There are other ways to get loans for land OR seller finance. Farm Credit is what worked for me! And no, this is not sponsored by them. I just think the average American is missing out not knowing about the Farm Credit System.
I came across your channel through this video- case studies are incredibly valuable, and I'm eager to see more in the future! Building wealth involves establishing routines, like consistently setting aside funds at regular intervals for smart investments.
You're correct. I think the smartest way to go is to spread out your investments. By putting your money into different asset classes like bonds, real estate, and stocks from other countries, you can lower the risk if one part of the market goes bad.
That sounds like a good plan. In the past two years, working closely with a financial market specialist, I've builta six-figure diversified stock portfolio. Now, I aim to diversify even more this year.
Talking about a financial market specialist, do you consider anyone worthy of recommendations? I have about 10Ok to test the waters now that large cap stocks are at a discount
From $10K to $25k that's the minimum range of profit return every week I think it's not a bad one for me, now I have enough to pay bills and take care of my family
Alexandra--Let me say this--you are, in your own way, somewhat of a remarkable person. I have had a 40 year career in finance including a senior loan officer with AG choice which is now Horizon Farm Credit. But my background also includes investment banking and corporate finance for a publicly traded company, and I was a CFO for a defense contractor. The way you pack so much valuable information into a few minutes is something that senior executives should take note.
I hate saying this, because you might take it like Im a creepy dude, I just wish to compliment you for all you've managed to find out on your own, you've basically educated yourself on buying property & building a place & starting a business - which is very impressive for anyone to accomplish - plus you are attractive in a cool way.
When you say it like that, it comes off creepy. Try this next time. “Hey! your beautiful, and thank you for the great advice!” Done. short and simple and not creepy…
@@AlexandraFasuloBiz very much a Proverbs 31 woman. I’m 65. When I was your age, I lost my job when Continental Illinois NB went bankrupt and we lost our funding. I came back to California and vowed to learn something about banks. I don’t like cities (I went to USC and UC Davis) and didn’t want to work for a bank in SF or LA. I went to a farming friend and asked where farmers borrow money. He told me PCA (Production Credit Association ) and Federal Land Bank. They became Farm Credit. I went to the local branch in Indio, CA and asked about a job. They told me that I had to apply to the training program in Sacramento. To my surprise, I got an interview. The first question they asked me was about my farming experience. I told them that I had business experience and that they would just have to teach me about one more commodity than everyone else that had experience. I got in the program and it was an amazing year of training all over California. I spent the entire year on the road learning about everything from livestock to fishing to row crops to tree fruit. There are a few things to know about Farm Credit: while it started as the Federal Land Bank, it isn’t Federal at all. The district Farm Credit Banks get their money directly by pooling all their funding needs to their New York department that sells bonds direct to investors. Because it is perceived as Federal, these bonds are often priced cheaper than other money you might get. While it may no longer be true, you used to by stock in Farm Credit with some of your loan proceeds which effectively made the interest rate a little higher, it did give borrowers more say in the business: all borrowers are actually owners and this is why you may have found Farm Credit so refreshing. All your fellow borrowers want to see you succeed. Failures hurt everyone in the system. My wife and I, as we get ready to retire, have done what you suggest. We bought 4 acres in rural AZ at 4500 feet. We hope to grow as much as we can on it and like you we should start a roadside stand. So far we have put in a well, a pump, and sufficient solar to run it all. We should look into the grants you talked about. My sons are in their 20’s (CPA and Electrical engineer) and I have to wonder how they would ever meet someone like you. Praying for God’s help.
I'm so happy I made productive decisions about my finances that changed my life forever. I'm in my twenties living in Melbourne Australia, bought my new mansion in August and hoping to do more if things keep going smoothly for me..
Congratulations dear. You're really doing well for yourself, I'm 28 and my financial life is in a mess. Any great tips would really go a long way in shaping my life. I want to buy my own mansion, that's really a big flex
Tracy Britt Cool Consulting my financial advisor got me into investmnt. Two yrs down the line, my managed portfolio with Tracy generates about 5k a month on average. Not real big, but enough for me to get by
My sister recently purchased 20 acres in upstate NY with Farm credit east too. From everything shes told me, they are an incredible lender. Awesome resource for people looking to farm in the North East.
