    I remember in 2009 when I was working in real estate seeing people buy homes new from builders with the intention of selling before close of escrow to a new buyer for profit. The crash was so brutal and fast that I remember seeing a lot of these units foreclosed on with the builder plastic still on the carpet.

      Most people find it difficult to handle a fall since they are used to bull markets, but if you know where to look and how to maneuver, you can make a size-able profit. Depending on how you intend to enter and exit, yes.

      I've shuffled through investment coaches and yes, they can be positively impactful to an individual's portfolio, but do your due diligence to find a coach with grit, one that withstood the 08' crash. For me, *Julianne Iwersen Niemann* l turned out to be better and smarter than all the advisors I ever worked with till date, I’ve never met anyone with as much conviction.

    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).

      I just want a small piece of land (only about an acre or 2 - maybe 3 at the most) somewhere that is close enough to town that I have access to emergency health care should I need it, but far enough out that I can do an off grid tiny house homestead - complete with raised bed garden, edible landscaping (fig trees, blueberry bushes, pecan trees, etcetera), container herb garden, chickens, and maybe a dairy cow or dairy goat. 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.

    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.

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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

It's a simple trade with no required schooling or licenses, just requires common sense, attention to detail, and the utmost in personal integrity. If you have any questions in that trade, hit me up.

    For the Kansas towns, there's no need to go to Topeka. Salina is actually decent for just about everything you need, and Hays, about 90m west of Salina on I-70, is a small college town and has most necessities. Anything in the northern Wichita metro area (Newton, Hutchinson, too) would actually be closer than Topeka. (Kansas native here. If being too remote is an issue, Lincoln would be a decent choice. It's close enough to Salina or Hays to commute for a job and get into town when necessary. Not sure I'd personally pick Osborne or Plainville for myself. I've stayed with relatives in farming regions, and getting to where you have some necessary services is a huge chore. Also, schools in rural Kansas need some care... the state school board funding has been abysmal the last couple of decades with the rural districts being hurt the most.
    Was looking for something interesting, but alas, all dying farming communities. Been wanting to put up a small IT/computer business somewhere people might need me, but there's no elbow room in the Wichita area.

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.

    Don't bash on Iowa so bad. The schools rank some of the best in the country, the University of Iowa has some of the best medical care and best college of medicine in the country. People from all over the world come for the school. Des Moines has close to a million and Cedar Rapids (where I live) has over 500k if you include the connected towns. I grew up in CA/NV and we moved here when I was a teen. It's pretty safe, minus the gangs coming from Chicago. We also are only hours away from several major cities.

      @@safirerose133 Building a home and actually living in it full time for a number of years is usually part of the requirement. I doubt that Bill Gates would commit to living in Curtis, Nebraska for several years. These communities want people that will come in and put down roots, raise families, supports local businesses, and become part of the communities .... not some jet setter that that visits once a year.

    I actually would not mind living in Milwaukee its not bad. Was there late November and it was nice. I think its very underrated. And Chicago is not that far away either. I could probably live there its a very beautiful state.

    DO NOT be showing Colorado mountains for Flagler, CO. Eastern Colorado is full of lovely people, but NOT any lovely valleys. It is flat.

    Interesting video and will look into them. Never know. But I know it's so wrong for me to say it but when people say they want 40 acres and a mule. Well ..there you go.

    Can you do a video about countries around the world that will give you free land and/or homes with permanent residency?

      Italy 🇮🇹 provides free houses and maybe lands in small villages. I have recently watched a few videos about this topic!

      Probably only Italy as free or subsidized. South Africa offer reciprocal property rights and easy permanent residency though you'd have to buy, but the prices are affordable.

    Nobody should have to pay for any land whatsoever. This is ridiculous to say the least but it's nice that you have posted this. It is never and was never the government or the bank's there is no proof or claim of that. Our inheritance lies with the one most high and the land is exactly that. Our gift
