How A Poor Man Can Buy Cheap Property (Version A)

I'm gonna show you in this video how a poor man can find and buy cheap property I did it you can to stay tuned [Music] a welcome back to pine Meadows hobby farm I'm your host Juri hints and like I said in the buffer if you're poor you just don't have much money and you're afraid you cannot just reach that American dream of your own land ownership well there is hope let me digress a bit we were homeless we were actually living in his camp trailer in the Walmart parking lot free campgrounds and church parking lots and I had lost my job and circumstances beyond our control we were with my wife and two teenage kids living this lifestyle for a couple of years until we were able to find a place to anchor and then once we got anchored during that time real quick I ended up having a heart attack open-heart surgery cardiac arrest blah blah blah so that was in the midst of being homeless so recuperating from the open-heart surgery and taking some workshops on focusing on developing skills and especially a new way of thinking which really helped me out of that rut and that is did getting finding some programs that were available to help me out of that and gain some skills that are good marketable skills I chose the medical industry that way in case something else happened to me I was within steps of the crash cart and I could hang around a little bit longer so now I'm working in a solid vocation and that supplied started supplying an income and one of the workshops I took really empowered me it helped me focus on my abilities rather than my disabilities and so my channel is all about encouraging people to rise above their circumstances and gain a foothold in life and also focusing on your abilities rather than your disabilities if you have the disabilities like I do with that knowledge and that power you can obtain anything you don't get if you don't ask or don't seek out so now to the main crux of the story of how to achieve the American Dream and land ownership if you're poor this is the entrance to pine Meadows hobby farm I discovered this one day while driving down the road past this place noticing weeds growing over it I was curious about it so without a visible address sign or a mailbox to obtain a address I went on google maps and I put my cursor in the middle of the tax law I right clicked on it and gave me the address I then typed in the address and came up with two items for this astha this property when number one is the gentleman had apparently died four years previous and number two is the cow the county had seized the property and was offering it up for sale at auction however the auction had already come in past so with the auction passed I went ahead and called the county and asked if they had this property still available they did nobody wanted the property because of what you see here it was a wreck apparently when the gentleman died squatters got on the land and destroyed everything including the single white mobile home but that was good for me that single wide mobile home meant the infrastructure was already in place it had a well septic power and phone all the infrastructure was in and it was already developed as a as a as a home site it all left behind was this stripped out RV and a couple of cars so with that said of course they didn't have any money with me or are on me but I did have a job and what I did was called the county as the Galef was still available and looked at their terms and their terms work if the property was more than $10,000 the county would carry the note for 20 years and they sell it at minimum bid price at over-the-counter sale and so I was able to collect the 10% down payment required to be able to initiate the process of purchasing the property I did that by taking my car down and getting a title loan from one of these title loan companies and got just enough money to be able to go ahead and pay the down payment we signed the papers we closed and the property became in our possession and ownership so the only other fee that we had to pay was like a fifty three dollar filing fee so the clerk could walk it across the hall and file it with the county recorders office so now this is 5.7 acres but beans the acreage is a uneven ground in surface area it actually covers 10 acres and I put the fencing and I had fencing already over at they acorn acres when we move down here so I had the material to be able my own fencing and then I purchased this double-wide manufactured home from a party down the road they wanted to build their dream house on a new form that they had just purchased and they just needed to get the home out of there so they sold it to me for $10,000 of course I made arrangements with her to pay 3,000 down and three hundred a month and till I got enough money to be able to pay it off but we had that home paid off really fast within nine months and it's a beautiful home again we were able to do it without financing of course with the private party they'd sold it to us interest-free so that's how we were able to pay it off real quick and just having a minimum job income we're not middle-class at all we're not Uppercross I just were what I can do and the income I have we were able to be successful and purchase this I put the house together myself saving a bundle of cash that I didn't have and another interesting thing I did with it being a mobile home or a manufactured home I was able to get a permit to swap out manufactured home furs manufactured home which included all of the hookups for the the sewer the water the power and I did all that myself here in our stay if you're a homeowner you can do all the all of the attachments yourself so long as you do it to code and the code inspectors come in and they look at it and they either flunky or pashia they passed me on all my inspections because I downloaded the code book from the state website to be sure that when I put this unit together I did it accurately and two codes so I knew I was going to be be able to pass these inspections to purchase all the material for the foundation I wanted my home set on a cement block foundation so what I did is I started Craigslist and I listed the axles there was six axles in Todd twelve wheels that I had purchased to install on the device on the unit when I had it moved so I owned those out right so I went ahead and listed it on my Craigslist and I got a substantial amount of money into my return to be able to sell those individually to other private parties and that gave me the extra money to buy some of the material I was still lacking some material so I was looking around for something else to sell and with this I had to show a little bit of ingenuity and this is where my youtube channel started so what happened is I was looking around the house to see if I had anything at a value I found in my smile a footlocker an old metal toy well it's this toy right here it's a metal tank battery operated so I made a video of the tank operating and then I went on started a YouTube account and posted this video on YouTube that's the birth of my youtube channel well it wasn't a channel yet it was just a YouTube video so once I launched that onto YouTube I went ahead and started opened up a Bey account and posted this for sale on eBay and started a oh what you call PayPal account so in case somebody wanted to buy it they can just send the money through PayPal so now here's the next step that had to take to be able to get this little toy expose I did some research and found out this five dollar and fifty five cent toy that was sold in the 1965 Sears & Roebuck Christmas catalog is of interest to some investors who collect this type of toys and these these this toy was a part of a series of five or six toys in the band I Lou nerd toy series whatever it was well anyway I opened up a Craigslist I had my Craigslist account so I posted an advertisement on Craigslist in all the major cities I can think of because I figured the major cities as where people with liquid assets would be located so I listed it in Paris France Rome Italy London England Miami Florida New York Atlanta Seattle LA you know cities like that Dallas Fort Worth and I got a nibble I sold that toy for over $800 to an investor down Dallas yep that's right so that gave me the funds that I was able to use to purchase the rest of the material for the foundation I might add that when I purchased the manufactured home it came with the awnings for the carport and the deck and the deck itself and the heat pumps so I did have those additional costs so that's how I bought the land and the house for really cheap and being poor I was able to obtain the American dream and do it creatively you don't need to go through the conventional pathways that everybody set up for you to try to steer you through and pay them lots of money to be able to meet the ends of getting that American dream it's been four years now since we've been on this property and we'll hopefully have it paid off in about another five years so I hope I was able to encourage you and give you some information that you can go with not I don't think every county has this kind of option but be resourceful and explore to see what other options are available for you because there's all kinds of methods in which you can buy property you don't have to do it the conventional way and above all be patient and don't be afraid to ask so the rest of my videos and the archives are the adventure that I've taken to the process of putting the house together and developing the land building all my outbuildings using free material that was given to me or material I purchased from the sale of livestock that I would raise so you know try to be resourceful and work within your means and stop focusing on your disabilities I hope I've encouraged and inspired I'm your host Jerry Hanson this is pine Meadows hobby farm I want to thank you for tuning in and
