Make sure you do this with a attorney. Make the deal with the owner. And then get a attorney to draw up the land contract and research the title. DO NOT DO THIS WITHOUT A ATTORNEY. Lots of people are offering rent to own. That is a big trap. They can throw you out and keep your money.
You are sooo right! I'm about to purchase land in two weeks with a "Sale by owner" no banks involved expect getting a cashier's check. And closing cost fees are below $900 with no liens and backdated taxes. BEST SMART decision I made.
My partner and I just paid $250 down and we're paying $160 a month for 3.5 acres. We have a small stream-fed pond, an area of forest, and some field. We found it in our local paper. We're super excited! 😁
Becky you are my inspiration. I took this advise and even though things are different here in Uganda (Africa) with my wife we have worked this out and now own 2.3 acres. We keep goats, chickens, rabbits and guinea fowls. Thank you. I just came back here to say that.
I do agree with this. I've done this, my mom has done this and showed me how to do it and now I'm teaching my kids. We've been doing this for 3 generations. You don't need a bank. You just need your brain.
I bought my 10 Acres of land with (owner carry) in 2012 so I didn't have to qualify. I was a single mother with no extra money to put down and not good enough credit. Only thing I had was a decent job. The property has a private well and a manufactured house on it. The land is flat so is all usable. Paid off the property in 2016 so now I don't have a house payment.
Having a job to pay for incremental purchases of supplies and tools, a dependable vehicle to get you back and forth to work is a must for anyone attempting to homestead. A lot of challenges will lie ahead. Luxuries will be far in the future. Lucky woman, but the hard work paid off, my respect.
I just closed on 40 acres. No down payment, No credit check and a monthly payment of $93.50 that starts in six months. The key is finding a motivated seller. Thanks Becky!
@@tiki4133 This property is in my target area. NM. I live in California. My secret is I use Real Estate agents. I ask for any listing of desired acre size over 3 or 4 years old. They will happily give it to you. I make an offer at half the listing price or lower AND my preferred terms Tha agent just wants the listing off his book and the owner will listen to ANY offer. It DOES WORK. I've proved it!
@@skoalmen143 That is still Amazing!! It kinda blows me away to think it's so with in grasp like that!! Think it'll still work, with how things are currently?
@@tiki4133 Even more so. People aren't buying right now.. How much more excited an agent to get a call, a unhappy owner gets a prospect? They BOTH will kiss your ass and bend anyway you want. Important you only negotiate with listings that are YEARS old. Disgruntled owners. The work is finding the agent with such listings. How? Lots of phone calls. Once you do. And make your ridiculous low ball offer, be prepared to be accepted. It works. Once you understand the process. YOU are in control.
We recently bought almost 4 acres. I understand the idea of wanting flat land, but we didn't have that option in our price range, and we bought a home on a bluff overlooking the Mississippi. However, we have been very creative and we're using the whole space, even though it's slanted in many areas. We have a sloped drain field for sewage, and we created mowed paths in it and planted wild grasses and wild flowers to attract bees, with a water feature for birds and a bench. We planted/are planting more fruit trees in another sloped area. We have some areas where the bluff was cut into, and so it's a completely vertical dirt wall; we are planting climbing hardy kiwi plants there. We planted 14 grape plants on a slope going up. We planted elderberry, blueberries, blackberries, raspberries (and bonus, lots of wild black raspberries already growing here). We planted a hedge of American hazelnuts. In the flatter areas, we have a large fenced garden, and chicken coop (although they free range). We're adding more garden space this summer up on a flatter spot halfway up the bluff, and even edging the borders of the woods with additional plants. Anyway, all that to say... Yes, flat areas are sure easier to get started on and may have more usable space, but other than the woodsy areas we have that are all trees (where we made fun hiking paths for the kids to enjoy), we're using every bit of the land for both enjoyment and food production, and in time, we'll have an abundance of edibles! ❤️ Plus it adds variety and interest to the space, and we get to enjoy a beautiful view too.
Good morning Becky. My story is, about 7 years ago, I was just driving around and I saw a beautiful piece of land in NW Arkansas. When I contracted the realtor about it, I was told that the previous owner of the land has passed and none of his children had ever lived in the state. My realtor told me they just wanted it sold ASAP. I made a low ball offer for cash and it was accepted. It was listed at 7.2 acres, I had it surveyed and it turned out to be 8.5. There's a seasonal creek that runs along the back.
We did this last January.. We found 2 Acres that had a mobile home on it...So there is a well and septic here.. We used our income tax as the down payment... Over the last year we have fixed up the mobile. We are very very happy with this purchase.. We will own it out right in 4 more years :)
Good going!!! I'm so happy for you! It is so nice to live on a homestead and is really good for kids to grow up on a homestead and learn about where food comes from and how to produce some. Also how to work hard and take care of their self. Things that are better learned when you are little. ❤️🐔🐝🐷☀️
This video gives me so much hope. I'm so sick of having nothing 😢 I'm not afraid to work for it I just literally have no example or direction on how to begin. Thank you for giving me some direction. 🤗
There are free volunteering opportunities where you join communities families or just people who need help and give you shelter, food for it while you are working 3 to 5 hours per day learning some skills. Workaway is one such site.
Well the "great reset" says "you will own nothing and be happy" what a crock hey. I don't know who they think they are but their plan is going to backfire. blessings.
Even if you had great credit the banks don't loan on raw land, even if you put down 90% cash the banks still won't make the 10% loan. The best way to find properties is by contacting land owners through the county assessors records, write them all, once you get a seller talk to them about carrying the paper (owner carry back). There are many reasons why an owner will want to carry or you can convince them that it will be great for them because of multiple factors. 1. Capital gains, if they get the full cash value they may have to pay big time to the IRS, 2. Taxes, you will now be paying the taxes 3. Maintenance, the owner is done taking care of the place that's now your problem. 4. There going to make money on the carry interest rate plus whatever you put down. 5. You can do the title work yourself by checking the county records because that's all the title company is going to do and they usually do a shitty job lol. 6. Write your own contract and terms, you'll find tons of examples in the net. 6. Don't use a realtor, NEVER! 7. GET TO KNOW THE LAND OWNER, FORM A RELATIONSHIP, THEY MAY LIKE YOU AND Want you to have the property for literally hundreds of thousands of dollars less than they could sell it for or whatever the amount involved. They may not like realtors or the property has issues they don't want to deal with and you assure them that if they sell to you you'll take care of those problems. 8. Don't listen to friends or family even your wife if they tell you it can't be done, it can. I've made millions doing the above formula, now stop screwing around and go for it. Your welcome. Oh yeah pray for guidance which is actually the most important tip I have. AMDG
THANK YOU!!! I’m a mother/wife/grandmother and I’m disabled with my 7 yr autistic son living on social security. Years ago I was in nursing until I broke my neck n back. First GOD got me out of bed then out of the house moving and enjoying life again. ThenGOD put this video in from of me to see as we were living in Detroit renting and a cost of living so high we weren’t making it. You gave me the courage and resources to start looking for another place/way to live. 2 years later we have a homestead in the Ozarks of Arkansas and my son is being raised in the woods learning how to provide for himself. I cant/don’t want to imagine what our life would be now during this pandemic!!! Becky keep on with the videos many of us watch learn and are surviving even if you don’t hear all the good!
I know it was vaccines!! All 3 of my daughters received vaccines after the 1986 order that vaccine companies could not be sued for vaccine induced injuries. 1 daughter was deemed disabled by social security before age 3. All 5 of my grandsons are speech impaired, autistic, and other psychological issues. All 5 has either done a different vaccine schedule or non vaccinated, in the end they are all affected. My past family medical history or my spouse has any psychological or neurological conditions or even concerns. I’m very active in vaccine injury awareness, thank you for doing the same.
Becky, I have bought vacant land twice. Both times were financial gold in results. My last purchase I did on 12 acres and negotiated a 10 year 3% loan owner carry. Came with good well and good concrete septic (house burned down)... everything you said is true, I would add a few more things. There is a list of things people need to research before buying vacant land, like>> easements, mineral rights, water rights, building restrictions, property tax rate, agriculture status, drilling well depth/availability to water, I would also recommend visiting the county/city zoning and planning department to learn all about the property before buying. PS I have 77 chickens and love your videos!
Could you expand on the information you stated. What is important to be aware of when it comes to well depth for one and what type of building restrictions might you encounter? Plus anything else you can think of. Thanks in advance. Eager to buy land soon.
@@KrystalNCMA Depends on where you live- my parents bought great land when we moved to this province, and they dug three wells, none had or held water. The water table was way further down. They had to drill 187 feet down, which was and still is incredibly expensive to do, thousands and thousands of dollars to drill, and the water was not good, full of calcium, really hard lime, needed a waterer softener, etc. My property looks boring with a little trailer and barns, but I have a 100 foot drilled well that has never gone dry, a good septic, fruit trees, mushrooms, greenhouse, and lots of chickens. For that, for the safety of having good water, you could not separate us from our land, not ever. I've filled the pond with a hose and never had that little 2 inch well bore go dry, even for a moment in drought. Priceless. Might be the nicest place in the world, but if you have no water, you have nothing.
@@KrystalNCMA Well drilling and type very depending on the location. I would pay the money for a good local experienced well driller (worth the money). Expanding on the restrictions you may come across easements that will allow utility companies of neighbors to build road on your land or can use your road, 2 building and code laws (some land is unbuildable), 3. Rights Mineral and water rights (ex. you don't want a company drilling for oil on your land and you can do nothing to stop them. the key is having NO SURPRISES after you buy the land. You want to know all problems you can incur. It is likely most land will not have problems, but if you don't know the problems ahead of time, you might have a complete mess to deal with and can result in a financial loss.
Becky you have inspired me. Your positive attitude and trust that we could all do this motivates me to keep going in life. Right now it’s very difficult to pay rent and I have stopped seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. Coming across this video has been such a blessing and I’m excited to start a new journey with a new purpose. Thank you for being a light in this world. ❤️
I bought half acre in Timberon with my stimulus checks! Thank you Becky for all your information, very helpful! Don't mind the negative Trolls on here.
Yes!! This is what we are doing. We found 2.5 acres of land owner financed. 3k down and 300 a month, no bank, no qualifying. The owner is working with us and waiting for tax time.
Wow! That is so amazing 😊🌸 very happy for you and gives me hope! 💛 If you dont mind me asking, how much is the total cost if the property you owe/have to pay off? Was it $10,000 or over 100,000?
I love you!!! I lost my mom and my sister when I was very young! I am now married with 4kids and we want a homestead! My kids want it most! I thank you so much for ALL your videos! It's like I have a question or worry, or making plans and I feel like I just asked my mom or sister for advice and there you are! Thank God I found you and thank you again for all the awesome information! Much love and success to you 🙏❤️
Yes. Nearly 50, and as I look back at my life I see how being too shy or scared to ask for help or speak up has hurt me. I've done okay in life, but things could have been so much better and a little easier if I'd asked a few more questions.
One thing you might want to tell people (especially if it is existing unimproved land)is look for a sycamore and/or a maple tree. They drink about 400 gal. Of water a day each. There's water. A well might have to be drilled, but it's there.
I have been a real estate investor for many many years, and I will be straight with you...no one has ever simplified the process like her. I'm impressed.
Most people procrastinate because they're unsure. We over analyze because we're unsure. Just do it anyway. Time costs lives, Most times it amaze me greatly the way I moved from an average lifestyle to earning over $63k per month, utter shock is the word. I have understood a lot in the past few years to doubt that opportunities are bound in the financial markets, The only thing is to know where to focus.
@Everett Moore That won't bother you if you trade with a professional like *Mr Gary Mason Brooks* my coach, you may have come across him on interviews relating to bitcoin. He trades, manage trading account and offer mentorship program for clients who wish to become professional investors.
Wow I can't believe you guys are discussing about *Mr Gary Mason Brooks* , I once met him at a conference in California 2019, just before the pandemic. I can testify that he’s very good in trading..Highly recommended.
@jasonlauu Yes i do, I've known him for couple of years , I'm still using his services , His management team is quite impressive so far.... with my $15,000 deposit, I made over $288,000 profit with just 10% charge.
@Everett Moore It's 100% safe and legal , He’s an expert trader on stocks and crypto. I basically do nothing but collect profits, he was able to get me in early on most of these stocks and I exited just at the right time, his analysis was really on point.
I recently heard of another 'cheap' way to buy land from a neighbor: Go to your county's tax collector to see if they will have auctions on land where (most often absent-) owners have not paid their taxes and the county claims their land, then sells it at auction. Apparently some have sold for as little as a few hundred bucks.
Property taxes fund many of our essential services. Tax lien deals pay this so that the county gets the money it needs. Most of the time the buyer gets it together to finally pay off the lien, but you will get some nice interest. And Robin DeGrace - you can do this all across the country.
#Pat Riot Jefferson Paying property tax or not makes the difference between a civilized country and a bongo-bongo land. If you people think of the US as the world's leading nation, pay taxes, otherwise you people are just a joke.
better yet check out the lands owners and go to them to see if they are living any living or died some people might passed away without any living relatives follow that through to see if there any living descendant the land could go to and if they aren't going to want to keep it ask them if they allow you to by it since it is in their family then there isn't no sin with the owners and your able to obtain the land with there agreement , it getting the government to see they shouldn't be charging a tux on people property, were all born into this life not to be servants over the other person, as their slavery doing service unto them or that take our land as their possession and make us evicted lessors to them as owners thereof for the taxes they access against our things our land house , if we dont pay their access property taxes they levy against out land, tax! supposedly agasint the law well that's how they want it to be understood and interpreted by mean-men, the son abideth forever dont be leasers holy bible said ! or take it from them makes us all leasers when they're in control over your property if you dont pay them a tax!

