Just to recap, previously, we talked about [Read more…] about GIS: A Powerful Tool for Your Property Search – Part 2
Hello everyone. This past weekend, we ventured back out to the property to do a little bit of yard work. In one of our previous posts, “Surprise, Surprise! What We Found On The Land“, we talked about going out to the land and doing some brush hogging. Well, that involved a rental truck, rental ramps, and a rental brush hog – and all of that equaled dollars!! [Read more…] about Yard Work at the Homestead
No. Not really LOL. We went out to the property again this past weekend to make sure the area we cleared out from the last time was still neat. You know anytime we go out there we’re going to come back with something to talk about. Wouldn’t you know it, we had to cut the grass again. No surprise. It’s been a week, it’s been raining like crazy, and well…grass is going to do what grass does when it gets rain and sunshine. [Read more…] about I See……Dead People?!
Hello Everyone. Today, I want to share with you one of the tools we used in our search for land and I will do this in two parts. In today’s post, I will do an introduction to GIS and how you can potentially locate the tool for your area. In the second part, I will talk more about how we used the tool in hopes that it can help you on your journey as well. Also, I will try my best not to geek out. I am in the software industry and by nature sometimes that’s what I do. The cool thing is that being a little computer savvy can help in your land search as well.

Hey ya’ll!
I just wanted to do another check-in on our journey. As you may know, we closed last month on our property. Even after a 6 month, long, and tedious closing, I look back on it and think – “Man, that was the easy part!”. It seems as if we’ve been met by challenges at every corner.

So, the saga continues. If you recall in our last journey update, we were working on access to our property. If you missed it, hop on over to the blog post about “Easements and Road Frontage” and check it out first. As we continue to work on access to our property, things never seem to be as easy as they ought to be. You would think that if you own your property it would be as simple as finding some dirt, rocks, and building yourself a driveway, but not so. [Read more…] about Driveways & State Maintained Roads

Today – June 14, 2018 – is one of the most awesome days of our lives (besides our wedding and babies being born)!!! Today we FINALLY closed on our land and we are thrilled to be able to share the news! Back in December 2017, we shared our first blog post about the beginning of our journey. Since that time, we have gone through the long process of getting to this day.
For us, it is really special because if you are keeping count, it has taken us SIX MONTHS to [Read more…] about Today, The Land Became Ours
DISCLAIMER: We are not realtors. We are just sharing what we’ve learned with you.
So, you’ve decided, you’re ready to start this homestead journey and for you, it’s going to require a bit more space. You let yourself imagine being on property with enough space to do all of your homesteading dreams – or what you can afford to do at the moment. If you’re anything like us, you could be thinking, “Good grief, where do I start?” One thing you might decide to do is find a realtor. But, should you just use any realtor? I mean, you met your mom’s friend’s sister once. And she’s so nice! Maybe you should just go with her – right? [Read more…] about So You’re Ready For Some Property – Are All Realtors Equal?
