As a country we have to get away from all these idiots pushing zoning laws or HOA's and deed restrictions. If land is classified as unrestricted then it should be unrestricted. No HOA's, zoning laws or deed restrictions. And, if you have no children, or your children have aged out or graduated out of public schools you should not be forced to pay school taxes either. It is not my responsibility to pay for your children's education nor should you have to pay for mine.
Do not live in Texas. Texas politics alone are a reason. Weather forecast in the next 20 years, Texas will be on fire. Florida is drowning due to rising oceans. I'm 6th generation Texan and in the process of leaving the state.
I want a place I can live in my RV on my own land. I don't like a house b/c it's a lot to clean, heat/cool, insure, keep up and taxes. Houses are a scam if you're single. I can live well in 500 sq. ft. Most people have houses that are way more than they need and cost a ton of money to keep up.
Why do you hate Texans so much that you want to give any help to MORE people To buy property here and help them run Real Texans out because they are charging California prices
Good advice for those who are new to purchasing real property. The blessings and the curses. You already covered this and many areas with potential don’t convey mineral rights which I stay away from those properties. With regards to finding out what encumbrances exist. I believe that’s the value of title insurance!
Wow, you definitely know your stuff! We're visiting Austin area next month to see if we want to move there. Trying to find land to garden, have chickens, etc. Will keep you in mind if we decide to move!
@@svuvmdv4608 Texas wasn't for us. Too fast paced. Need to find slower, quieter towns 😝 Also very dry and not much vegetation. Coming from Seattle, I'm used to a lot of tall trees and greenery year-round.
@@frogsofindiaI figured north east of texas was greener. Tenessee is tax free and lands are cheap. Lands are green too. If you avoided flood zone, TN might be great? Under 2k per acre. You can be my neighbor !!. I want to grow veggies, keep bees... flowers... It rains like seattle too in TN.
6:00 so the land Has to produce revenue, very interesting. I have an offer for a fantastic role in San Antonio; in about the middle of my life I finally woke up enough to want to buy my own land. I was going to do it here in North Carolina, but I like Texas just the same, but it seems like it’s even more difficult there.
I LOVE ❤️ the deed restrictions that came with our property. They were pretty light but we love every single one of them. For instance, It keeps the commercial businesses of an otherwise “residence,” out! It also keeps the cheap single-wides and double-wides out! Those can really devalue the neighborhood that has otherwise “glitzy” and expensive beautiful properties and custom houses on them. Deed restrictions can basically keep the the trailer park trash out. Now tell me that’s a bad thing. Sometimes, deed restrictions make the property that much more desirable if one is looking for a classy and clean “neighborhood.” In California, they have what’s called “Mello-Roos” tax. It’s a special property tax in towns and cities that enhance public parks, landscaping, services etc…. Now, most of us hate property tax, agreed. However, Mello-Roos many times keeps the “trash” from moving in to the neighborhood, because they can’t afford the additional tax that’s added to already existing property tax. That’s definitely a benefit in my experience. So the neighborhoods tend to stay clean, desirable and the property values stay higher than older and more established “legacy” cities. So back to deed restrictions, sometimes they too can be desirable, depending on what they are of course, and to keep the trash, dirt bags and slobs out of an otherwise beautiful neighborhood. Now HOA’s…. Forget about it. Those are just nazis.
Thank you so much for bringing up the host issues with unrestricted because unrestricted 41isunrestrictedfortheothersuchagoodvalidationandunfortunate Also what scary is candles restrictions ever change b**** or are you grandfathered in
@@WhereToLiveInAustin - I’d like to build in the Hill Country - between San Antonio & Austin. I just recently started researching the process of buying land & building so I appreciate the info!
@@musicjunkie333 Ok thanks, that helps. Builders tend to work in certain areas and certain builders can be better at building @ specific price points. Without knowing where you end up exactly and the budget etc. it's tough to nail down. But, Let me give you a few names to get started. If you end up building around dripping, Kyle Fernandez. Outside of there, look at Nalle or Blue Horse. All solid builders. Feel free to email me if you have more questions ray@shapleyrealty.com.
@@jonslagill8864 I'm very "right." Bought land in East TN. Actually Morgan Wallen's family tobacco farm. Couldn't handle the Hatfield and McCoy mentality still there. nor the misogonist perspective very prevalent there(and i am not feminist at all.) Selling and moving to East Texas.
Dang with that many acres I would build a ranch style garage/giant barn and a cricular round about driveway with 6-7fields behind the house the house in question needs porchs so my southern butt can sit down 😂
I appreciate your channel it's very informative. I am wondering, assuming there are no restrictions whatsoever, and there are 2 separate portions of the land (one AG exempt and the other a Homestead. If I build a mother in law suite home on the AG exempt portion of the land, would that significantly increase my taxes on that AG exempt land? Similarly if I add more structures to that AG land how does that increase taxes? Thank you!
In a scenario where you own two separate pieces of land, one that is exempt as farm (AG) land and the other is residential land (Homestead), building your mother-in-law's house on the AG-exempt piece of land can impact your property taxes, depending on the law. property taxes applicable in your area. Construction of a house on AG-exempt portions of land may change the property's tax status from agricultural use to residential or commercial use, depending on local policies and applicable tax regulations. This can lead to an increase in property values and, as a result, increase the amount of property taxes you have to pay. The addition of other structures to land that AG is exempt from can also have an impact on property tax assessments and increases. Property tax assessments can consider the value and use of the land as a whole, including all structures on it. Therefore, by adding new structures to AG land, the overall property value may increase, and the property taxes you have to pay may increase as a result. However, property tax rules and policies can vary by county in Texas, so it's important to consult with your local property tax office or tax advisor to understand in detail how building your mother-in-law's house or adding other structures could affect your property taxes in that area. They can provide information that is more specific and appropriate to your situation.
I'm glad I found this video. I am from the upper Midwest wanting to relocate to a warmer and dryer climate in the next 2-3 years. I learned a lot from your video. Looking at online RE ads in Texas, it looks like wells are not always installed, even on developed properties. Are there parts of Texas where you just have to drill too deep to make wells an option? If you so, can you give me some idea of what parts of the state to avoid if I am set on having a private well? Also, on properties that do already have a private well, is there a prevalence of those wells going dry? Subscribed :)
It wasn't always that way we have a lot of people from out West buying up properties to either redevelop them and have us pay them rent. And driving up the market value as well. The small town that I grow up in is almost exclusively owned by "land men" a lot of them don't do anything with it except collect mineral rights, luckily like he said most ppl wont trsnsfer those - we sold twelve acres of our familys lands and my father retained the rights, Probably the only thing I don't regret about that sale! Not to mention, it's just so growing TX is pretty low cost of living compared - if you want to rent lol