In Becky's defense, she's talking about people who are living paycheck to paycheck with no additional money to save. She isn't talking about financially destitute people. It isn't that hard to read between the lines of the videos title. Did any of you come here seriously thinking you were going to BUY something with no money? Do people even think anymore, or do they just speak off of emotion all of the time?
So rather than expecting people to be honest and say what they mean, you expect everyone to 'read between the lines'? *_Can't spell lines without lies._* She was correctly accused of clickbaiting. The title is a lie. It says very clearly *One Way Poor People Can Buy Land With No Money.* I'd ask why you feel the need to defend a blatant liar, but that's the society we live in, I guess.
Clint R Well, actually no, it's the opposite. The nuances you're describing are fairly complicated. For example, no money does not mean some money; no≠some. You don't need to be a linguistics expert to understand that. The problem is that our society encourages people to speak with extreme generalization. It would be like if I made a video about getting a raise and promotion from your boss entitled *_How To Do No Work And Earn All The Money_*
We just found a nice house in town that we moved into a year ago. Honestly the nicest, least trashy home weve both ever lived in and we were so proud. No debt other than the mortgage. But in the past few months weve come to realize why weve been so down in the dumps. We need fresh air, nature, and to just live simply. Ive been a stay at home mom for five years with no means for transportation and i want nothing more than to stay at home in a natural environment and not ten feet from my neighbors when i step out for air
My brother and sister-in-law just bought a brand new, absolutely beautiful house and are raising their 18-month-old daughter... but as much as we love and admire their gorgeous home, we also drive away from it thankful for our patch of land and garden. They have such small yards and are shoved cheek-to-cheek into an area with a bunch of other people. Anything they do or say in their backyard OR front yard can be heard by their neighbors. The development has some communal living assets like a basketball court and and a pool and a picnic pavilion... but I personally can't imagine being locked into the same house on a hill in the same neighborhood for 30 years without room to plant a tree in my front yard, or the privacy to do what I like in my backyard.
@@sarahwillig474 that is exactly what were going through! Though we dont have any assets like that to even enjoy. We cant even save money to move out the cost heree is so high
Bought 37 acres 3 years ago after watching this video. Hoping to buy a farm now. I comeback and watch it every once in awhile. Still the best video on the topic.
I live in the Missouri Ozarks. My property has very hilly to moderately level land. I have to say that hills can be a godsend as gravity is your friend. Not having enough money to drill a well and given that every state around Missouri allows fracking, I was concerned about the contamination of the Midwest aquifer. Eventually, that water would be unfit to use for animals, people, or plants. I opted to catch the rain for my water supply. I catch water on the hill above my cabin which collects into a 2500 gallon cistern. The water gravity feeds down to where I need it without electricity, pumps, or moving parts of any kind. Without my hill and in the event of losing power which we often do (we once lost power due to a storm for 4 days), I would have NO water. My simple system cost about 1/4 of a well, is better water, and no matter what happens I have had it when others did not. So when Becky says buy level land, I would disagree. Hilly land is usually cheaper, makes for better views, and usually comes with a forest. I heat with wood so my water and heating bills are zero. Jes' sayin'. Each situation is different and good luck to everyone in your land search.
i dug a shallow well by hand let the ground filter the rain water or havent you seen and looked into what they are spraying in the air all day everyday
Fracking does not get into water supply this was a myth started by some hairy legged femnazi that smell like patchouli. I'm in the business and live where I frack so you think I would poison myself?
Ken Boschert sounds like you got peace & quiet where you are but I'd never know how to work on the car if it broke down ( I could get a pushbike lol)~ It's so bad the Govt.have allowed Fracking all over that wild old country near where you live ~ the government are idiots~ all the native animals will eventually die. did you put a roof up on a shed to catch the rain up on.the hill & run into a gutter? Thankyou.
Scott Sullivan Sounds like governments and big businesses are going stark raving rabid mad! That is sacrilege if they can BAN a man from collecting water any way he can It's getting so bad with water pollution now, no idea where this madness is going to end? Will it ever go back to clean water & clean air? I doubt that big business will allow that. I live out in the country but that doesn't stop them polluting the air, polluting the rivers & polluting people's brains so they all think Fracking is no big deal. In Australia the Government sells water & power to other states & Asia cheaper than they charge their own people.
Thank you Becky. I just want to let you know you inspired us to buy some land for our future homestead (Right after bankruptcy and a foreclosure thanks to the IRS and overwhelming debt). I named it Brambleberry Creek. We are moving there in a few months to start our future! God bless you and keep you happy for a long, long time! Not only did we get 18 acres in the Ozarks, but we got a creek and spring. It's stunning and no building codes since we bought in a township. After a deposit of $2000 with a 10 year Lease to Own Contract it's only $350 a month. But you should know there were much cheaper down payments like $500. Thanks again. You rock!
You may want to watch Traditional Homesteading they use ground covering to grow food because weeds are so bad. But they have become successful and self sufficient with a lot of hard work.
I Live In The Ozarks, No Such Thing As 'Pancake Flat' Land Here. We Bought 5acs With Rundown House in 2000. Built Our House On The 'Top'. Made 'Rundown' House My Man-Cave, Built Chicken Coop Behind (With Run). Goat Pens Behind That & To The West. Have a Hog-Pen In The Center Of Goat Pen. Five Dogs, Eight Cats, 45 layers & 15 Muskovie Ducks. I Am Content, GOD Love Us & You.
+RanJo Believer I grew up in the Ozarks. You're right about flat land there. But the Ozarks are flat, compared with the Pacific Northwest, where I now live. The nearest big mountain to my home in Bellingham, Washington is Mount Baker: Elevation of that mountain is 10,781 feet. You won't find anything that tall in the Ozarks --- much less a mountain that's as tall as Mount Ranier, which is taller than Mount Baker, and which is farther away.
We have a saying in NWA, "It's Not That We Mountains That Are So High, But We Do Have Valleys That Are So Deep". My Property has 'Great Drainage' properties! Have A Great Weekend
Thank you for your advice, answered a lot of questions. I'm 62-year-old veteran. That's living on his SSI, and VA Benefits. Been saving money to buy my own land. My dream is to one day own my own property and live out my days home steading it.
I took your advice on finding 'cheaper' land just out-side our county lines; First, I started driving in 20 mile 'grids' each week (joy rides) taking notes on land prices in that area-- and noting how close main roads were to the area, and, I took photos and started making calls on properties we had on the list. Got a feel for what the owners were really wanting and why it was selling. 2. I looked for land from 2-5 acres. I Google searched and made my list from 'land and farm' sites. I stopped and knocked on farmer's doors and talked to them in fields. You'd be surprised at how much of other ppl business they do know. If farmer John knows Farmer Ken might sell his family old barn land off...he may just advise you call farmer Ken to see if the rumor stands as true! This is how we found out a farmer died, his wife, remarrying, and arguing with an ex-inlaw, over the inherited rights to the land, wanted to sell her part of the inheritance so the arguing would stop. She wasn't farming anymore and just wanted to cash out and run. I don't blame her, but it gave me a good deal! Before her family member could give an offer, I got the info and raced to view the land, I found out from the sign in the yard that she had just put it on the market through a farm management company. Only on the market 3 days. I called her realtor and met his son out at the property. He acted like he didn't really have the time of day for us. Not sure why?? But, the next morning, after quickly calling in an inspector to meet us there, we took 3 hours to view the land and discuss our needs and it met all 22 criteria!! We had a go for the land. Location was even 12 minutes closer to our daughter by gaining access to a nearby main roadway! I called back her realtor and gave him a full price, cash offer on the 5 acres only and she agreed and signed that night. We had land surveyed for closing a few months later when crops were out of the field (can't survey in a tall corn field). *He was happy to tell his buyer he'd just wrote up the offer and sold the land in under 3 days, and, I was happy because this land was 1/2 or 1/3 price of the land prices in our area
Ahhhh thank you!!! I’ve always wanted to do this but I’ve never bought property before and all the points you raised were things I never even considered!!! I lost my job a few months ago because of Covid and decided I’m done being a slave to the system and homesteading seems like the way back to sanity. At the beginning of this month I packed up all my stuff, left Phoenix, and now I’m in IL trying to start my dream.
Oh my gosh!!!! Thank you sooooo much!!!!! My mom, my sister, and I have been wanting to live in the country for years but could never afford it. We want a farm so bad that we literally have chickens in our teeny backyard and we live in a duplex 🤣 And what’s funny is our landlord has no idea🤦♀️ I just wanted to thank you so much for creating this. My mom has bad credit and we’re basically poor. Because of this video we may get our dream house within a quick amount of time. I am now forever a fan and forever grateful 🙏 Thanks again ❤️
This vid changed my life! Came back to say thanks. We began looking for our homestead with NO money in 2017 and by early summer 2020 we saved up just under 30k and was able to do an owner contract from a nice man we met randomly in a cafe and he liked us so he sold us this land here we are living on and gardening on. Dont give up faith. God bless you all
Also get a title insurance!!! I had a title company and even with that I still had title issues 5 Yrs after the buy. Thank goodness I had title insurance. They fixed everything for me.
Thank you so much for this information! I am a young mother wanting to own a home before the age of 30. I appreciate people like you who have the generosity and love to share life experiences and advice to help others!
Some states don't have separate mineral rights. But I understand. Good idea to remind people. To make sure the mineral rights come with the property wherever you are.
Ok Farmer Nate, what's wrong with federal wetlands? I couldn't find anything specific, and I really would like to be able to have some knowledge of caveats for this type of land. Tks.
Chuffing Ale Federal wetlands are basically 'hands-off'. No improving the land at all. Im also pretty sure you cant even cut down a tree. They are basically useless other than hunting
+Farmer Nate You are correct! Wetlands are nothing more than mosquito farms you're stuck paying taxes on. It's not too bad to have a little wetland on a property, but buying a property that is mostly wetlands is a mistake on many levels. Stay away from them.
Has anyone heard about Billy land deals, you can get some really low priced land with low monthly payments on that site , California Oregon , Texas , they offer some great deals , I want to make the step in that direction , buying an acre and putting something on it would be so rewarding , even living in an RV on your own piece of land and putting up a place later , is better than throwing your money away renting or a high 30 year mortgage, my God, you just need to love the outdoors and be willing to do some hard work , being able to build something yourself is really rewarding, you could put up a barn home or pole shed if you wanted to , it wouldn't take much Some chickens and rabbits and a big vegetable garden , solar and a well is all I would need You could live comfortable and mortgage free , I'm going to see if I can find something good up in Oregon
@@rnupnorthbrrrsm6123 Nothing on billyland is in the overrun parts of Oregon. It's all in the sticks, which is where you'd want to be and where you'll find the most allies against those parts of Oregon that think they have something to be upset about.
Thank you Becky. Right now we own just about an acre. Which is fine because with Gods help we will have it payed off in 5 years. We also had our daughter name put on it, both her dad and I have health problems. Hubby is a liver and kidney transplant patient and I have stage 4 cancer. But this should help our daughter to be able to get a bigger piece of land. An all the tips you have give through out you videos . I'm going to try and get your book for her birthday. Because you make everything nice and simple, that if we're not here she'll have that. P.S. This may sound silly but back in September when we found out that I had stage 4 ,I had to stay in the hospital for a little over a month. I found your videos and they would halp to make me calm. So an extra thank you.
+T RopE (trope34) Over 100 people that lived to be over 100 were interviewed. The ONE thing they all had in common, they weren't vegetarians. I don't consider raising your own animals as unethical. You know what they have eaten, you know they aren't hormone injected, you KNOW the animal. If we weren't meant to eat a little meat from time to time, God wouldn't have put all the animals here. Considering our teeth have booth cutting teeth and crushing teeth, we were meant to eat meat. What is unethical is the way they keep animals meant for mass production.
I don't want to argue either. Everybody should live in the way that is conducive with their beliefs and of course good moral values. I didn't say eat a lot. American's eat far too much meat. 6 ounces daily should be max. The vast majority of your diet should be fruits and vegetables. That's common knowledge. As for looking an animal in the eye before killing them, nobody does that. If you can and you feel good about it, you have more problems than the choice of eating meat or not eating meat. Peace.
this is sO beautiful and inspirational. I couldn't agree more about what you've said about Becky and what you're doing for your daughter. My prayers go out to your family. Blessings
Thanks for the great advice! I looked about 40 mikes away from where I live and was able to find a piece of raw land with water share. He is Financing it for me with a very small down under 3k. I would never have thought to do this but here I am, just divorced and single mom and property owner! Putting a used mobile home on it in a few month. May not be much but it's mine.
Whoa! Sounds like your X took you to the 'cleaners'. As a 'divorced' mom of two whose dad didn't think he had to pay child support -- and knew that their mother didn't need him -- I did pretty much what Becky suggested. But I did it more than thirty years ago. So, not all women are gold diggers or leeches. Just as all men are not wankers, losers, users, or sad dads. And 'sometimes' a single mom might just be a widow. smh
John Purdue I'm not sure why you assume that a divorced female with kids means that she is an unwed mother... Not sure where you're getting this from and also where your bitterness is coming from.... something is not right... the resentment you have towards a stranger does not make sense
If I was 30-years younger and knew about this when I was in my early 20's, I definitely would have gone this route instead of the standard/typical lifestyle (further your education after high school like a college or trade school, buy a house in the suburbs, have a family, keeping up with the neighbors next door, and working a job you don't like to pay for it all so you can retire in 30-40 years. Sounds very possible and positive feedbacks I'm reading from people who have done this (and the positive opinion from a real estate agents comment). The only thing she REALLY need to address is you have to do A LOT OF HARD PHYSICAL WORK to make a farm work and be profitable to make your payments.
Thank you Becky!!! I watched your video during the pandemic. I was nervous, scared and happy but did what you said... I saved some of my stimulus and tax money in 2022. I purchased 2 acres. It's been crazy but fun getting this together.
I moved away from there 7 yrs ago. it was always expensive, but to the point to ridiculous now. I've lived all over the country. Back east, in the south, and in the west. The west is by far my favorite and I've lived in California, Utah, AZ, and Colorado. I lived in SE Denver. Colorado is okay, but it's not all that and a bag of chips like many of the people in the state act like it is. It has some nice areas and some really run down areas just like everywhere else I've lived. I'm more a water sports person and I've been to all the surrounding reservoirs and I wasn't that impressed compared to living in CA and AZ. definitely isn't worth what they are asking for housing.
