growing inferior, less wholesome, poisoned products, and concentrating the wealthm even more dangerously further.
no and heck no...@@WorldAccordingToBriggs
This is a blatantly racist question. I would be open to restrictions or even a ban on the ownership of US real estate by other than US citizens regardless where they are from. The government already does restrict to whom farmers can sell their land. For example, nineteen states have laws that prohibit or limit corporate ownership of farm property: Arkansas, Florida, Idaho, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Louisiana, Minnesota, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Tennessee, Utah, Virginia, and Wisconsin. Interesting to note that most of the states on this list are "freedom loving" red states.
Great resourceful land in the upper peninsula of michigan
I seem to have missed a mention of the cost per acre or acreage sizes for the prices you do mention.
Saving this for a later time! 👀👀

What about wooded/farm acreage?
Fluvanna County in Virginia is about $17,000 per acre.
Selling a 9 acre farm land (20 minutes away from sea and near the market road) here in the Philippines for only $11 per square meter (with clean title). If you want, I can show you around to check the area.