It's amazing to see someone get through the unknown, trouble, and frustration to accomplish big things. Explain where the 30% down came from and how a 10 year loan is feasible? New to the videos and I seem to be missing where any prior money came from. It takes money to make money.
Thats really cool. Your doing really good work. Hopefully Americans wake up and take their land back from corporations and that gates guy. Quick big up, its refreshing to see a female on utube that doesn't have a gallon of make up on their face, i am regularly fighting my daughters about putting chemicals on their faces You are someone i would have my daughters look up to
This is so cool! I stumbled on your channel by accident and I am totally impressed! You are quite the entrepreneur and an inspiration . I live on rural land and I am currently working on plans for gardening, be more self sufficient with power, and God willing , break free from the daily grind by this coming spring. You have a new subscriber and I look forward to watching more videos. I wish you well with your new adventure!
There are some additional benefits to being part of farm credit. I can't speak for all states, but in South Carolina if the interest rates decrease they will do a simple interest rate adjustment document and your mortgage rate is then modified to the new lower rate. Its very simple and easy, and its not refinancing - its simply a rate adjustment. Also after you have been a member for a few years you will start receiving rebates based on the profitability of your farm credit system. This is based on their profitable and how much you paid during the year on your loan. In my case this averaged out to be about the same as one monthly payment each year. You're actually sharing in the profits by receiving a share of the profits. Farm Credit is a great asset to rural land owners!
Thanks so much for the information you provided! I wasn't aware of the Farm Credit system and it might be very helpful toward achieving my goals on my 10 acres of mixed wooded and ag property. I'm looking at finding financing for a permanent house and ag tools (e.g., tractor) and this resource sounds like a viable option.
I want to homestead, not because I am extremely passionate about it inherently, but because the way I see our country going, it's going to be one of the only ways to live a free life (assuming those in charge don't make laws to intentionally ruin homesteading too). I don't have any farming experience, but I'm willing to put in the work. I want to be able to grow my own food, at least enough to live off of, if not enough to make money from. I'm currently working at a soul-draining factory job in a concrete tomb that pays decently, saving up money to put some kind of plan into action. But I really don't have much of a plan, I don't know enough, I don't know where to start. Assuming I find good land, where do I go from there? I know I need to act soon, at least within a couple years; I'm still young but not getting any younger!
Same here waking up every 14th of each month to 210,000 dollars it's a blessing to l and my family... I can now retire knowing that I have a steady income❤️Big gratitude to Maria Frances Hanlon
Loved the two videos I've watched so far and they are very direct and informative. I like that the videos are not to long. Some videos are sooooo long I get bored and change to another channel. You provide just the right amount of good information in a short period of time. Thanks !!!!
I am very inspired by your initiative to take a new project and learn the ins and outs of a very rewarding experience. I am sending you an abundance of prosperity and growth for your business and future success. I am watching learning and following from afar. You go girl. 🎯💪🚀
Thanks for sharing. I sold my rental properties, and I am considering farming since the Texas Veterans Commission has programs to help US military retirees/veterans.
I'd be interested in hearing how well you do with your pumpkin stand. I remember going through pumpkin patches as a kid around this time and it was fun. I've just been amazed at what some women have been able to accomplish alone in a gardening/farming capacity.
First time home buyers are being set up in many cities PLEASE GET YOUR OWN Inspectors. Ask local builders what the structure is worth. Many are investors them selves. Beware you otherwise could be getting set up for failure and will ruin your life! MONEY IS EVIL AS HELL!!!!
For myself, I need a min of 20 acres to have the room to grow food for my family, to sell, room for the animals in want to raise for my family and to sell, along with room to grow the food necessary to feed these animals and I will need room for my modest home, barn and other outbuildings plus onsite businesses that my family will be running.
What are the taxes? What are all the crops your going to grow? Do you talk to the other farmers in your area? You should interview some with good questions.
Thanks for the info. We may look into it. We have property already, but need a building for equipment and the current farmhouse is probably too far gone to fix up.
I love that you don’t want wall street or corporate America to privatize our agriculture even further, but what good is that if you’re just creating an S-Corp yourself? Legitimately wondering!