@@megostop9650 I hate it here & I'm a native, yes it's expensive & not worth it. I want to leave & really don't know where to go, but I'm so glad that you did this video. The cold weather really hurts my body & it's just too Crowded. I'm in South Denver.
I'm new to this model and ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT! Thanks for sharing. It's so great to consider a world where people can buy and sell land/property from one another without the banks playing a roll. Cheers Homesteaders!
Thank you so much Becky. I bought my very first property at 22. Owner financing. I didn’t know exactly what I was doing at the time however I’ve always been a great record keeper. Cashed out on it years later. Bought l9 others since. Rented the 1st for years then I recently did a land contract with a buyer to help fund a 4 acre property. Girl I’m loving this video so much confidence here !! Thank u I look forward to purchasing duplexes soon.
Saving this video as a reminder and inspiration that our dreams of homesteading are reachable without having to spend 100's of thousands of dollars or getting a large loan from the bank. Very very encouraging thank you 🌸💛 You think you could do an updated video for an option/what it could look like for someone who does have credit, average to good credit? What those options could look like? Or would it be the same as what you advise here just with bigger money limits available? Thanks again 😊
Becky, you’re an angel! There’s nothing wrong in being working class, yet the push to move up in the social ladder is strong, and if I saw your video (or some other video like yours), with a pride in being who you are, I’d not waste my time pursuing a middle class or even upper middle class position. Thank you so much for your honest, sweet and caring video - these are the true working class values.
you can get raw, off grid land in most western states for $500 acre, and usually very little down on owner finance, but it will be remote. Be prepared to use solar, wind, or generator, and also haul water or dig a well. There are some places where the water table is high, but plan on $1500 per ft. Also be ready to drive 20 - 100 miles for goods and services.
$1500 per foot for a water well? I think you need to remove those two zeros. The average cost is somewhere between $15-40, with most being towards the low end of that range.
I don't know where you are Dave, but here in FAR WEST Texas, what Cave Canem said is TRUE! IF you are lucky enough to even find someone willing to drill for water-its very scarce out here. Most of the time it is not even drinkable. You have to have the water hauled in or find a source and go pick it up, etc... But you can get VERY cheap land and many acres for dirt cheap, b/c let's face it all you are paying for is DIRT! ;) Most people can't handle living this isolated and w/o basic utilities and water.
So, you're saying that a 100 foot well is going to cost a person $150,000 just for the drilling. Just for 100 feet. And his post alluded to a high water table. My parents live in Oklahoma and the water table under their property is 14 feet and a 100 foot hole would cost them about $1000. I can't imagine there is anywhere in the country where it would be 150 times that.
It CAN cost that much depending on how deep they need to drill for drinkable water, also the terrain. If you have to drill through ROCK it gets very expensive. I'd say more like 50K not 150K though, although, there is the rare horror stories, I have heard from people in Texas. I know of a few people in far west Texas that paid about 45K-65K for brine water; they had to drill extremely deep just for that. They still have to haul their water in to drink. Also, my parents had a septic and water drilled on a beautiful piece of land in the Texas Hill Country. B/C the driller had to go through so much ROCK it actually broke his drilling equipment and they had to keep drilling deeper and deeper to find water...(SUPPOSEDLY, I might add) I think he was trying to inflate the price to make up for burning up super expensive equipment! I think that my parents ended up paying for his "new" equipment. ;)
Thanks Becky! We just bought a house in a small town and we turned our backyard into mini farm. This information was very helpful since we plan to live on this property for a few years, sell, and really get our dream homestead.
Thanks for the info Becky. We recently moved to Colorado in hopes of doing this very thing, and starting our own business, though we never thought to go 'owner financed'. We sold our previous house and have been living off that money, now we're out of money and still trying to get our company off the ground. Wish us luck. :)
great channel you have here i have watched your videos since you bought your land and lived in your tent and so on, i just never comment but i bought my chickens because of you. i love them so thank you for sharing.
OK, I was reading the comments. The title should have said Buy Land When you Don't have much money. Of course it's buying hence money is needed. Down payment, title fees, court fees, deed fees, insurance, money for the well, money for septic tank, money for electric hookup, money for a road to the property or at least a gravel truck or two. So there is money needed. The video shows you how to buy from a person without going through a bank and big mortgage. I have done this before and it works, but yea, you need close to $20,000 for all of the above and to make it ready to put a home on it then you need to build the home or put a trailer or tent.
so the title is wrong, so what, knowing that "to buy" something you need money requires minimum neurons. Still the lady is providing a positive comment.
Joseph Jordan Banks won't accept cash as payment for a mortgage. At least not where I live. When Bank of America owned my mortgage I took the cash money in one month and tried to pay them with it. They said I could deposit the cash and then write them a check but they do not accept cash.But I get what you're saying.
A well-thought-out reasonable response! Yes, it is a LOT more expensive than most think and there is no way around that. Even if you didn't account for the things mentioned here (which you definitely SHOULD) there is going to be fencing (and cross fencing) if you want animals, materials to build if there is no building and lots of red tape (and the corresponding fees) to build. If there is already a home on the land, and they are selling for cheap, it probably needs repairs.
I'm actually working on this. But it's been a pain looking up where there is land that's reasonably priced. Hopefully, with Becky's tips, I will get lucky soon. Wanting my own piece of land has always been my dream. :)
The way to succeed in life is to have a plan. Be it a 2 year or a 10 year plan---a plan is the way to go. This lady had a plan and now she is a land owner. Gratz.
I did something similar but with a house. I took advantage of the market crash and bought in 2012. Paid 10k for a livable house in a nice neighborhood close to everything. Today's it's worth 150k but I been buying and selling ever since and my current home is worth nearly a half a million. Best thing I ever did. I used to struggle with rent and had 2 full time jobs now I enjoy my freedom and have no rent or mortgage my home is paid off. I planned it out myself saved 10k took me a year of working hard walking to work and not spending money even on food. Now all I pay is property tax and utilities planing on getting solar panels now. If I need extra money I just rent out a room or driveway. People all around me tried to talk me out of it and called me crazy even my own family. Thank God I did my own thing and trusted myself. Today everyone's asking me how I went from being a dish washer to owning a paid off mansion and living like I'm retired at under 40 so fast. Listen to this woman she's got the right idea. Don't fall into the corporate paycheck to paycheck hell trap that a large majority of Americans are stuck in. You can find cheap houses too in the city and suburbs. The country life is just not for me lmao this works for people who know how to think outside of the sheep heard.
I bought two acres several years ago and Paid it off by the month, then I sold my home in Orlando and used that money as a down payment to have another home built .. that was 12 years ago and now in two wonderful months I will be mortgage free from a 200,000 mortgage...YAY !! along the way (two years ago) I had to have a new well dug at a price of 4200.00 .. It was a shock as the well was pumping sand no water for 8 days ... I live in Florida But life is good ad I am proud of myself as I am a single woman raising two boys
Theres alot more to it than this. You have to look at the all the costs involved in getting water, power and septic, as well as the costs to build legally according to city or county building codes. I went through the whole process of extensive research when investigating 4 acres in San Bernardino cty CA selling for only 3k. Spoke to everyone in every imaginable dept. Nobody told me what II came to find out after much research is that building costs alone with all the city building requirements would bring costs for a new build to double what it would cost to buy an existing house. Then electric would cost so much to connect it was insane. Wells costed around 20k because the ground is very hard. And to put a final nail in the coffin the county was no longer issuing permits for new builds unless they either had a well or city water - no trucked tank water allowed, though many houses in the area were grandfathered in with water tanks. The property was 1 mile from a water main at the cost of $55 a foot to extend the main would costs hundreds of thousands. 700 ft from an electric pole with transformer meant at least 14 poles would be required at possibly 18 grand per pole. Many more costs could not even be closely estimated until you're actually in over your head. I realized why there is no new construction in the area. Only selling were fixer uppers and existing houses. I finally was admitted to by the realtor that land parcels aren't selling. So actually there is much more research involved if you want to avoid being stuch with paying for useless land and also paying taxes every year for nothing. Buyers beware, do your due diligence. Dont get too excited thinking you scored an amazing deal only to get roped into a money pit.
just what I was gonna say- suburban AND CALIFORNIA- naturally there's a lot of red tape to navigate- CA land is very valuable and the codes are there to reflect that popularity.
CA is a whole different animal than ANY other state. CA is the worst. Red tape hell, and huge costs. Places with limited building and zoning codes don't have the same problems as CA.
+Ozark Off Grid Family While others are making excuses and complaining about the title being misleading, you are actually doing something about it and becoming self-sufficient.
This was really great!!! Amazing info! 🙏🏽. However, I would change the title to no bank instead of no money. Because it seems like you still need $ to buy.
This video should be called how to get land "without a credit check"? Also, Never never never buy land without getting a perc test first. A lot of sellers/agents will try to do everything they can NOT to have it done and squirrel their way out of getting a septic perc test.
nice video thanks very much Becky.. would like to add.... stay away from rent to own deals where the owner may ride in and say you are not maintaining some aspect, and kick you off the land keeping the deposits and improvements. Renting is ok.. .but renting and improving as if you already had title and the other guy still has a say.. is very dangerous for everyone.
Jim Burns, Jr. There's really no such thing as "rent to own." That's just a mortgage. If the owner ever comes to try and boot you off, that's when you go talk with a lawyer.
i magin you wont have time to convince the many people who signed private contracts for private rent to own agreements and got booted off the land after a time of paying and improving because the owner stipulated in the contract some little detail of maintenance would warrant termination of the contract. Maybe it isnt as much of a problem these days.. i hope not.. can be abused from any angle as any contract is apt to be. very glad you have had good success... n thank you for the inspiring video.
Jim Burns, Jr. It's never a problem, unless you let yourself be screwed from ignorance. All rent to own land contracts are mortgages, and require foreclosure. Moreover, almost every state has a redemption period by law, so if it really is a technicality, it should't be a problem to fix.
Thanks for the video, but I still can't figure out how a poor person can buy property and build a house without any money or credit. It's like teaching someone to cook a huge thanksgiving meal without having any food.
I watched this beginning of 2020, now I own a large farm in a very expensive South Africa that even my grand kids will benefit from. Thank you so much 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
"Owner carry" is a dangerous way to purchase property. You don't hold the deed, so if the owner decides to take it back at any time, they can. You have no recourse. Also, if the owner loses the property through bankruptcy......again, you have no recourse. It's not your property unless you hold the deed.
Hello, how do you go about this? Would you need to go through the bank for a deed or is there an option for paying an owner and getting it? Sounds like no but I thought I would ask since I actually dont know how this stuff works
I know a guy that went with owner financing. He made on time payments for 10yrs or more and then the guy was buying from got foreclosed from his bank. The guy paying the real owner didn't even know the property was in foreclosure till the filing and 6 months of payments due to the bank. Get you a lawyer if you want to go this way and protect yourself.
Ms. Becky, thank you very much! When you mentioned you had two little kids when you started it made me happy. I have a little girl and the thought of taking this on has been a bit intimidating. Great information thanks! I don't know why it's tagged for poor people, this is for wise people starting out!
She is so right. I bought a beautiful historic home with owner finance for super cheap. 5 year payment plan and it'll be all mine. Best decision I ever made.
+eddieisfiction ahhhhh NO the title is misleading and 2 who looks up "one way poor people can buy land with no money" This was a suggested video and I watched it. While it's helpful it's not really for poor people which kinda starts the misleading. What kind of idiot arrogantly thinks other people have no business with here without knowing the individual personally, Yourself? What kinda sad individual goes on TH-cam to belittle people rather than to help out a little? Yourself?
thats what i was wondering she mentioned doing a lot of things but most of them cost money besides the cost of the land so its not homesteading in my opinion its maybe farming but thats iffy too with that small of a property
I did something similar 30 years ago. I looked for months and found a house built in 1910 and had little to no improvements since. It included an acre of land, a barn and great chicken house large enough for a business selling organic eggs as it was set up with 20 laying boxes and large area for the hens to have freedom and safety from predators. My hens layed 3 eggs per hen per day, minimum. I also had horses, goats, ducks, geese and african pea fowl. I planned to add sheep and possibly a milk cow. Since it was not completely up to code the owners could not sell it conventionally but by an owner contract. The price was $29,000 and we lived in the sticks a few hundred feet from the upper (clean, clear rapids) Tualatin. I was diagnosed with a disabling condition which causes chronic pain - thus, I could no longer work and had to sell my dream farm - those were the happiest days of my and my children's lives. I still want to try to find another small fixer-upper for a bargain again now that my pain is under control through a pain management clinic. Almost 20yrs on opioids with no incident and I'm able to function on a limited basis. Better than being bed-ridden. So, folks, it's still do-able for a poor person to buy a home!
I'm sorry that you had to go through all that pain for years and feeling opioid switch you're so bad for you because they tend to age people terribly. Have you tried the CBD oil and have you looked at the videos and read the comments of all the people who are being healed of so many ailments and people are even using it for epilepsy and even using it for epilepsy and their cats and dogs. My neighbor was hit by a car and could not sleep because of all the pain she was in... she got the CBD oil and she said she finally can sleep at night
Becky, great advice! I've never been much of a farmer or "homesteader" but I would love to stop wasting $800 every month on paying rent. I would love to be able to buy a tiny acre in the woods somewhere and buy an old camping trailer to live in or even build one of those tiny houses that seem to becoming very popular. I'm not fancy, I don't need much. Think it's doable?
be careful of land sellers that want 200 dollars to start paper work and instead of land deed they email you a 50 page rental agreement with the claus that they can evict you for any reason, when they know you plan to build a small house on it. more than likely everything will be kosher until the house is built then they will kick you off the property, keep your house then sell it to someone else for more.
Exactly, there are some honest people out there. But for every 1 honest man there are 3 more dishonest people beside them. People will cut you down and burn you to further their own gain.

