    I remember in 2009 when I was working in real estate seeing people buy homes new from builders with the intention of selling before close of escrow to a new buyer for profit. The crash was so brutal and fast that I remember seeing a lot of these units foreclosed on with the builder plastic still on the carpet.

      Most people find it difficult to handle a fall since they are used to bull markets, but if you know where to look and how to maneuver, you can make a size-able profit. Depending on how you intend to enter and exit, yes.

      I've shuffled through investment coaches and yes, they can be positively impactful to an individual's portfolio, but do your due diligence to find a coach with grit, one that withstood the 08' crash. For me, *Julianne Iwersen Niemann* l turned out to be better and smarter than all the advisors I ever worked with till date, I’ve never met anyone with as much conviction.

    Marquette, KS (about 30 miles southwest of Salina) has a free land program, where they will give you a piece of land with all utilities for you to build a home on. Apparently, they are fairly flexible concerning what you build. Teeny Tiny town. But here's the thing: they understand what they can offer and trying to leverage that. They are within a "reasonable" commuting distance to jobs. They know they cannot offer jobs, but they are within a reasonable commute. To help compensate for this, they have two other things they offer families. First, the town created a non profit and offers high quality low cost childcare for kids. Second, the town grocery store is a co-op of sorts, so you can get all your basics without paying those super high price small town prices. They also have various community events. The guy who owns the distillery in the local town square seems to be the guy who knows everyone to talk to. My husband and I passed thru there and met the whole town on one of their Marquette Mondays. We honestly would consider such a place if we were a young a family (but we are empty nesters).

    As a realtor in my opinion, a housing market crash is imminent due to the high number of individuals who purchased homes above the asking price despite the low interest rates. These buyers find themselves in precarious situations as housing prices decline, leaving them without any equity. If they become unable to afford their homes, foreclosure becomes a likely outcome. Even attempting to sell would not yield any profits. This scenario is expected to impact a significant number of people, particularly in light of the anticipated surge in layoffs and the rapid increase in the cost of living.

    There’s tons of land that you can get in the Midwest states. Kansas, Nebraska, and Iowa like you said have great deals for land giveaways. Montana should have been on the list too because out east where it’s really empty, small towns give amazing deals for free land. Hundreds of acres for a low price. Montana has about 58.1M acres of farmland, Kansas has about 43M, Nebraska has 44.1M acres, and Iowa has about 35.5M. Those 4 states are empty and have lots of farmland for sale. Texas has about 127M acres of farmland, but forget about buying it. At least 35M people already have control over it.

    Countries like Australia and Canada offer immigration visas for people who accept to live and work in the remote and low populated areas of their countries so that they can save their rural areas which are losing population.
    And in some countries in the world they offer permanent residency and citizenship to people who are willing to invest a certain amount of money to buy a property in their country and by doing this they bring in a lot of wealth into their countries from abroad, simply by sometimes the homes their own people did not want anymore.

    I loved how you spoke about Flagler, CO while showing video and pics of lush, verdant mountains when that town is anything but. Geographically it is just western Kansas which is utterly flat and featureless. You have to drive an hour west before you even start to see a hint of the mountains. Also, a big problem with moving to these dying rural towns is that they are run by dying rural governments with utterly incompetent and often downright corrupt government officials. I recently moved away from a little Colorado town exactly like that and never want to see it again. And before anyone here starts in about it being a blue state, eastern Colorado is as hard conservative as anything you will find anywhere else. Corruption and greed know no political boundaries.

    For the Kansas towns, there's no need to go to Topeka. Salina is actually decent for just about everything you need, and Hays, about 90m west of Salina on I-70, is a small college town and has most necessities. Anything in the northern Wichita metro area (Newton, Hutchinson, too) would actually be closer than Topeka. (Kansas native here. If being too remote is an issue, Lincoln would be a decent choice. It's close enough to Salina or Hays to commute for a job and get into town when necessary. Not sure I'd personally pick Osborne or Plainville for myself. I've stayed with relatives in farming regions, and getting to where you have some necessary services is a huge chore. Also, schools in rural Kansas need some care... the state school board funding has been abysmal the last couple of decades with the rural districts being hurt the most.
    Was looking for something interesting, but alas, all dying farming communities. Been wanting to put up a small IT/computer business somewhere people might need me, but there's no elbow room in the Wichita area.

    As someone who lives in a suburb of Buffalo, I would only go into the actual city of Buffalo if I had to but since the Pegula's took over as the Bills and Sabres owners it's really cleaned up down there, the inner city is still unwalkable but the outter city near the harbor, nobody approaches you for money anymore, there is all sorts of cool villa's now, live music, paddle boating, ice skating rink in the winter but you're right about the winters here, it's absolutely brutal but it's not a hurricane or tornado like you get in warm places like Kansas or Florida. I doubt that program exists here in Buffalo or it's really well hidden because property taxes are borderline insane here.

    You better check on all the restrictions and if they have a state income tax as this is why they want you to move there.

    Nobody should have to pay for any land whatsoever. This is ridiculous to say the least but it's nice that you have posted this. It is never and was never the government or the bank's there is no proof or claim of that. Our inheritance lies with the one most high and the land is exactly that. Our gift

    When you said Osceola, Iowa, I had to check Google Maps, because some of my relatives are from Osceola County, Iowa, which is in the northwest corner of the state. Turns out the city of Osceola is kinda in the far south.
    I wouldn't have been surprised if Osceola County had a free land program, because from what I saw of it the one time I've been there, it seemed pretty depopulated and economically depressed.

      Osceola County, shit that has like 5000 people in the whole county. And that is not even the least populated county in Iowa.

    I think you need to check those lots for buried volunteers. People who "volantarily" gave up their cemetary plots so their next of kin could commit social security fraud.

    Just for future reference, Beatrice is pronounced Bee-attress, like mattress. I lived in Lincoln, NE for a few years, and thats how they said it on the local news.

      you're right. As a side note, there use to be a radio show in Omaha in the 80's that was called "The Mean Farmer" and it always picked on Beatrice with the obvious ... it called it BEAT RICE. Gotta love it. It's actually a great little town, very midwest.