Thanks for the information. You’re the first one I’ve heard mention farm credit. Definitely going to contact them. Could you do a video with more information on how you chose your land and what due diligence you had to do prior to purchase? Did it already have a well? Did you need to have electrical run? What about sewer/septic? Thanks!
Yes, please do a video on the full financing. How much it cost you how much you had to start with. Most people don’t have a huge savings. Would like to know how to make it a reality based on how much you had to start with.
Great advice! I need to look into some of the grant programs for planting trees. I just moved into 16 acres in Stillwater and have been trying to grow all kinds of fruit trees. (The deer have been a bit of a problem though)
Did you ever do a video on what microgreens you're gardening? At first, I wanted to own some sort of land but learning from you that I can just rent a piece of land for less, this might be the way to go. I am thinking with the space I have to make it work on some external power, then I can start raising smaller animals like fish and a micro garden in the basement fully automated. Thank you very much for the videos.
Curious: have you considered keeping chickens, ducks, rabbits, etc for pest control, compost potential, etc for your farming? Putting in a pond for wildlife conservation and also for watering crops? May I recommend looking into permaculture principles (swales, etc) for maximizing water collecting and usage. You won't regret it. Following your journey closely. Thanks for all the info you're sharing. I don't know what substack is, but I'll look into it.
See... That's the thing. You're smart! I.... I am not. I've had problems with banks and I've been let down by family. I'm a mechanic by..... Birth, I don't understand half the things you've said. I CAN drive the tractor, I can fix the tractor, and I could produce with the tractor..... I just cant figure all this bank crap out. And honestly I'm just sick of being taken advantage of. Thank you.
Hi, am interested, wondering if non citizens could benefit from farm credit? I would love to know more about this. Thanks for the amazing work you are doing
Lending on land is not risky. Assume the land has a market value of $500k and they require 25% down. You give the bank $125k down, they lend you $375k at 9% plus their loan fees. So if you default in 5 years, they keep your $125k, take the land back along with any improvements, and then they resell the land for $500k. There is t even a structure that you can damage and drastically reduce the value of their asset.
Alexandra, just wanted to give you an idea for something to grow and sell. Broccoli sprouts. I think they may be the next best thing for all us longevity seekers....good luck to you💛
I'm going to purchase today the Farmer's Almanac 2025 I believe you without a child but it makes me think why is this so apparently obscure why isn't it more widespread well-known advertised something well regardless I'll tell you Alex you are compensating for this and a tremendous way I have no doubt of that as of in a few minutes a few videos now and I already memorized some of the stuff that you've said that I could share some of the details of the facts so but if you knew the answer that please let me know
Sure, this is doable. But most people will have to lease for the land, lease for the structure and work a 9-5 somewhere near by. Definitely not the same thing and overall less inspiring/exciting than what you were able to do (you are a bit of an exception if I may say so). But that being said, I commend you for trying to inspire and being more transparent than most. I did subscribe and am interested in how your project grows. Cheers!
When land was 600$ to 1500$ per Ac,,,,my banker told me that is pretty hard to scratch that $$ out of the dirt. Government deals changed all of that. Tax wise etc etc etc..Can you say Holocaust? PS: Careful what you eat...well breath,,,,well drink...well bath in....well buy and touch
They’re not taking a risk. the land would sit there regardless they’re collecting tax revenue from you that they don’t deserve. Try thinking about it like that.. that there’s a very good chance that the city Council and the government within your area is corrupted. Once they find out you’re making money they’re gonna want some of it and they don’t deserve it.. Alex u want to make a difference get on the city council
I havent seen your other vids yet but if you answered it forgive me. But what did you pay for the 7 acres? Was it farmed before? Did you get a deal if so how much off? Many thanks and blessings!
There are other ways to get loans for land OR seller finance. Farm Credit is what worked for me! And no, this is not sponsored by them. I just think the average American is missing out not knowing about the Farm Credit System.
Is this just for land, or can the land have a house on it?
30 percent of how much? Most Americans are broke! What are the costs of the structure on the property? Real Estate or private property in a trust?
@@FirstNumber1 it can have a barn and house. My land was zoned for 2 structures!
May I ask, did you get your loan as a personal loan in your name, or did you create a business name/llc?