Did I miss something here? The title says "One Way Poor People Can Buy Land With No Money" no way are buy "KEY WORD BUY" anything with no money... you have a few nice tips but they all cost money....
+Kristy Moore Seriously Kristy? Everybody I know files a tax RETURN to get back money they overpaid on their taxes. Some even get money they didn't overpay in the form of the "Earned Income tax Credit" and end up with a couple of thousand dollars in their pocket to "spend" anyway they want. Obviously you have just enough taxes taken out of your income that you neither have to pay in or get back money. Good for you! If you're just being technical and don't understand what she means, then that's your problem to deal with.
+DirtyHarry G Dude, no everyone does not get money back. I prepare tax returns for lots of people, and there are many poor and broke people that owe additional tax upon filing their returns. Return is the paperwork you file with the IRS. Refund is an overpayment of tax, either because of excessive withholding or refundable credits. EIC is not a guarantee of a refund. I have personally completed returns for individuals who qualified for EIC but did not receive refunds due to SET. In addition, this woman keeps saying "no money". Last time I checked, IRS refunds were issued in American dollars, not moldy bananas.
I remember watching this several years ago wishing I had my own land...Now I own 32 acres in the mountains. Thanx Becky.

Make sure you do this with a attorney. Make the deal with the owner. And then get a attorney to draw up the land contract and research the title. DO NOT DO THIS WITHOUT A ATTORNEY.

Where do you find land ? Do you have connections ?
@@mzkeia2u did you get the help you were looking for?
I bought my 10 Acres of land with (owner carry) in 2012 so I didn't have to qualify. I was a single mother with no extra money to put down and not good enough credit. Only thing I had was a decent job. The property has a private well and a manufactured house on it. The land is flat so is all usable. Paid off the property in 2016 so now I don't have a house payment.
Having a job to pay for incremental purchases of supplies and tools, a dependable vehicle to get you back and forth to work is a must for anyone attempting to homestead. A lot of challenges will lie ahead. Luxuries will be far in the future. Lucky woman, but the hard work paid off, my respect.
How much did you pay for it and where?
It totally depends on the area. In Maine, it's doable. Connecticut, no way. You have to be flexible and move, that's hard for most people.
That's what I am trying to do.
Please speak numbers
I just closed on 40 acres. No down payment, No credit check and a monthly payment of $93.50 that starts in six months. The key is finding a motivated seller. Thanks Becky!

