My wife and I have been living on our rural dream property for the last 40 years. We were quite land poor for many of those years, but it's all good financially now. Some of our kids are even thinking of building on us, which we've always hoped for. Kapper, I hope and pray that this deal works out well enough that your debts become unimportant or gone altogether.
Most excellent for you and your family! We're very OK with being land poor but living the dream every single day! I sure wouldn't mind if one of the kids wanted to come down and build! But as you said, and based on looking at other states like TN, if this continues we will be sitting pretty good in a few years down the road. So we are looking at the big chess board of life:) Thank you and best wishes to you and your family!!
You're got to spend money to make money. And you have to take some risks to really make big things happen in life. This land could be worth double in 5 years, you just never know. TN land is now crazy, all because they are another free state. Thank you!
Holy cow, that’s awesome news. I’m really looking forward to watching you develop the land and turn it for a nice profit. The owner set you up very nicely. Congrats.
Thank you. Yes we were not expecting that twist at all!! We were just trying to add maybe another 20 or 30 acres but then boom! To me it was a no brainer for private financing!
Good job on getting all the land. It is great the seller offered that to you. Many land deals go like this. I'm at 380 in Arkansaw. Payed cash, then took a loan. Then, I took a second loan. Then, I took a 3rd loan. I'm paying it off as fast as I can. I'm hoping to buy more in the near future. People think I'm crazy. I don't think they know the feeling of standing on your own property.
Dang man you are right! People who have never owned acreage do not understand the draw. It is life changing. The freedom to ride horses, grow cattle, have chickens, deer hunt, ride atv's, private hiking and so much more is very addictive and enjoyable. Hey, unless you are born rich America is a debt based society and you are willing to make it work for YOU then you can get ahead through a lot of grit and dedication. Thanks and best of luck to you!
That's great to hear. I live a few miles south of your new place. I would like to meet you guys one day and talk to you about suggestions on food plots and pond building.
What a great outcome! 4% owner financed is a great deal! I would have taken it myself for sure. I wish we were able to find something like that but smaller, under 100 acres. Congrats! Looking forward to see your progress!
Thank you! Yeah that was an offer that we were not expecting!! We were just trying to maybe buy another 30 ish acres or so, but I think he really wanted it all gone at once. Seemed like a no brainer to me!!
5.28 K Tuesday May 28! Way to go Kapper. With the dollar crashing better to have in land, silver or gold. Kenny Rogers wrote the GAMBLER with folks like you in mind. ❤. Congratulations
Booyah! Love that tune!! Yes land has done much better for us than the market because I've lived through multiple crashes and don't want to get burned again! At least with land you can use it, you can lease it, rent it, log it, grow animals, have fun on it and sell some of it if you need to! Thanks bud
Thank you! Yeah we've love to keep the whole thing! But we are realists too. But we will look at possible income streams to try to keep as much as possible! Cheers!
Thank you and man, I am with you on that. I would much rather keep the whole thing intact! But we are also realists and sometimes to get what we want, which is no easy task, we have to do some selling. But we will look into potential income streams to try to keep as much as possible together. Thanks
Thanks man, we greatly appreciate it!! Should be an amazing adventue with lots of high's and lows at times! Let's hope we can make more of the 'highs' than the lows! lol Thanks and take care
That is some huge news! That had to be a hell of a buggy ride thinking about that decision. We’re along for the ride. I’ll buy some pies or “bone broth” if you need a bake sale to help fund this 😮
Wow Joe, the stars have definitely aligned for you this time 😮. Wishing you and Sharon the very best for the future, I will certainly be watching your channel with anticipation to enjoy your journey forwards.
That's friggin awesome Kap. I would buy what your selling in a heartbeat, but we can't get out of Illinois because of our business and Grandkids. So I guess I'm stuck with the Vienna Farm for recreational/hunting for now.
Thank man, I do feel this one was pretty divine!! Well you can alway buy a chunk for a MO hunting camp!! Best of luck on the West side brother! Take care
I'd love to buy a lot off of it, but I'm not able to for now. Don't have the money and I live on the east coast. I love the look of the Ozarks though, all those cedar trees! And cool fossil rich creek beds. Caves, etc. I had something amazing happen to me in Columbia in 1992 after visiting Rock Bridge state park. MO and I are a part of each other.
@@jphickory522 something spiritual involving a dream and coyotes. It's a long story. I had already had my experience with red cedars in a dream. Native american type stuff. I'll say that when I was there, it felt like a sacred place, like the Indians that were there way back used it as a spiritual site ( maybe due to the Devil's Icebox?). Dreams are very important in native spirituality. And no I'm not part Indian, DNA test showed no marker. But then it got the % wrong on the Norwegian part, so... My mom had it done. The Indian was supposed to be through her line. There is a glitch in the matrix story here too LOL, another long story. And no, I am not a loony toony LOL.
Congrats Kap! You’ve come a long ways since I worked with you on improving that piece down at Bay City and I remember when you bought that Simpson property and lived in that trailer before building your home Congrats bud, I wish you the best
My thoughts exactly "Go big or go home". Of course it can quickly turn into "Go too big, and lose your home". It does sound like you got a great deal on the additional acreage though, with some good upside even if you turn around tomorrow and tried to sell them w the electric infrastructure that exists now. Like you, i'm already tapped out on Missouri/Ozark land - bought mine 4-6 yrs ago in SW MO/NW AR, sold 1 of 3 that easily paid off the second lot and will allow me to be mortgage free on a small cabin being built on the 3rd. From the realtor i deal with that specializes in rural properties in MO, he says it is getting much harder to find larger tracks to buy but fewer qualified buyers are out there and those that wanted and had the means to buy , already have done so. Fewer folks want to get into cattle business that require the larger tracts, so he predicts the market will stabilize over the next few years
All very good info and yes very similar to our experiences. WE've lived through this whole thing when we lived in WI and watched the exact thing happen. Land prices skyrocket and it keeps getting cut smaller. While I hate to see it happen, we try to own as much as we possibly can. MO will keep growing as it is a very free state so land will likely continue its upward trend, even with a pullback at some point. Land is better than investing in gold, historically speaking. Best of luck sounds like you've done well so far!
