Very nice of you guys to take the time to educate first time land buyers. May you both succeed in your plans!
Long story; A person bought 90 acres on a cove at the other end of our lake, site unseen, it abuts our property. Google earth shows 2000' of water front. His end of the lake is 1-2' deep for 300 yards out and lots of rocks, half his property is lowlands with marsh, he thought the old logging road was on his property, nope its 50 yards in on my property. Needless to say he is mad as hell, no ones fault but his own...I may buy 30 acres from him just so he won't cut down all the old growth trees. His plan was to log the area and then resell it, he really only has access to 1/2 of it as the rest is all marsh. I'm happy he can't log all of it, so many eagles, osprey, barred owls and ducks in and around that area.
Once caught a listing for 57 acres in New Hampshire for a really good price. Wife and I went to see it. While you probably could have logged it, the land was almost unusable without major excavation work and we were looking for a cabin site, hunting & fishing, hiking area.
Sounds like your his neighbor and not too happy with him 😂
I think anyone who is buying land should spend many many hours reading and learning before they go out and do it

@@beachchick7688 He's a nice young guy, I hoping to purchase the property from him as he has no use for it and he's putting it up for sale. But the value to me isn't the land but the wildlife that abounds there and all my properties will be in trust to the Audubon Society or Ducks unlimited and preserved as a bird sanctuary.
I love how you guys get straight to the point and so much useful information. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for the comment. Glad you found it useful. Let us know if you have any questions.
@@OneFootOfftheGrid I like to watch her facial expressions while he is talking, not because she is gorgeous (which she is), but because her expressions are so genuine. Its like watching a truth meter about what he is saying by watching her face.
Liked and subscribed to your channel, I can give no higher compliment than that.
They are so tickled to be in each other's company. It has to be great to be adults and be as smitten in love as teenagers would be.
The way these 2 look at each other, as if nothing else in the world exists, made me silly with happiness for them. I trust every word they say because nobody who is a liar could be that happy or thay much in love.
BTW, great information too.
Awwww! Thank you!!
They are a cute pair!
@@Elizabeth-yg2mg thank you. :)
You two are actually precious. I would hope to be with somebody as the two of you are.
A slanted area can be used for a stair garden that is super easy to keep watered. I love my step garden I had at my Uncle's when I stayed there.
I love how she looks at him for reassurance lol
I like these people
I like her
Buying land can be such a scary minefield. (Nice play on the word, huh?!?) :-) Thanks for shedding light on this venture.
thanks! found this useful even AFTER buying a piece of land. cheers,
Glad it was helpful to you. We are probably due to film a followup on this since we recorded this one quite a long time ago. Have you already started building on your property?
choosing building company, lots of options in the market, ideally pret-a-porter @@OneFootOfftheGrid
This was really helpful! I look forward to watching again and taking lots of notes! Thank you for taking the time to share this :)
Hopefully, I didnt miss this: as I was multi-tasking as your awesome video was airing & ty for sharing your insights. Also; always ask about mineral rights and tree harvesting regulations. Many people are able to responsibly harvest & replant trees with a good regrowth life plan & the harvested trees sold; actually paid for their monthly land loan pymt.
Was going to suggest mineral rights. A home owner might get a shock when a mining company decides to extract minerals under their home!
Very useful! thank you for sharing
Really appreciate the info here; thanks for spreading your knowledge to those who choose to listen!
Great and clear info. Thank you!
You guys did so great on this video, thank you so much!!
I Really enjoy this so much! I have my notes ready. I cant wait. So many do's and do not's. Ive been looking for land for a few months now and really had no general idea besides location what to look for. This really navigated me and helped me ask my self tough questions. I was ready to buy and figure out later. Now i will take my time and make a checklist to save myself some time and money. Thank you!
You guys make such a great couple! I love how you give each other time to speak.
I have land in Ghana and I need company to buy it contact me 0271637070
Thank you so very much. This is amazing. I am just starting out, this was very helpful.
Thanks for the Info❤
This video is great. You guys are very informative, with real issues to deal with. I really want to buy land, more than a house, but I know there is so much more to it, and you guys really put a lot into perspective, thank you. Do you have or could you make a video with a lot of estimates on some of the cost? Well, septic, electric, fencing, how did you handle those things? And any other general cost that may come with getting land and different necessities... Thanks Again.
Very useful and practical information. Thank you.
Thank you for the info I needed this!