@@PurePrairie I created an LLC for the farm, House of Green Saratoga LLC!

May I recommend looking into permaculture principles (swales, etc) for maximizing water collecting and usage. You won't regret it. Following your journey closely. Thanks for all the info you're sharing. I don't know what substack is, but I'll look into it.
See... That's the thing. You're smart! I.... I am not. I've had problems with banks and I've been let down by family. I'm a mechanic by..... Birth, I don't understand half the things you've said. I CAN drive the tractor, I can fix the tractor, and I could produce with the tractor..... I just cant figure all this bank crap out. And honestly I'm just sick of being taken advantage of.
Thank you.
Really like this video.
Also, you have pretty hands, especially for a farmer hah.
Haha I’m only 1 year into farming, so that may not be the case a few years from now 😂 but thank you!
Hi, am interested, wondering if non citizens could benefit from farm credit?
I would love to know more about this.
Thanks for the amazing work you are doing
Lending on land is not risky.
Assume the land has a market value of $500k and they require 25% down.
You give the bank $125k down, they lend you $375k at 9% plus their loan fees.
So if you default in 5 years, they keep your $125k, take the land back along with any improvements, and then they resell the land for $500k.
There is t even a structure that you can damage and drastically reduce the value of their asset.
If $24 trillion worth of land is about to hit the market (it isn't), why the hell would you want to buy ahead of that tsunami? Price will crash.
We will see if the dollar even lives to hold its value. There’s a reason why the big boys are doing the same thing. Ask Bill Gates.
Love the sweater!
Thank you!
Thanks for sharing 👍
Hay hay for your fields
Alexandra, just wanted to give you an idea for something to grow and sell. Broccoli sprouts. I think they may be the next best thing for all us longevity seekers....good luck to you💛
Uur so awesome. Thank you for the info.
You go girl 🎉
May I know How much loan you have taken and at what interest rate? and do they ask for collateral?
Hi Alex
LoL you live near me
I am saving to purchase land myself for my own farm.
yes, lot better than wall street
Hello from the Ville :)
Would be interested in how much you borrowed, your payment, and what kind of return you are going for or what you think is possible.
I'm going to purchase today the Farmer's Almanac 2025 I believe you without a child but it makes me think why is this so apparently obscure why isn't it more widespread well-known advertised something well regardless I'll tell you Alex you are compensating for this and a tremendous way I have no doubt of that as of in a few minutes a few videos now and I already memorized some of the stuff that you've said that I could share some of the details of the facts so but if you knew the answer that please let me know
Fasulo, old Campania family name. Hallo little bean👋🏻
Good info thanks. How do you plan to make money? Growing or livestock?
@@spazy3687 I’ll do videos on this next! Today I’ll film one on my farmstand
Sure, this is doable. But most people will have to lease for the land, lease for the structure and work a 9-5 somewhere near by. Definitely not the same thing and overall less inspiring/exciting than what you were able to do (you are a bit of an exception if I may say so). But that being said, I commend you for trying to inspire and being more transparent than most. I did subscribe and am interested in how your project grows. Cheers!
When land was 600$ to 1500$ per Ac,,,,my banker told me that is pretty hard to scratch that $$ out of the dirt. Government deals changed all of that. Tax wise etc etc etc..Can you say Holocaust? PS: Careful what you eat...well breath,,,,well drink...well bath in....well buy and touch
They’re not taking a risk. the land would sit there regardless they’re collecting tax revenue from you that they don’t deserve. Try thinking about it like that.. that there’s a very good chance that the city Council and the government within your area is corrupted. Once they find out you’re making money they’re gonna want some of it and they don’t deserve it.. Alex u want to make a difference get on the city council
Motivation 💯
Love the idea of being self sufficient .
Is it possible for a UK citizen to move to America & live a sustainable life there ?
What have you grown?
I’ve had a lot of gardens but not a farm. This seems like content farming.
Would you offer hunting lease? Maybe another income option
How much was the land? What’s a typical down payment?
Where did you buy? I'm in NJ. What state and how bad are your property taxes? Thanks
Is there ate by step program to teach us how start this I don’t want a 9-5 for job in a toxic environment for 25 years
Basically you got a mortgage for a home build on a few acres?