@@KapperOutdoors2.0 As I've warned before, MO being a "free state" is all relative. Relative to HellInnois, yes. But watch out - MO is probably not as free as you think. The State political scene is not good (as it should be vis a vis representative of the political slant of the citizen). We are a "red" supermajority but have some awful RINO's in Jefferson City (and some real good ones). We are heading in the wrong direction - one step forward, two steps back. ALOT of out of state money coming in trying to make it , w current trend, another liberal hell hole. Watch out and get involved at the local/state level and don't assume an (R) next to a politician name means they align with our beliefs. Personally I like both Gold and Real Estate. They are not always correlated, which is good. Both hard assets.
Man, I don't think you can ever go wrong buying land! Even with debt! We waited too long and regretted it! But since we started pulling the trigger we have done OK for sure! Best of luck thanks!
We'll see how things go the next year or two. I still want her to retire as soon as possible. But freedom is paramount. These states that are breaking all of the rules and cancelling our freedoms are totally out of control
I've been following your journey for a while don't comment much hope the best for you and yours. For you and everyone else who is purchasing now I hope the rates go down in the near future. My wife is a closing agent although slower than before people are still buying.
Thank you! You too! We did not plan on making this major move but felt it was prudent for the future! Can't wait to get to our next freedom ranch!! Hope to catch you again!
Boom! You said it right! I'd rather be land poor, in a free state, but have my freedom every single day to do as I please with the land under our feet! Thanks man appreciate it
Man I sure hope so! We are looking for just a few folks that will appreciate the land for what it offers. We'd love to just keep it all but at this moment that likely won't be an option. For the right people it can really be something special. Thanks
Man, that’s a sad viewpoint to have on your fellow man. Most of my neighbors, over the years, have been good people that brought even more enjoyment to owning land.
Well if I could find a way to keep it all I sure would. We will be looking at options but I think we'll need to part with some of it. But time will tell.
Well He does have a point. We have had some neighbors over the years that have literally pushed us out of our land. Especially the smaller parcels. But I do agree man if you get some good people for neighbors with land life is all the better! Thanks
Hope the stars continue to line up and shine on you. Don't forget the divine. Would I like to be your neighbor yes, will the wife let me move out there no.
Yes this has been an amazing shift working out this whole deal. And I turned it over to HIM for clear signs, one way or the other. We were ready to walk away, but the tide changed and it was pretty amazing. Amen!!
Did you make a typo? Did you mean OWNING this kind of money? I am not suggesting living beyond your means but they did not invest in depreciating assets.
It's all in your perspective. If there's one thing we've learned its that land has seldom ever let us down. So what would you say in 5 years if that 2 mil $ land was worth 4million? Would your perspective change? We sold our IL land for close to double what we paid for it. So we are actually buying land in a free state for less per acre than we sold our IL land. We just look at land as a very unique and precious life investment. Thanks
Yep, land is the 'real deal' in my opinion and from our life experience. Even during the 2 real estate market crashes that we've lived through land has held up much better than housing and has come back faster. We did very well on our IL land sale to put towards this one. Thanks for understanding. Take care
I thought I knew how to "rearrange assets" but YOU have me beat by a hundred thousand light years!! That is unless you actually WON the mega millions some time ago and have been keeping that a huge secret also?? Selling parcels to pay for what you keep does work...but I still think you'll have to come up with something to bring a decent INCOME STREAM off all the land you retain. Any workable ideas??
We will be looking into different income streams for sure. WE have done very well with deer hunting so I might try to go full on leaser/outfitter. We'll also look at cattle maybe too. But we are open to more ideas!! It would be fantastic to be able to keep almost all of it!! And NO we did not win the lottery! lol
There is really never a 'good' time. But you do what you have to do if you really want to achieve your dreams in life. And we simply love the land and having the freedom it brings under your boots every single day. It is a mindset. And actually when you can borrow at half the going rate.. It really is a good debt to take on.
Cash is King! “The borrower is slave to the lender! Dirty green paper is what you borrowed to live the your dream! I wish you well, but I would rather be debt free and live in a blue state than be in debt and live in a red state!
I understand your comment. But I took a loan to buy a few hundred acres. I don't plan to sell, but land is selling at 1500- 2000 an acre more than I paid. Now, I am working to pay loan in the next few years
Thanks but I disagree! I'd rather be in life debt, but in a free state with lots of land!! Life is so short and these comm ies are not going to get any better! Heck, in the crazy states they are now shutting down farms if they find any chems in the ground! So you land becomes useless just because they say so!! I'd rather be free!
Well freedom will have that effect! Especially with how crazy some of these states are getting with anti freedom, anti capitalism, and over taxation to say the least.
@@KapperOutdoors2.0 I was in the military and when I got out went into reserves with some navy seals our rear admiral asked if we have civil war or WW3. You’ll be shocked what the answer was around the table. That was in 2013
Well when you say 'develop' most people think subdivisions with lots of homes and small lots. Property like this would like be 40 acre lots, up to 100 acres, and maybe just one or two 10-15 acre pieces. If we can find a financial way to keep it all we sure will

Sell to the right buyer. No motocross tracks, junkyard dogs, meth-heads, etc. Now, you’re in charge. Wildlife enthusiasts only, good land people.