We recently bought almost 4 acres. I understand the idea of wanting flat land, but we didn't have that option in our price range, and we bought a home on a bluff overlooking the Mississippi. However, we have been very creative and we're using the whole space, even though it's slanted in many areas. We have a sloped drain field for sewage, and we created mowed paths in it and planted wild grasses and wild flowers to attract bees, with a water feature for birds and a bench. We planted/are planting more fruit trees in another sloped area. We have some areas where the bluff was cut into, and so it's a completely vertical dirt wall; we are planting climbing hardy kiwi plants there. We planted 14 grape plants on a slope going up. We planted elderberry, blueberries, blackberries, raspberries (and bonus, lots of wild black raspberries already growing here). We planted a hedge of American hazelnuts. In the flatter areas, we have a large fenced garden, and chicken coop (although they free range). We're adding more garden space this summer up on a flatter spot halfway up the bluff, and even edging the borders of the woods with additional plants. Anyway, all that to say... Yes, flat areas are sure easier to get started on and may have more usable space, but other than the woodsy areas we have that are all trees (where we made fun hiking paths for the kids to enjoy), we're using every bit of the land for both enjoyment and food production, and in time, we'll have an abundance of edibles! ❤️ Plus it adds variety and interest to the space, and we get to enjoy a beautiful view too.
That sounds wonderful. Congratulations on your success.
@Hope and truth Wow! Sounds fantastic, Congratulations! 🙏
I have some sloped property and you have given me so great ideas. Thank you
@@wbanks3749 glad I posted this then! I hope you can find lots of creative ways to use your current space. 🙂
Sounds beautiful
Good morning Becky. My story is, about 7 years ago, I was just driving around and I saw a beautiful piece of land in NW Arkansas. When I contracted the realtor about it, I was told that the previous owner of the land has passed and none of his children had ever lived in the state. My realtor told me they just wanted it sold ASAP. I made a low ball offer for cash and it was accepted. It was listed at 7.2 acres, I had it surveyed and it turned out to be 8.5. There's a seasonal creek that runs along the back.
My dream property! One with a creek!
Wow!
God bless!
Can I do this in Canada?I live in Edmonton Canada.
We did this last January.. We found 2 Acres that had a mobile home on it...So there is a well and septic here.. We used our income tax as the down payment... Over the last year we have fixed up the mobile. We are very very happy with this purchase.. We will own it out right in 4 more years :)
Good going!!! I'm so happy for you! It is so nice to live on a homestead and is really good for kids to grow up on a homestead and learn about where food comes from and how to produce some. Also how to work hard and take care of their self. Things that are better learned when you are little. ❤️🐔🐝🐷☀️
Wish I could find the same- happy for you tho
Thanks so much for the testimonial.
how much was the dwn payment?
what state did you buy in
This video gives me so much hope. I'm so sick of having nothing 😢 I'm not afraid to work for it I just literally have no example or direction on how to begin. Thank you for giving me some direction. 🤗
There are free volunteering opportunities where you join communities families or just people who need help and give you shelter, food for it while you are working 3 to 5 hours per day learning some skills. Workaway is one such site.
@@gytisdobrovolskis7355 That is interesting information. Thank you for sharing. However that doesn't sound like a desirable situation.
@@ChantaBrite it's learning and experience, just suggestion have fun with your life 😁
I think that's what most of us need - some instruction/direction on how to get things done.
Well the "great reset" says "you will own nothing and be happy" what a crock hey. I don't know who they think they are but their plan is going to backfire. blessings.
Even if you had great credit the banks don't loan on raw land, even if you put down 90% cash the banks still won't make the 10% loan. The best way to find properties is by contacting land owners through the county assessors records, write them all, once you get a seller talk to them about carrying the paper (owner carry back). There are many reasons why an owner will want to carry or you can convince them that it will be great for them because of multiple factors. 1. Capital gains, if they get the full cash value they may have to pay big time to the IRS, 2. Taxes, you will now be paying the taxes 3. Maintenance, the owner is done taking care of the place that's now your problem. 4. There going to make money on the carry interest rate plus whatever you put down. 5. You can do the title work yourself by checking the county records because that's all the title company is going to do and they usually do a shitty job lol. 6. Write your own contract and terms, you'll find tons of examples in the net. 6. Don't use a realtor, NEVER! 7. GET TO KNOW THE LAND OWNER, FORM A RELATIONSHIP, THEY MAY LIKE YOU AND Want you to have the property for literally hundreds of thousands of dollars less than they could sell it for or whatever the amount involved. They may not like realtors or the property has issues they don't want to deal with and you assure them that if they sell to you you'll take care of those problems. 8. Don't listen to friends or family even your wife if they tell you it can't be done, it can. I've made millions doing the above formula, now stop screwing around and go for it. Your welcome. Oh yeah pray for guidance which is actually the most important tip I have. AMDG
THANK YOU!!! I’m a mother/wife/grandmother and I’m disabled with my 7 yr autistic son living on social security. Years ago I was in nursing until I broke my neck n back. First GOD got me out of bed then out of the house moving and enjoying life again. ThenGOD put this video in from of me to see as we were living in Detroit renting and a cost of living so high we weren’t making it. You gave me the courage and resources to start looking for another place/way to live. 2 years later we have a homestead in the Ozarks of Arkansas and my son is being raised in the woods learning how to provide for himself. I cant/don’t want to imagine what our life would be now during this pandemic!!! Becky keep on with the videos many of us watch learn and are surviving even if you don’t hear all the good!
❤❤❤❤❤❤
Praise the Lord Im so happy for you.!!!!
It is not 'autistic', it is vaccine damaged by design.
I know it was vaccines!! All 3 of my daughters received vaccines after the 1986 order that vaccine companies could not be sued for vaccine induced injuries. 1 daughter was deemed disabled by social security before age 3. All 5 of my grandsons are speech impaired, autistic, and other psychological issues. All 5 has either done a different vaccine schedule or non vaccinated, in the end they are all affected. My past family medical history or my spouse has any psychological or neurological conditions or even concerns. I’m very active in vaccine injury awareness, thank you for doing the same.
Mother.Tressa are they still being affected by the vaccines. Wondering how safe the covid 19 vaccines will be?
I just want to say thank you for this video I did what you said and landed 2 acres with with owner financing,I just want to say thank you 🙏🏾
So happy for you! Congratulations
How? Can you share details with me?
Wow that’s so great
@playjazz87 Congratulations 🥳 where did you purchase?
Congrats
Becky, I have bought vacant land twice. Both times were financial gold in results. My last purchase I did on 12 acres and negotiated a 10 year 3% loan owner carry. Came with good well and good concrete septic (house burned down)... everything you said is true, I would add a few more things. There is a list of things people need to research before buying vacant land, like>> easements, mineral rights, water rights, building restrictions, property tax rate, agriculture status, drilling well depth/availability to water, I would also recommend visiting the county/city zoning and planning department to learn all about the property before buying. PS I have 77 chickens and love your videos!
Could you expand on the information you stated. What is important to be aware of when it comes to well depth for one and what type of building restrictions might you encounter? Plus anything else you can think of. Thanks in advance. Eager to buy land soon.
@@KrystalNCMA Depends on where you live- my parents bought great land when we moved to this province, and they dug three wells, none had or held water. The water table was way further down. They had to drill 187 feet down, which was and still is incredibly expensive to do, thousands and thousands of dollars to drill, and the water was not good, full of calcium, really hard lime, needed a waterer softener, etc. My property looks boring with a little trailer and barns, but I have a 100 foot drilled well that has never gone dry, a good septic, fruit trees, mushrooms, greenhouse, and lots of chickens. For that, for the safety of having good water, you could not separate us from our land, not ever. I've filled the pond with a hose and never had that little 2 inch well bore go dry, even for a moment in drought. Priceless. Might be the nicest place in the world, but if you have no water, you have nothing.
Can u dm me @stargirlraichu Instagram
Excellent advice !
@@KrystalNCMA Well drilling and type very depending on the location. I would pay the money for a good local experienced well driller (worth the money). Expanding on the restrictions you may come across easements that will allow utility companies of neighbors to build road on your land or can use your road, 2 building and code laws (some land is unbuildable), 3. Rights Mineral and water rights (ex. you don't want a company drilling for oil on your land and you can do nothing to stop them. the key is having NO SURPRISES after you buy the land. You want to know all problems you can incur. It is likely most land will not have problems, but if you don't know the problems ahead of time, you might have a complete mess to deal with and can result in a financial loss.
Becky you have inspired me. Your positive attitude and trust that we could all do this motivates me to keep going in life. Right now it’s very difficult to pay rent and I have stopped seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. Coming across this video has been such a blessing and I’m excited to start a new journey with a new purpose. Thank you for being a light in this world. ❤️
I love this lady! I feel like she's hilarious in real life, and she's trying to be serious in this video.
Shes like that aunty in the family who knows a little bit of everything, has too many pets, is kind of bonkers and everybody just adores her
I love her spirit..seems like a good, salt of the earth person.
Hahaha I feel the same.
Carol White I love her too! I would like to be her friend.
I feel the same. I love her to pieces!!!
I bought half acre in Timberon with my stimulus checks! Thank you Becky for all your information, very helpful! Don't mind the negative Trolls on here.
Hey! How much did you pay if you don’t mind me asking?👀
Did u research flood and swamp zones
You women are incredibly awsome. 👍
This is outstanding 🇺🇸
You are Awesome ❤
@@KarinBretz-lx6yv I love you
Yes!! This is what we are doing. We found 2.5 acres of land owner financed. 3k down and 300 a month, no bank, no qualifying.
The owner is working with us and waiting for tax time.
SpoiledCurlyGurl hey girl, congrats! Did you find your land in the newspaper like she said?
Update?
That’s phenomenal. Can you give an update?
Wow! That is so amazing 😊🌸 very happy for you and gives me hope! 💛
If you dont mind me asking, how much is the total cost if the property you owe/have to pay off? Was it $10,000 or over 100,000?
Awesome! Congrats! Thanks for sharing.
I love you!!! I lost my mom and my sister when I was very young! I am now married with 4kids and we want a homestead! My kids want it most! I thank you so much for ALL your videos! It's like I have a question or worry, or making plans and I feel like I just asked my mom or sister for advice and there you are! Thank God I found you and thank you again for all the awesome information! Much love and success to you 🙏❤️
“A closed mouth never gets fed”, sometimes if you really want something can’t be afraid to just ask
Yes. Nearly 50, and as I look back at my life I see how being too shy or scared to ask for help or speak up has hurt me. I've done okay in life, but things could have been so much better and a little easier if I'd asked a few more questions.
"You wont get to eat if you dont let her know you are hungry" same statement applied to dating. :P
Spot on!
That is my husband's favorite saying!
One thing you might want to tell people (especially if it is existing unimproved land)is look for a sycamore and/or a maple tree. They drink about 400 gal. Of water a day each. There's water. A well might have to be drilled, but it's there.
That's really good information
Hum
Great tip!
Platanes are a good sign along with Arundo grass, sedges, buttercups(ranunculus ).
That's what my grandad said and sure as hell we went down a little over 100 ft and had crystal clear gold!!
I have been a real estate investor for many many years, and I will be straight with you...no one has ever simplified the process like her. I'm impressed.
Great to know. Single mom about to start this process. Thanks for the comment.
Most people procrastinate because they're unsure. We over analyze because we're unsure. Just do it anyway. Time costs lives, Most times it amaze me greatly the way I moved from an average lifestyle to earning over $63k per month, utter shock is the word. I have understood a lot in the past few years to doubt that opportunities are bound in the financial markets, The only thing is to know where to focus.
@Everett Moore That won't bother you if you trade with a professional like *Mr Gary Mason Brooks* my coach, you may have come across him on interviews relating to bitcoin. He trades, manage trading account and offer mentorship program for clients who wish to become professional investors.
Wow I can't believe you guys are discussing about *Mr Gary Mason Brooks* , I once met him at a conference in California 2019, just before the pandemic. I can testify that he’s very good in trading..Highly recommended.
@jasonlauu Yes i do, I've known him for couple of years , I'm still using his services , His management team is quite impressive so far.... with my $15,000 deposit, I made over $288,000 profit with just 10% charge.
@Everett Moore It's 100% safe and legal , He’s an expert trader on stocks and crypto. I basically do nothing but collect profits, he was able to get me in early on most of these stocks and I exited just at the right time, his analysis was really on point.
@Everett Moore *Google his name*
I recently heard of another 'cheap' way to buy land from a neighbor: Go to your county's tax collector to see if they will have auctions on land where (most often absent-) owners have not paid their taxes and the county claims their land, then sells it at auction. Apparently some have sold for as little as a few hundred bucks.
in what area?? Im in California.
SubtleKnowledge - YES PLEASE TELL ME WHAT AREAS! THANKS !
Property taxes fund many of our essential services. Tax lien deals pay this so that the county gets the money it needs. Most of the time the buyer gets it together to finally pay off the lien, but you will get some nice interest. And Robin DeGrace - you can do this all across the country.
#Pat Riot Jefferson Paying property tax or not makes the difference between a civilized country and a bongo-bongo land. If you people think of the US as the world's leading nation, pay taxes, otherwise you people are just a joke.
better yet check out the lands owners and go to them to see if they are living any living or died some people might passed away without any living relatives follow that through to see if there any living descendant the land could go to and if they aren't going to want to keep it ask them if they allow you to by it since it is in their family then there isn't no sin with the owners and your able to obtain the land with there agreement , it getting the government to see they shouldn't be charging a tux on people property, were all born into this life not to be servants over the other person, as their slavery doing service unto them or that take our land as their possession and make us evicted lessors to them as owners thereof for the taxes they access against our things our land house , if we dont pay their access property taxes they levy against out land, tax! supposedly agasint the law well that's how they want it to be understood and interpreted by mean-men, the son abideth forever dont be leasers holy bible said ! or take it from them makes us all leasers when they're in control over your property if you dont pay them a tax!

