Ive got 18.5 acres in middle of nowhere Iowa, surrounded by corn fields for miles. Probably not everyones cup of tea, but its quiet and peaceful. Can leave my project cars and parts vehicles sitting around without it being an "eyesore" to uppity HOA neighbors, can shoot my guns and bomb around on dirt bikes without anyone complaining or cops showing up. Was $164,000 in '08. 1350 sq ft 3 bedroom 1.5 bath house with a finished basement, attatched 2 car garage, a second detached 2 car garage, 6 different outbuildings/barns/sheds. Was a working farm at one time, they sold off the crop fields to neighboring farms and bought the rest of it. According to the county auditor its worth $330,000ish now, still not to shabby considering that would buy you a cardboard box in a alley in someplace like california...😂

In the Winter, 2 years ago the REAL temp at his place was -37 degrees F.. without the wind-chill... The fall comes fast, the spring slow..

I was going to make them get a search warrant, just because I was just going down the road, speed limit, listening to music minding my own business.. It was a local cop.. They held me until a State cop could get there as back up.. State cop told me the only reason they want to check my trailer is for people being smuggled from Canada into the US.. .. WHAT.. I DID not know that was a thing.. I opened up the trailer and I was on my way... is all the local cop would have had to say was just that instead of being a hard ass... But, what ever.. Seriously on the human smuggling up along that border.. Has something to do with the Indian reservations, and all that.. Don't know, I didn't ask a lot of questions..

Hey! What's wrong with Kentucky? We're near Owen County and it's peaceful here. I have a beautiful view of the stars every night and we see deer and turkey frequently. The downside is we're landlocked because I love the ocean but that also means we're spared seasonal hurricanes that afflict the coastline. We have 4 seasons with the advantage of an earlier spring compared to states further north, and our winter isn't as severe as states further north, so win/win. The other downside is driving distance for fun things to do or to go to the Mall but maybe that's normal when you're in a rural area. It also takes an hour and a half to get to a lake to swim and fish that has a picnic area and indoor bathrooms and trails so we opted for a backyard pool. The downside there is the kids are getting older and learning to drive and starting college and want to be off with friends and much less time at home. Sigh. Really should have done what my parents did with us and just put a sprinkler on the hose and made the kids run through it.

Tennesee is where you want maybe, but those states are anywhere as affordable anymore, ESPECIALLY Montana, idk how a state with so small a population can be that expensive. has to be more than JUST people moving from California.

Yes, close to where I live you can buy 68 acres of mountainside (Berkeley County area) for 400k.. I think that works out to 5k an acre.. And if you go out to the Fort Ashby area, it is even much cheaper..

Yes, we can get land cheap here in certain areas of New York State. However, the taxes are awful. The minute you build something, get ready for a decent increase. If you build within the lines of Adirondack Park, prepare to be bogged down with a long approval process.

are there links or anything to where we can obtain them?

I'm curious what data sources you use for helping you to find the cheap land/houses/etc? I can find some information if I'm looking in a specific area, but finding it say accross a state or accross the US I'm not sure how that's done.

My dad grew up in Hollis in Harmon County. OK. I was there. I had a lot of fun on his grandmother's farm. He grew up poor, but he didn't go hungry.

Can you do a video on cheapest places to buy, own and moor a houseboat?

I live in Jersey! The land here is ridiculously expensive, like $100k-$200k, for a lot that’s probably a half acre or less! 2 years ago, my wife and I bought a half acre in South Carolina for $2k. We built our house and plan on moving in 2 years! Today the same size lot, in SC is north of $25k-30k😳

Great video ! I really want to buy land in oregon somewhere far from Portland lol

I heard you state two times that Arkansas had a lot of problems. To be clear, I like your videos but to make statements like above, not just once but twice, without stating facts to support the disparaging remarks, is less than genuine. I am not from Arkansas but lived there 15 years and it’certainly has it all over states like Oregon & New York, that you commented on.

Every state has it's problems. There's 's no need to state them unless that's the topic of the video.

We got a 3 bdrm craftsman on a fenced and gated acre with a barn & greenhouse on the northshore across from New Orleans for only $35K in early 2018. Crime is practically nonexistant where we are and the schools are amazing. Sometimes ya just get lucky

Knot IT!!! Awesome 👍🏽

Fun fact: Lake County has less than 9,000 people across 8,353 square miles. Lakeview is a cute town, just over 2,000 people.

North Central WA, lots of 20 acre parcels for under $30K. These parcels have trees and amazing views of the snow-capped Cascade mountains.. Down the road from me is a 6,000 acre development of 20 acre parcels with under ground power to every parcel. All private roads with roads plowed in the winter and graded/repaired in the summer. HOA fees are $200 a year. 20 acre parcels range from $28K to 60K. I lived there in a 3,600sqft log home for 15 years and loved it. Five years ago I purchased 40 acres up the hill. It has a pond, old growth timber forest, a 48X36 new steel stop with concrete slab floor and a 250' well with pump. I paid $105,000 for it.

I am surprised Minnesota and Wisconsin are not on the list.

Raw farm land is much cheaper than this video says. When you average the entire state, you are not comparing apples to apples. If the plan is to homestead and do some hobby farming, the most important consideration should be average annual rainfall. Rain is kind of important when farming.

I bought 2.5 acres in Bonanza OR for $12k in Klamath Falls Estates. Undeveloped and some lots have electric but mine didn't. So thats about $4,800 an acre.

Surprised Kentucky was not on this list or Louisiana

I bought 33.5 acres of wooded land in TN. for $600 an acre in 2006 ! Taxes today are only $58 a year total !

Thumbs up for effort. These are all realtor prices. Realtor and vacant land go together like booze and Corvettes. Move the decimal point and I still won't buy. The magic only happens when you get realtors and similar out of the picture. A non-realtor price is a ranch price.

Let me also add Handcock Country, Mississippi. I bought a vacant lot for $1200....the catch is you have to bulld a house at "19' BFE" or in better words on stilts 19 feet off the ground 😂 but you can camp on it...😊

I think we drove through that Apache county. It was bleak, impoverished, desert with a sandstorm hitting us as we drove through.

Growth ruins dreams because growth only benefits developers, so I chose an area with very slow growth and zoned agricultural. My taxes are low, traffic is light and I have few neighbors. That let me retire affordably and I am loving it!

Iake County in Oregon land wondering if there any restrictions of zone what can people build on the land? >>>>> 3:08

Thanks for the video If you want to move out from the cities you can get property a whole lot cheaper than what you are quoting I would recommend buying property outside of the city where there are no building permits required, etc. The further you move out the cheaper it is Without building permits required you can do whatever you want 😂😂

I seem to have missed a mention of the cost per acre or acreage sizes for the prices you do mention.

I'm right now looking to buy some land in both Florida and Michigan. In Michigan which I'm more familiar with it seems to be between $10,000 and $30,000 per acre. I'm hoping to get something on a lake. I'm not as familiar with Florida. Looking between Orlando and Kennedy Space Center.

One should keep in mind that things are usually only cheep when the people with money don't want them, because there are too hot , too cold. not enough water.