You're welcome!
These are really great tips! We had to clear a lot of blackberry bushes. Maintenance is key to keeping things functional on your property. Wow, that is a deep well, also gallons of minute return on your well is really important. Great video and very helpful for those purchasing land.
Oh Blackberries! I always feel like I'm suiting up for a war when I decide to tackle the blackberries. We try to keep a small patch that we regulate so we can have a small patch to eat from each year.
Thanks for sharing your helpful experience!!
My pleasure!

So glad it was helpful!
Super helpful video!! Thanks for these tips
The tips were earned by making a lot of mistakes. Glad they were helpful to you. Are you looking to buy some land soon?
There was so many great tips! I think the best one that I hear with house renovating as well is : you can have an estimate but expect your budget to be higher. Will always keep this tip in mind. Great content thank you so much!
I'm glad you enjoyed the tips. :)

Excellent 👌☺️🙏🏾
This is great, love your videos! Something that my partner and I would love to do some day!
Glad you found it helpful April. Do you think you would look at a log cabin or a more traditionally built house?
Thank you for this! My husband and I are hoping to buy land in Costa Rica and I am glad I came across this video because there are helpful tips I wouldn’t have known about (there’s a river in the wet season for example!) thank you!!
Glad it was helpful!
Hey my neighbor is going to live in Costa Rica must be nice
I wish I would've seen this video before my credit union introduce the words "Land Loans" to me yesterday.😪 I wasn't prepared to pay off within 5 years or face a balloon payment. GREAT VIDEO
Thank you for this info! I legit want to buy land soon this is helpful 🙏💜
We love our land. We just feel so much happier and in touch with nature than we do in the city. More to come soon.
I will pass on HOA fees thank you.
We bought a bunch of land in the White Mountain Region of New Hampshire. At the time there were a ton of realtors who banded together to form realtor groups who were buying up land, cutting them up, and making them associations with HOA fees. Extremely thankful I was able to find land from a private seller.
@@giantthoughts7885 where do you typically find a private seller?
@@MsLiberty101 Red Tool House recommended looking at tax property searches where the address of the property and the owner were far apart. His example was someone who owned land but the tax mailing address was in California or Florida. His point was it might be inherited land and they might be open to parting with it if you hand wrote a letter explaining how you want to homestead it / improve it, he was adamant you not type any part of it.
For me, it depends on the HOA. I've been in HOAs that are very lax amd laid back.
I e also been around HOA that will fine if you leave your garbage can two inches on the grass. All HOAs are not created equally.
Thank you! I am looking to purchase land and this is super help.
Glad it was helpful. How much land are you looking for?
Super appreciate this video ♥️✨ Thank you so much 😊 really helpful 🥰
Gland it helped. Where are you looking to buy land?
Hoping to find a couple of suitable acres somewhere in British Columbia, Canada. Right now looking at options and working on planning. Gathering as much info as I can. Really appreciate you folks and your videos 🥰
We're closing on land next week! First time ever! Love your Channel name!
How exciting!! We have loved the process so much. Keep us updated on your process. Thank you!
@@OneFootOfftheGrid We shall! We're breaking Sunny's prime directive and starting another UA-cam channel to document the journey. It'll be full time RV living for 6-8 months very soon while the house is being built!
@@TrevorJonescreator That's awesome!! That's our plan this summer, but we're putting up a yurt first (so hopefully we can spread into that and out fo the trailer a little bit). We get our Yurt on June 1st!! Our cabin kit is getting to us a little later than we had hoped because production has slowed down due to COVID-19.
Good information!👍
Glad it was helpful!
Great info. Looking for land now!
Grateful💕💞

Great info
Glad it was helpful!
great video. i wish i knew this before.
Glad it was helpful to you.
Super valuable. Buying property is a huge mystery for the average person. Lots of expensive potholes to avoid. With regard to animals, even if you're zoned for them if your neighbors are not accommodating things can go downhill in a hurry. Try to meet and get a feel for the neighbors if they're close. We ran into a situation where there's a lot of bad blood between a few making for some tricky times. Also find out where underground pipes/wires are located.
Great tips. Yes! you definitely have to try and create good relationships with your neighbors for sure.
Finding an honest and knowledgeable real estate person is very hard to meet cause they don't exist.
When you find one they are worth their weight.
I'd trust a politician before I'd trust a real estate agent. Liars. Those pictures aren't even close to that piece of land lol. LIARS, every last one of them.