In Becky's defense, she's talking about people who are living paycheck to paycheck with no additional money to save. She isn't talking about financially destitute people. It isn't that hard to read between the lines of the videos title. Did any of you come here seriously thinking you were going to BUY something with no money? Do people even think anymore, or do they just speak off of emotion all of the time?
So rather than expecting people to be honest and say what they mean, you expect everyone to 'read between the lines'? *_Can't spell lines without lies._* She was correctly accused of clickbaiting. The title is a lie. It says very clearly *One Way Poor People Can Buy Land With No Money.* I'd ask why you feel the need to defend a blatant liar, but that's the society we live in, I guess.
+david esktorp Awesome response I must say!
Thanks! :)
***** Aw, shut the eff up. You act as though everyone has the ability to be a linguistics expert.
Clint R Well, actually no, it's the opposite. The nuances you're describing are fairly complicated. For example, no money does not mean some money; no≠some. You don't need to be a linguistics expert to understand that. The problem is that our society encourages people to speak with extreme generalization. It would be like if I made a video about getting a raise and promotion from your boss entitled *_How To Do No Work And Earn All The Money_*
We just found a nice house in town that we moved into a year ago. Honestly the nicest, least trashy home weve both ever lived in and we were so proud. No debt other than the mortgage. But in the past few months weve come to realize why weve been so down in the dumps. We need fresh air, nature, and to just live simply. Ive been a stay at home mom for five years with no means for transportation and i want nothing more than to stay at home in a natural environment and not ten feet from my neighbors when i step out for air
Jammy Jammich local garden plants
My brother and sister-in-law just bought a brand new, absolutely beautiful house and are raising their 18-month-old daughter... but as much as we love and admire their gorgeous home, we also drive away from it thankful for our patch of land and garden. They have such small yards and are shoved cheek-to-cheek into an area with a bunch of other people. Anything they do or say in their backyard OR front yard can be heard by their neighbors. The development has some communal living assets like a basketball court and and a pool and a picnic pavilion... but I personally can't imagine being locked into the same house on a hill in the same neighborhood for 30 years without room to plant a tree in my front yard, or the privacy to do what I like in my backyard.
@@sarahwillig474 that is exactly what were going through! Though we dont have any assets like that to even enjoy. We cant even save money to move out the cost heree is so high

Bought 37 acres 3 years ago after watching this video. Hoping to buy a farm now. I comeback and watch it every once in awhile. Still the best video on the topic.
How much did it cost?
Why she make me feel so much better about myself 🥺
I live in the Missouri Ozarks. My property has very hilly to moderately level land. I have to say that hills can be a godsend as gravity is your friend. Not having enough money to drill a well and given that every state around Missouri allows fracking, I was concerned about the contamination of the Midwest aquifer. Eventually, that water would be unfit to use for animals, people, or plants. I opted to catch the rain for my water supply. I catch water on the hill above my cabin which collects into a 2500 gallon cistern. The water gravity feeds down to where I need it without electricity, pumps, or moving parts of any kind. Without my hill and in the event of losing power which we often do (we once lost power due to a storm for 4 days), I would have NO water. My simple system cost about 1/4 of a well, is better water, and no matter what happens I have had it when others did not. So when Becky says buy level land, I would disagree. Hilly land is usually cheaper, makes for better views, and usually comes with a forest. I heat with wood so my water and heating bills are zero. Jes' sayin'. Each situation is different and good luck to everyone in your land search.
Ken Boschert , Hi Ken, please make videos. Thanks for your comment. Happy New Year!
i dug a shallow well by hand let the ground filter the rain water or havent you seen and looked into what they are spraying in the air all day everyday
Fracking does not get into water supply this was a myth started by some hairy legged femnazi that smell like patchouli. I'm in the business and live where I frack so you think I would poison myself?
Ken Boschert sounds like you got peace & quiet where you are but I'd never know how to work on the car if it broke down ( I could get a pushbike lol)~
It's so bad the Govt.have allowed Fracking all over that wild old country near where you live ~ the government are idiots~ all the native animals will eventually die.
did you put a roof up on a shed to catch the rain up on.the hill & run into a gutter? Thankyou.
Scott Sullivan
Sounds like governments and big businesses are going stark raving rabid mad! That is sacrilege if they can BAN a man from collecting water any way he can
It's getting so bad with water pollution now, no idea where this madness is going to end?
Will it ever go back to clean water & clean air? I doubt that big business will allow that. I live out in the country but that doesn't stop them polluting the air, polluting the rivers & polluting people's brains so they all think Fracking is no big deal.
In Australia the Government sells water & power to other states & Asia cheaper than they charge their own people.
Thank you Becky. I just want to let you know you inspired us to buy some land for our future homestead (Right after bankruptcy and a foreclosure thanks to the IRS and overwhelming debt). I named it Brambleberry Creek. We are moving there in a few months to start our future! God bless you and keep you happy for a long, long time! Not only did we get 18 acres in the Ozarks, but we got a creek and spring. It's stunning and no building codes since we bought in a township. After a deposit of $2000 with a 10 year Lease to Own Contract it's only $350 a month. But you should know there were much cheaper down payments like $500. Thanks again. You rock!
How’s life on your new property? 💕
Where did you buy your land?
You may want to watch Traditional Homesteading they use ground covering to grow food because weeds are so bad. But they have become successful and self sufficient with a lot of hard work.
Beware of land contracts with owners. Make sure an attorney drafts your contract.

You won't find anything that tall in the Ozarks --- much less a mountain that's as tall as Mount Ranier, which is taller than Mount Baker, and which is farther away.

Thank you for your advice, answered a lot of questions. I'm 62-year-old veteran. That's living on his SSI, and VA Benefits. Been saving money to buy my own land. My dream is to one day own my own property and live out my days home steading it.
I took your advice on finding 'cheaper' land just out-side our county lines; First, I started driving in 20 mile 'grids' each week (joy rides) taking notes on land prices in that area-- and noting how close main roads were to the area, and, I took photos and started making calls on properties we had on the list. Got a feel for what the owners were really wanting and why it was selling.
2. I looked for land from 2-5 acres. I Google searched and made my list from 'land and farm' sites. I stopped and knocked on farmer's doors and talked to them in fields. You'd be surprised at how much of other ppl business they do know. If farmer John knows Farmer Ken might sell his family old barn land off...he may just advise you call farmer Ken to see if the rumor stands as true! This is how we found out a farmer died, his wife, remarrying, and arguing with an ex-inlaw, over the inherited rights to the land, wanted to sell her part of the inheritance so the arguing would stop. She wasn't farming anymore and just wanted to cash out and run. I don't blame her, but it gave me a good deal!
Before her family member could give an offer, I got the info and raced to view the land, I found out from the sign in the yard that she had just put it on the market through a farm management company. Only on the market 3 days. I called her realtor and met his son out at the property. He acted like he didn't really have the time of day for us. Not sure why?? But, the next morning, after quickly calling in an inspector to meet us there, we took 3 hours to view the land and discuss our needs and it met all 22 criteria!! We had a go for the land. Location was even 12 minutes closer to our daughter by gaining access to a nearby main roadway!
I called back her realtor and gave him a full price, cash offer on the 5 acres only and she agreed and signed that night. We had land surveyed for closing a few months later when crops were out of the field (can't survey in a tall corn field). *He was happy to tell his buyer he'd just wrote up the offer and sold the land in under 3 days, and, I was happy because this land was 1/2 or 1/3 price of the land prices in our area
This is not a comment, it’s an essay
@@scottcollins799 And, it highly informative too!
Ahhhh thank you!!! I’ve always wanted to do this but I’ve never bought property before and all the points you raised were things I never even considered!!! I lost my job a few months ago because of Covid and decided I’m done being a slave to the system and homesteading seems like the way back to sanity. At the beginning of this month I packed up all my stuff, left Phoenix, and now I’m in IL trying to start my dream.
O yhwh 👀 help me to do this
did you find that Illinois was a good place to homestead?

Oh my gosh!!!! Thank you sooooo much!!!!! My mom, my sister, and I have been wanting to live in the country for years but could never afford it. We want a farm so bad that we literally have chickens in our teeny backyard and we live in a duplex 🤣 And what’s funny is our landlord has no idea🤦♀️ I just wanted to thank you so much for creating this. My mom has bad credit and we’re basically poor. Because of this video we may get our dream house within a quick amount of time. I am now forever a fan and forever grateful 🙏 Thanks again ❤️
This vid changed my life! Came back to say thanks. We began looking for our homestead with NO money in 2017 and by early summer 2020 we saved up just under 30k and was able to do an owner contract from a nice man we met randomly in a cafe and he liked us so he sold us this land here we are living on and gardening on. Dont give up faith. God bless you all
Also get a title insurance!!! I had a title company and even with that I still had title issues 5 Yrs after the buy. Thank goodness I had title insurance. They fixed everything for me.
What problems did you have?

Also make sure it isnt a federal wetland and make sure you own the mineral rights as well
Some states don't have separate mineral rights. But I understand. Good idea to remind people. To make sure the mineral rights come with the property wherever you are.
Ok Farmer Nate, what's wrong with federal wetlands? I couldn't find anything specific, and I really would like to be able to have some knowledge of caveats for this type of land. Tks.
+Chuffing Ale Federals wetlands are protected and can't be improved such as filling in or altering.
Chuffing Ale Federal wetlands are basically 'hands-off'. No improving the land at all. Im also pretty sure you cant even cut down a tree. They are basically useless other than hunting
+Farmer Nate You are correct! Wetlands are nothing more than mosquito farms you're stuck paying taxes on. It's not too bad to have a little wetland on a property, but buying a property that is mostly wetlands is a mistake on many levels. Stay away from them.
Has anyone heard about Billy land deals, you can get some really low priced land with low monthly payments on that site , California Oregon , Texas , they offer some great deals , I want to make the step in that direction , buying an acre and putting something on it would be so rewarding , even living in an RV on your own piece of land and putting up a place later , is better than throwing your money away renting or a high 30 year mortgage, my God, you just need to love the outdoors and be willing to do some hard work , being able to build something yourself is really rewarding, you could put up a barn home or pole shed if you wanted to , it wouldn't take much
Some chickens and rabbits and a big vegetable garden , solar and a well is all I would need
You could live comfortable and mortgage free , I'm going to see if I can find something good up in Oregon
I check it out and yeah it's pretty interesting. Thanks for sharing.
You might want to read up about Oregon......that would not be a good place to go.

