  • How to Get Free Real Estate in the United States
    Have you ever wanted to buy a piece of land, own a home, or not have a mortgage? Most people do.
    Having your own real estate is what most of us strive towards.
    This list is about places that will give you free land to start a new life. Best of all, no mortgage or home loan, whatever you want to call it. Some places offer free land to businesses that will bring jobs to their community. So, for all your companies that work on the internet, like call centers, factoring companies, Data Rooms, or other websites, this video is for you. Any Realtor or Real Estate agent will tell you free land is great for you but not for them because they don't get any commission. So, call the towns or get on their websites.

    As a realtor in my opinion, a housing market crash is imminent due to the high number of individuals who purchased homes above the asking price despite the low interest rates. These buyers find themselves in precarious situations as housing prices decline, leaving them without any equity. If they become unable to afford their homes, foreclosure becomes a likely outcome. Even attempting to sell would not yield any profits. This scenario is expected to impact a significant number of people, particularly in light of the anticipated surge in layoffs and the rapid increase in the cost of living.

      I suggest you offset your real estate and get into stocks, A recession as bad it can be, provides good buying opportunities in the markets if you’re careful and it can also create volatility giving great short time buy and sell opportunities too. This is not financial advise but get buying, cash isn’t king at all in this time!

    Marquette, KS (about 30 miles southwest of Salina) has a free land program, where they will give you a piece of land with all utilities for you to build a home on. Apparently, they are fairly flexible concerning what you build. Teeny Tiny town. But here's the thing: they understand what they can offer and trying to leverage that. They are within a "reasonable" commuting distance to jobs. They know they cannot offer jobs, but they are within a reasonable commute. To help compensate for this, they have two other things they offer families. First, the town created a non profit and offers high quality low cost childcare for kids. Second, the town grocery store is a co-op of sorts, so you can get all your basics without paying those super high price small town prices. They also have various community events. The guy who owns the distillery in the local town square seems to be the guy who knows everyone to talk to. My husband and I passed thru there and met the whole town on one of their Marquette Mondays. We honestly would consider such a place if we were a young a family (but we are empty nesters).

Solar panels for electricity, rain catchment system for water to use in garden and maybe personal use if enough, that kind of thing. Yes, I have been giving this a lot of thought.

Typically there's days where it stops snowing, and if it's light snow with wind it'll blow off of roads. If it's wet then you just drive 15mph or less. Salt is helpful but off grid it's not that easy. Or get snow travel like a snow mobile, during tough winters it's fun and effective! But the best way is to have enough food, water, and ways to heat without leaving the home.

    And in some countries in the world they offer permanent residency and citizenship to people who are willing to invest a certain amount of money to buy a property in their country and by doing this they bring in a lot of wealth into their countries from abroad, simply by sometimes the homes their own people did not want anymore.

    I loved how you spoke about Flagler, CO while showing video and pics of lush, verdant mountains when that town is anything but. Geographically it is just western Kansas which is utterly flat and featureless. You have to drive an hour west before you even start to see a hint of the mountains. Also, a big problem with moving to these dying rural towns is that they are run by dying rural governments with utterly incompetent and often downright corrupt government officials. I recently moved away from a little Colorado town exactly like that and never want to see it again. And before anyone here starts in about it being a blue state, eastern Colorado is as hard conservative as anything you will find anywhere else. Corruption and greed know no political boundaries.

    Back in 2019, Saint Louis MO had a program similar to the one in Buffalo NY. They sold only 4 houses in the first year. It's a tough sell because it takes a lot of work to restore the house and then you have to live in a neighborhood for 3 years that may have a bunch of other houses around you that also need a lot of work.

    There’s tons of land that you can get in the Midwest states. Kansas, Nebraska, and Iowa like you said have great deals for land giveaways. Montana should have been on the list too because out east where it’s really empty, small towns give amazing deals for free land. Hundreds of acres for a low price. Montana has about 58.1M acres of farmland, Kansas has about 43M, Nebraska has 44.1M acres, and Iowa has about 35.5M. Those 4 states are empty and have lots of farmland for sale. Texas has about 127M acres of farmland, but forget about buying it. At least 35M people already have control over it.

The suburbs are mostly nice and there's a lot of nice areas of the city. I get it, you hate Buffalo. Please stop making it look like hell. I used to go to college in erie PA. It has less crime, but it's VERY poor. And there's no industry left. Buffalo has a lot of industry still and we're experiencing job growth. There's less job opportunities in Erie than Buffalo. I actually like Buffalo a lot better having lived in both. It's got a lot more going for it. And yeah, we are die hard fans that watch the bills in the snow.

I guess it’s sincerely aimed at low income Buffalo residents that have knowledge of the vacant house or land, where as Detroit is advertising it like Zillow to the world. 👍 👍 Informative video.

    Chicago's crime is concentrated in the south & WEST sides, not the east. Lake Michigan is on the east side, and (as in many places) land near the coast tends to be more valuable. There is a weird thing where the community neighborhood of Austin on the far west side of Chicago is notoriously crime-ridden... but then if you go right across the border out of Chicago into Oak Park it's highly desirable real estate.
