What a great tool when you are looking for rural properties. This must save so much driving because you can see unwanted features and not have to physically go there. Thanks for sharing Nate. This will be a very valuable tool for people looking for places to homestead. Have a Blessed evening.
WOW, invaluable information for me looking from across the country at rural properties in TN !!!!! Thanks you and Katie so much for sharing your tools and sources!
Very useful info. I would add that not all counties have GIS and they are ALL different both in software and info they share. So some of the GIS info you shared only applies to your example. At least in my experience. Couple other tips is to look at a properties tax info to see if the tax payments have been maintained. You don't want to buy a property and find out the taxes had not be payed for multiple years and as the new owner you are now responsible for. Also look at the properties around the one you are looking at. Are they owned by ONE individual, corporations, developers, the state, or a lot of different individuals. Thanks Nate and Katie.
Thanks for this very useful information! I've started my seventh year of paying off my mortgage in my first ownership and am pretty happy with it but I wish I had known about this when I was first looking. Now I'll be able to look at my own property a little bit better...
Hey, great class ! I appreciate this - you should do this and connect it to the HuntStand or other programs you use when you walk the grounds as well. Good stuff! Appreciate you!
As a remote sensing professional I have to say nothing is better than going somewhere in person. Especially if you are going to live there forever. So much information is not in any geodatabase
That's not a creek. It's simply a roadside drainage ditch. It just gives rainwater a place to quickly drain off a road and is often found in rural areas. My aunt and uncle still have a drainage ditch that runs along their street. They have a large metal culvert that connects the drainage ditch from one side of the driveway to the other in order for the rain water to continue to flow. In the winter when their driveway would be slick, it's not fun if your car slides off the culvert into the ditch. When my Dad built our house back in 1948 we had a drainage ditch and culvert. Around 1960, our town dug up that drainage ditch and installed city sewers along with curbs to our street. We had to walk across a 2x12 plank to get to the street for the school bus every day for a while. Nobody would ever consider a drainage ditch to be a creek.
Nate… I’m not sure if you were aware, but I keep a close eye on your every movement on Google Earth. It’s not at all stalkerish… I’m just making sure you are staying safe. 😂🤣 BTW - I just saw Kinsley is stuck on the other side of the fence again. 😜
Not too long, this type of stuff comes naturally to me. Google Maps is easiest to use, but GIS gives you the most info. Google Earth is fun to use, but not needed unless you need to see the terrain of the property.
Maybe not every state, but most of them. You'll need to find the GIS service for the specific county in OHIO. For example, Clark County Ohio is gis.clarkcountyauditor.org/

Absolutely! We learned this after many wasted trips to properties that were not what we thought when we drove 2 hours each way to look at them.

Our pleasure! Yes, this will save a lot of wasted road trips looking at properties that really fall outside of what you want.

Yes, very valid and great points and suggested uses of GIS you make, glen74. Thank you.
Great tutorial on GIS and Google Earth! Just what I needed, and it is a concise and easy to follow video!

Glad it can be useful for you and congrats on paying down your mortgage.
Very kind of you guys to do these last two videos !
We hope that it is helpful in other folks searches and can share what we have learned and what we found helpful.
Thanks Nate! Saving this for future. These tips are invaluable and I've been wondering what free programs were out there. Big hugs to the Kramers!
Great to hear!

Great suggestion!
Such great information! We’re beginning to look at NC mountain property. Funny… we love the Bat Cave area. Thanks
Glad it was helpful!
I have sent these videos to a friend who is planning on finding a homestead. Thanks 👍
Awesome! Thank you!
Another great video packed with useful information. I paused mid video and looked up my property just to explore the GIS features.
Glad it was helpful! It is a great tool for sure!
Loved Katie’s video on how to find properties and your video too, Nate. So helpful to share your knowledge and experience.
Glad you enjoyed it! Hopefully it will be useful for folks in their search.
That is an awesome tool for getting valuable information on new and current properties. Thanks for sharing.
You bet!
Thank You for teaching me an easier way to search for our forever acreage in Tennessee. Alicia 💡🔦🙂

Sir, that is just creepy.
@@TheKraemerLife No, no… not creepy at all. Not even a little Nate. 😂🤣
@@CelticRootsFarm I think its funny you think Nate would recognise creepy...clearly you need to watch more closely..I mean, lol...j/k #joking
May I ask what site r u using 2 get this gis
Do you have anything for if you only know the PIN?
👍🏻❤️🙏🏻
How long did it take you to learn that? Which would be easiest? I wasn't raised in the computer age.
Not too long, this type of stuff comes naturally to me. Google Maps is easiest to use, but GIS gives you the most info. Google Earth is fun to use, but not needed unless you need to see the terrain of the property.

Thanks!
Does gis work in every state? I was trying to bring up Ohio
Maybe not every state, but most of them. You'll need to find the GIS service for the specific county in OHIO. For example, Clark County Ohio is gis.clarkcountyauditor.org/
👍👍❤
Thanks