Aw. Thank you !! We have 3 horses , and getting married in 4 weeks. We are ready to do this. Thank you for the positive reassurance.
I love your videos. Started watching when I used to live in town on top of people, it seemed...now I have my own homestead
Thank you Becky. Right now we own just about an acre. Which is fine because with Gods help we will have it payed off in 5 years. We also had our daughter name put on it, both her dad and I have health problems. Hubby is a liver and kidney transplant patient and I have stage 4 cancer. But this should help our daughter to be able to get a bigger piece of land. An all the tips you have give through out you videos . I'm going to try and get your book for her birthday. Because you make everything nice and simple, that if we're not here she'll have that.
P.S. This may sound silly but back in September when we found out that I had stage 4 ,I had to stay in the hospital for a little over a month. I found your videos and they would halp to make me calm. So an extra thank you.
+Maniac Mom That's rough I hope things get better for you and your family.
I'm sorry that you are going through this I hope all goes well and I will pray for you God bless
+T RopE (trope34) Over 100 people that lived to be over 100 were interviewed. The ONE thing they all had in common, they weren't vegetarians.
I don't consider raising your own animals as unethical. You know what they have eaten, you know they aren't hormone injected, you KNOW the animal. If we weren't meant to eat a little meat from time to time, God wouldn't have put all the animals here. Considering our teeth have booth cutting teeth and crushing teeth, we were meant to eat meat.
What is unethical is the way they keep animals meant for mass production.
I don't want to argue either. Everybody should live in the way that is conducive with their beliefs and of course good moral values.
I didn't say eat a lot. American's eat far too much meat. 6 ounces daily should be max. The vast majority of your diet should be fruits and vegetables. That's common knowledge. As for looking an animal in the eye before killing them, nobody does that. If you can and you feel good about it, you have more problems than the choice of eating meat or not eating meat.
Peace.
this is sO beautiful and inspirational. I couldn't agree more about what you've said about Becky and what you're doing for your daughter. My prayers go out to your family. Blessings
Thanks for the great advice! I looked about 40 mikes away from where I live and was able to find a piece of raw land with water share. He is Financing it for me with a very small down under 3k. I would never have thought to do this but here I am, just divorced and single mom and property owner! Putting a used mobile home on it in a few month. May not be much but it's mine.
Chris Jay So happy for you!!! Congratulations!
John Perdue that’s pretty fucked up! Chris Jay... I hope you’re flourishing! Congratulations!
Whoa! Sounds like your X took you to the 'cleaners'. As a 'divorced' mom of two whose dad didn't think he had to pay child support -- and knew that their mother didn't need him -- I did pretty much what Becky suggested. But I did it more than thirty years ago. So, not all women are gold diggers or leeches. Just as all men are not wankers, losers, users, or sad dads. And 'sometimes' a single mom might just be a widow. smh
Where do u live?
John Purdue
I'm not sure why you assume that a divorced female with kids means that she is an unwed mother...
Not sure where you're getting this from and also where your bitterness is coming from.... something is not right... the resentment you have towards a stranger does not make sense
If I was 30-years younger and knew about this when I was in my early 20's, I definitely would have gone this route instead of the standard/typical lifestyle (further your education after high school like a college or trade school, buy a house in the suburbs, have a family, keeping up with the neighbors next door, and working a job you don't like to pay for it all so you can retire in 30-40 years. Sounds very possible and positive feedbacks I'm reading from people who have done this (and the positive opinion from a real estate agents comment). The only thing she REALLY need to address is you have to do A LOT OF HARD PHYSICAL WORK to make a farm work and be profitable to make your payments.
Thank you Becky!!! I watched your video during the pandemic. I was nervous, scared and happy but did what you said... I saved some of my stimulus and tax money in 2022. I purchased 2 acres. It's been crazy but fun getting this together.
Praise God! This is what I needed! I'm a single mom of four & work 2 jobs just to make it in Denver.
I moved away from there 7 yrs ago. it was always expensive, but to the point to ridiculous now. I've lived all over the country. Back east, in the south, and in the west. The west is by far my favorite and I've lived in California, Utah, AZ, and Colorado. I lived in SE Denver. Colorado is okay, but it's not all that and a bag of chips like many of the people in the state act like it is. It has some nice areas and some really run down areas just like everywhere else I've lived. I'm more a water sports person and I've been to all the surrounding reservoirs and I wasn't that impressed compared to living in CA and AZ. definitely isn't worth what they are asking for housing.
@@megostop9650 I hate it here & I'm a native, yes it's expensive & not worth it. I want to leave & really don't know where to go, but I'm so glad that you did this video. The cold weather really hurts my body & it's just too Crowded. I'm in South Denver.

Tennessee looks like an excellent place to live off the grid based on my research.
Please elaborate I live in Memphis right now, but I have to stop renting...
I'm new to this model and ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT! Thanks for sharing. It's so great to consider a world where people can buy and sell land/property from one another without the banks playing a roll. Cheers Homesteaders!
Thank you so much Becky. I bought my very first property at 22. Owner financing. I didn’t know exactly what I was doing at the time however I’ve always been a great record keeper. Cashed out on it years later. Bought l9 others since. Rented the 1st for years then I recently did a land contract with a buyer to help fund a 4 acre property. Girl I’m loving this video so much confidence here !! Thank u
I look forward to purchasing duplexes soon.
Saving this video as a reminder and inspiration that our dreams of homesteading are reachable without having to spend 100's of thousands of dollars or getting a large loan from the bank. Very very encouraging thank you 🌸💛
You think you could do an updated video for an option/what it could look like for someone who does have credit, average to good credit? What those options could look like? Or would it be the same as what you advise here just with bigger money limits available?
Thanks again 😊
How are you doing today my name is Eric Moore and how is the weather over there
Becky, you’re an angel! There’s nothing wrong in being working class, yet the push to move up in the social ladder is strong, and if I saw your video (or some other video like yours), with a pride in being who you are, I’d not waste my time pursuing a middle class or even upper middle class position. Thank you so much for your honest, sweet and caring video - these are the true working class values.
hey! im looking for land, Im a poor person, i feel hopeless! this videos perfect for me!
I REALLY appreciate this information. You've done your homework girl.
Thanks, it worked perfect for me ☀️❤️☀️
you can get raw, off grid land in most western states for $500 acre, and usually very little down on owner finance, but it will be remote. Be prepared to use solar, wind, or generator, and also haul water or dig a well. There are some places where the water table is high, but plan on $1500 per ft. Also be ready to drive 20 - 100 miles for goods and services.
$1500 per foot for a water well? I think you need to remove those two zeros. The average cost is somewhere between $15-40, with most being towards the low end of that range.
Dave Casey
that's what I've been told, but then I am in southern Arizona, 😎
I don't know where you are Dave, but here in FAR WEST Texas, what Cave Canem said is TRUE! IF you are lucky enough to even find someone willing to drill for water-its very scarce out here. Most of the time it is not even drinkable. You have to have the water hauled in or find a source and go pick it up, etc...
But you can get VERY cheap land and many acres for dirt cheap, b/c let's face it all you are paying for is DIRT! ;) Most people can't handle living this isolated and w/o basic utilities and water.
So, you're saying that a 100 foot well is going to cost a person $150,000 just for the drilling. Just for 100 feet. And his post alluded to a high water table. My parents live in Oklahoma and the water table under their property is 14 feet and a 100 foot hole would cost them about $1000. I can't imagine there is anywhere in the country where it would be 150 times that.
It CAN cost that much depending on how deep they need to drill for drinkable water, also the terrain. If you have to drill through ROCK it gets very expensive. I'd say more like 50K not 150K though, although, there is the rare horror stories, I have heard from people in Texas. I know of a few people in far west Texas that paid about 45K-65K for brine water; they had to drill extremely deep just for that. They still have to haul their water in to drink.
Also, my parents had a septic and water drilled on a beautiful piece of land in the Texas Hill Country. B/C the driller had to go through so much ROCK it actually broke his drilling equipment and they had to keep drilling deeper and deeper to find water...(SUPPOSEDLY, I might add) I think he was trying to inflate the price to make up for burning up super expensive equipment! I think that my parents ended up paying for his "new" equipment. ;)
Thanks Becky! We just bought a house in a small town and we turned our backyard into mini farm. This information was very helpful since we plan to live on this property for a few years, sell, and really get our dream homestead.
Thank you verry much for all of this info. Specifically the zoning part, ' agriculture/residential " very helpful part.
roy sandi funny
That you for helping people with the most important choice in life. Owning land facilitates everything positive
Thanks for the info Becky. We recently moved to Colorado in hopes of doing this very thing, and starting our own business, though we never thought to go 'owner financed'. We sold our previous house and have been living off that money, now we're out of money and still trying to get our company off the ground. Wish us luck. :)
Yes you need a good luck I wish you a great time
great channel you have here i have watched your videos since you bought your land and lived in your tent
and so on, i just never comment but i bought my chickens because of you. i love them so thank you for sharing.
Mamma T do you keep chickens in a coup? i heard coups create bugs
Mamma T J
Mamma T with no money??
You did a land contract with no money to the owner ?
OK, I was reading the comments. The title should have said Buy Land When you Don't have much money. Of course it's buying hence money is needed. Down payment, title fees, court fees, deed fees, insurance, money for the well, money for septic tank, money for electric hookup, money for a road to the property or at least a gravel truck or two. So there is money needed. The video shows you how to buy from a person without going through a bank and big mortgage. I have done this before and it works, but yea, you need close to $20,000 for all of the above and to make it ready to put a home on it then you need to build the home or put a trailer or tent.
I know right that's what I was saying. "Ugh hello, if I had any cash I would wave it at the bank and they'll take it".
Duhhhh
so the title is wrong, so what, knowing that "to buy" something you need money requires minimum neurons. Still the lady is providing a positive comment.
Joseph Jordan Banks won't accept cash as payment for a mortgage. At least not where I live. When Bank of America owned my mortgage I took the cash money in one month and tried to pay them with it. They said I could deposit the cash and then write them a check but they do not accept cash.But I get what you're saying.
Ahmad Ghosheh not for poor people. ii get it .
A well-thought-out reasonable response! Yes, it is a LOT more expensive than most think and there is no way around that. Even if you didn't account for the things mentioned here (which you definitely SHOULD) there is going to be fencing (and cross fencing) if you want animals, materials to build if there is no building and lots of red tape (and the corresponding fees) to build. If there is already a home on the land, and they are selling for cheap, it probably needs repairs.
Thanks Becky your videos are really helpful for a 24 year old who knew absolutely nothing about buying land before finding your channel !
I'm actually working on this. But it's been a pain looking up where there is land that's reasonably priced. Hopefully, with Becky's tips, I will get lucky soon. Wanting my own piece of land has always been my dream. :)
Thank you for your time and consideration in helping people like me...
The way to succeed in life is to have a plan. Be it a 2 year or a 10 year plan---a plan is the way to go. This lady had a plan and now she is a land owner. Gratz.
I did something similar but with a house. I took advantage of the market crash and bought in 2012. Paid 10k for a livable house in a nice neighborhood close to everything. Today's it's worth 150k but I been buying and selling ever since and my current home is worth nearly a half a million. Best thing I ever did. I used to struggle with rent and had 2 full time jobs now I enjoy my freedom and have no rent or mortgage my home is paid off. I planned it out myself saved 10k took me a year of working hard walking to work and not spending money even on food. Now all I pay is property tax and utilities planing on getting solar panels now. If I need extra money I just rent out a room or driveway. People all around me tried to talk me out of it and called me crazy even my own family. Thank God I did my own thing and trusted myself. Today everyone's asking me how I went from being a dish washer to owning a paid off mansion and living like I'm retired at under 40 so fast. Listen to this woman she's got the right idea. Don't fall into the corporate paycheck to paycheck hell trap that a large majority of Americans are stuck in. You can find cheap houses too in the city and suburbs. The country life is just not for me lmao this works for people who know how to think outside of the sheep heard.
I bought two acres several years ago and Paid it off by the month, then I sold my home in Orlando and used that money as a down payment to have another home built .. that was 12 years ago and now in two wonderful months I will be mortgage free from a 200,000 mortgage...YAY !! along the way (two years ago) I had to have a new well dug at a price of 4200.00 .. It was a shock as the well was pumping sand no water for 8 days ... I live in Florida But life is good ad I am proud of myself as I am a single woman raising two boys
hey. I want land in manatee county. any suggestions?
Theres alot more to it than this. You have to look at the all the costs involved in getting water, power and septic, as well as the costs to build legally according to city or county building codes. I went through the whole process of extensive research when investigating 4 acres in San Bernardino cty CA selling for only 3k. Spoke to everyone in every imaginable dept. Nobody told me what II came to find out after much research is that building costs alone with all the city building requirements would bring costs for a new build to double what it would cost to buy an existing house.
Then electric would cost so much to connect it was insane. Wells costed around 20k because the ground is very hard. And to put a final nail in the coffin the county was no longer issuing permits for new builds unless they either had a well or city water - no trucked tank water allowed, though many houses in the area were grandfathered in with water tanks. The property was 1 mile from a water main at the cost of $55 a foot to extend the main would costs hundreds of thousands. 700 ft from an electric pole with transformer meant at least 14 poles would be required at possibly 18 grand per pole.
Many more costs could not even be closely estimated until you're actually in over your head. I realized why there is no new construction in the area. Only selling were fixer uppers and existing houses. I finally was admitted to by the realtor that land parcels aren't selling. So actually there is much more research involved if you want to avoid being stuch with paying for useless land and also paying taxes every year for nothing. Buyers beware, do your due diligence. Dont get too excited thinking you scored an amazing deal only to get roped into a money pit.
Madhava Nanda great info. Thanks!
just what I was gonna say- suburban AND CALIFORNIA- naturally there's a lot of red tape to navigate- CA land is very valuable and the codes are there to reflect that popularity.
CA is a whole different animal than ANY other state. CA is the worst. Red tape hell, and huge costs. Places with limited building and zoning codes don't have the same problems as CA.
You are talking about rural California. No wonder. This is ENTIRELY possible in the midwest or many of the southern states.
Madhava Nanda thats crazy 😱 thanks for the info man 👍🏽
Becky seems like an awesome person. There’s so much ill content out there to find stuff like this is a treasure.
We did something very similar to what you suggested and are on our way to owning our land. while living an off grid life!!
The first one we owned! LOL
+Ozark Off Grid Family While others are making excuses and complaining about the title being misleading, you are actually doing something about it and becoming self-sufficient.
Richard parker well Richard I use the library where the Internet is fast and free! Haha
I love your spirit, Becky. Thanks for this simplified process explanation. 🙏
This was really great!!! Amazing info! 🙏🏽. However, I would change the title to no bank instead of no money. Because it seems like you still need $ to buy.
She seems so nice, like a lady you'd trust to watch your house while you're on vacation👍🙂
This video should be called how to get land "without a credit check"? Also, Never never never buy land without getting a perc test first. A lot of sellers/agents will try to do everything they can NOT to have it done and squirrel their way out of getting a septic perc test.
nice video thanks very much Becky.. would like to add.... stay away from rent to own deals where the owner may ride in and say you are not maintaining some aspect, and kick you off the land keeping the deposits and improvements. Renting is ok.. .but renting and improving as if you already had title and the other guy still has a say.. is very dangerous for everyone.
Rent-to-own is a huge, borderline-criminal racket.
not always...
Jim Burns, Jr. There's really no such thing as "rent to own." That's just a mortgage. If the owner ever comes to try and boot you off, that's when you go talk with a lawyer.
i magin you wont have time to convince the many people who signed private contracts for private rent to own agreements and got booted off the land after a time of paying and improving because the owner stipulated in the contract some little detail of maintenance would warrant termination of the contract.
Maybe it isnt as much of a problem these days.. i hope not.. can be abused from any angle as any contract is apt to be.
very glad you have had good success... n thank you for the inspiring video.
Jim Burns, Jr. It's never a problem, unless you let yourself be screwed from ignorance. All rent to own land contracts are mortgages, and require foreclosure. Moreover, almost every state has a redemption period by law, so if it really is a technicality, it should't be a problem to fix.
Thanks for the video, but I still can't figure out how a poor person can buy property and build a house without any money or credit. It's like teaching someone to cook a huge thanksgiving meal without having any food.
I watched this beginning of 2020, now I own a large farm in a very expensive South Africa that even my grand kids will benefit from. Thank you so much 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
"Owner carry" is a dangerous way to purchase property. You don't hold the deed, so if the owner decides to take it back at any time, they can. You have no recourse.
Also, if the owner loses the property through bankruptcy......again, you have no recourse. It's not your property unless you hold the deed.
Hello, how do you go about this? Would you need to go through the bank for a deed or is there an option for paying an owner and getting it? Sounds like no but I thought I would ask since I actually dont know how this stuff works
I know a guy that went with owner financing. He made on time payments for 10yrs or more and then the guy was buying from got foreclosed from his bank. The guy paying the real owner didn't even know the property was in foreclosure till the filing and 6 months of payments due to the bank. Get you a lawyer if you want to go this way and protect yourself.
Ms. Becky, thank you very much! When you mentioned you had two little kids when you started it made me happy. I have a little girl and the thought of taking this on has been a bit intimidating. Great information thanks! I don't know why it's tagged for poor people, this is for wise people starting out!
Thank you for posting. Experience is the best teacher. God bless from California.
She is so right. I bought a beautiful historic home with owner finance for super cheap. 5 year payment plan and it'll be all mine. Best decision I ever made.
How are you doing today my name is Eric Moore and how is the weather over there
Where was the part about buying with NO money?
+Mark Julius exactly my thoughts, I love becky and her videos but this title is misleading.
+eddieisfiction then it should've said "no credit" not "no money" are you people thick?
+eddieisfiction ahhhhh NO the title is misleading and 2 who looks up "one way poor people can buy land with no money"
This was a suggested video and I watched it. While it's helpful it's not really for poor people which kinda starts the misleading. What kind of idiot arrogantly thinks other people have no business with here without knowing the individual personally, Yourself? What kinda sad individual goes on TH-cam to belittle people rather than to help out a little? Yourself?
+Mark Julius If its to good to be true then is probably is.
thats what i was wondering she mentioned doing a lot of things but most of them cost money besides the cost of the land so its not homesteading in my opinion its maybe farming but thats iffy too with that small of a property

I did something similar 30 years ago. I looked for months and found a house built in 1910 and had little to no improvements since. It included an acre of land, a barn and great chicken house large enough for a business selling organic eggs as it was set up with 20 laying boxes and large area for the hens to have freedom and safety from predators. My hens layed 3 eggs per hen per day, minimum. I also had horses, goats, ducks, geese and african pea fowl. I planned to add sheep and possibly a milk cow. Since it was not completely up to code the owners could not sell it conventionally but by an owner contract. The price was $29,000 and we lived in the sticks a few hundred feet from the upper (clean, clear rapids) Tualatin. I was diagnosed with a disabling condition which causes chronic pain - thus, I could no longer work and had to sell my dream farm - those were the happiest days of my and my children's lives. I still want to try to find another small fixer-upper for a bargain again now that my pain is under control through a pain management clinic. Almost 20yrs on opioids with no incident and I'm able to function on a limited basis. Better than being bed-ridden. So, folks, it's still do-able for a poor person to buy a home!
Nina Lee what State do you live?
Wishing you all the luck to find that new farm and be able to live again. By God's Grace, I found mine.
Hens can only lay 1 egg every 23 hours i work on a chicken farm. I have never heard of a hen laying 3 eggs a day.
@@billypierce1245 black rock hens.

Have you tried the CBD oil and have you looked at the videos and read the comments of all the people who are being healed of so many ailments and people are even using it for epilepsy and even using it for epilepsy and their cats and dogs.
My neighbor was hit by a car and could not sleep because of all the pain she was in... she got the CBD oil and she said she finally can sleep at night
Becky, great advice! I've never been much of a farmer or "homesteader" but I would love to stop wasting $800 every month on paying rent. I would love to be able to buy a tiny acre in the woods somewhere and buy an old camping trailer to live in or even build one of those tiny houses that seem to becoming very popular. I'm not fancy, I don't need much. Think it's doable?
Spectt I’m In. The process now so doable
be careful of land sellers that want 200 dollars to start paper work and instead of land deed they email you a 50 page rental agreement with the claus that they can evict you for any reason, when they know you plan to build a small house on it. more than likely everything will be kosher until the house is built then they will kick you off the property, keep your house then sell it to someone else for more.
Wow!! Tfs... yessss, be wise!
It's crazy how people actually do things like that
Exactly, there are some honest people out there. But for every 1 honest man there are 3 more dishonest people beside them. People will cut you down and burn you to further their own gain.

Did I miss something here? The title says "One Way Poor People Can Buy Land With No Money" no way are buy "KEY WORD BUY" anything with no money... you have a few nice tips but they all cost money....
+Don Williams My thoughts precisely. And as a retired senior, living on SS, there IS no tax refund to use as down payment.
+Kristy Moore Seriously Kristy? Everybody I know files a tax RETURN to get back money they overpaid on their taxes. Some even get money they didn't overpay in the form of the "Earned Income tax Credit" and end up with a couple of thousand dollars in their pocket to "spend" anyway they want. Obviously you have just enough taxes taken out of your income that you neither have to pay in or get back money. Good for you! If you're just being technical and don't understand what she means, then that's your problem to deal with.
+Kristy Moore use your refund for down payment
+Kristy Moore Please don't nitpick, obviously she meant to say tax REFUND (not return) Jeeezz
+DirtyHarry G Dude, no everyone does not get money back. I prepare tax returns for lots of people, and there are many poor and broke people that owe additional tax upon filing their returns. Return is the paperwork you file with the IRS. Refund is an overpayment of tax, either because of excessive withholding or refundable credits. EIC is not a guarantee of a refund. I have personally completed returns for individuals who qualified for EIC but did not receive refunds due to SET. In addition, this woman keeps saying "no money". Last time I checked, IRS refunds were issued in American dollars, not moldy bananas.
The information you provided is a great way to steer someone in the right direction of getting started. Thank You
