Top 10 Affordable States to Buy Land in 2024! 🌳💰 

Ive got 18.5 acres in middle of nowhere Iowa, surrounded by corn fields for miles. Probably not everyones cup of tea, but its quiet and peaceful. Can leave my project cars and parts vehicles sitting around without it being an "eyesore" to uppity HOA neighbors, can shoot my guns and bomb around on dirt bikes without anyone complaining or cops showing up. Was $164,000 in '08. 1350 sq ft 3 bedroom 1.5 bath house with a finished basement, attatched 2 car garage, a second detached 2 car garage, 6 different outbuildings/barns/sheds. Was a working farm at one time, they sold off the crop fields to neighboring farms and bought the rest of it. According to the county auditor its worth $330,000ish now, still not to shabby considering that would buy you a cardboard box in a alley in someplace like california...😂

Lived in NM for 30 years. Glad to finally get out. One of the biggest problems is a lack of water. Some areas that are very rural have had wells run dry and have to pay to have drinking water trucked in.

I was born in tornado Alley! I'm sorry but natural disaster happens everyday everywhere,, I'm tired of being homeless 😢 I just want a piece of land Big enough for my camper and the tiny house I want to get, a horse or two, my chicken's, dogs , cat's, and Bird's! I want to grow my food and live on my own place and not have to stress about someone kicking me out!

Most of these locations are in tornado alley. 😓

Got off grid in 2022. Moved from San Diego, CA to the mountains of North Carolina. Much more affordable here and living "off-grid" is worth it's weight in gold. When it all comes down, get rural! Only way to survive the "shift", SHTF, Fallout, EMP, etc.

Always check elevation! Above 5000 feet can be a challenge with breathing for some.

Land everywhere has skyrocketed the last few years. I got extremely lucky and bought 3.5 acres in N Mississippi not far from Memphis TN. It got wrangled up in an estate sale and I didn't get the title filed for it until over a year later. I ended up getting it for 40K which I thought was a lot but I went ahead and did it anyway. Shortly after I bought it the city expanded it's limit line out to the property. It is still in the county but right on the edge. Here lately I have had home builders calling me trying to buy it because it fronts blacktop on 2 sides and has electric and water out at the street. Anyway I NOT selling. That land is my retirement plan. LOL.

I live in Costilla, CO now, and its really nice. I wish there were some more amenities, but the peace and quiet is incredible! Im in a small house/cabin on 5 acres. I get to look at the mountains all day. :)

Would you consider doing another video for land sales that permit full-time residency in one’s rv? 🚌

I bought 40 acres in Morgan County West Virginia for 105k. Steep hills but plenty to build on👍Extra awesome if you consider the very limited requirements for permits and almost no inspections.

Growth ruins dreams because growth only benefits developers, so I chose an area with very slow growth and zoned agricultural. My taxes are low, traffic is light and I have few neighbors. That let me retire affordably and I am loving it!

cut to the chase: alabama, oklahoma, oregon, ny, missouri, mississippi, colorado, arkansas, nm, az... but check the property tax rates as oregon & colorado run high...

I fortunately bought land at the right time. In 2016 I bought a 5 acre parcel in Northern AZ with power and city water for just $14,000. It's on a dirt road but it's very close to pavement. It's worth more than double now.

In August I bought in Apache County. My land has beautiful views, trees, and great temperatures. Cost, $777/acre.

I visited Tennessee in 2005. Back then, you could get raw land for $1000-1200 per acre.

My wife & I watch almost all your videos. We love your style we live in Mo & in LE working in St.louis we are about to retire soon & looking for a piece of land to disappear on so appreciate this video especially.

Raw farm land is much cheaper than this video says. When you average the entire state, you are not comparing apples to apples. If the plan is to homestead and do some hobby farming, the most important consideration should be average annual rainfall. Rain is kind of important when farming.

I noticed a lot of these places lack trees, since trees add value. Would explain why West Virginia isn't on the list.

How about making a similar list for cheap agricultural land use? Thanks for the info and for the entertainment

Now which one will let you pitch a tent for 6 months???? Where is the best soil quality for growing your own food soil without too many rocks or hard clay🎉🎉🎉🎉thoughts? Top ten on richest soil, rainfall for crop growing🎉🎉🎉🎉best🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉thanks Briggs😊😊😊😊

Another awesome video Briggs. Keep up the great work!

As someone who lives one county over from St. Lawrence county NY. I Can confirm that NYC and NY state are two different places

Nice video as always, land is cheap there for a reason. Maybe a companion video about property taxes showing the worst and the best. Kinda factors in to buying land, a home in areas.

Great insights! Planning my future homestead, so this is super helpful. Excited to explore these affordable states. Thanks for the tips

Thanks for sharing this insightful video! It's always great to explore affordable options when it comes to buying land. The opportunity to own a piece of property is a dream for many, and these states seem like fantastic choices for those looking to make that dream a reality in 2024. I appreciate the research and data you've provided to help us make informed decisions. Looking forward to more content like this! 🏡💼🌄

NC has a few decent counties that are EXTREMELY cost-effective (cheap)! I've been looking at some nice homes which need a little work (& some that are in need of total rehabs), but absolutely worth looking into due to the prices. 😊

I was looking at lakeside property in northern Idaho back in the early 80s. Now I feel like a fool for not buying any.

Upper peninsula, 37.9 acres, cabin with a new well and septic. $65.000 in 2021.

Fun fact: Lake County has less than 9,000 people across 8,353 square miles. Lakeview is a cute town, just over 2,000 people.

I could see this being a good idea to buy land now with the intention of putting a trailer on it so you have a place to retire for a reasonable price. In fact a group of retirees could even pool money and put a few trailers on an acre to cut costs and maybe pay for things like drilling a community well or bringing electricity to the site.

Wow, this video is super helpful! Planning to invest in land soon, and these affordable states are just what I needed. Thanks for sharing!

40 acres in apache County AZ. 21,000$ above 7000 ft. Hard winds and hard living WORTH IT ❤

Mirth per the humor. Fabulous! Thank you.

Thank you for researching these!

I bought 135 acres in Maine for $915 per acre. Aroostook county and it's not an off grid site.

Cross reference with epa superfund site map

We got a 3 bdrm craftsman on a fenced and gated acre with a barn & greenhouse on the northshore across from New Orleans for only $35K in early 2018. Crime is practically nonexistant where we are and the schools are amazing. Sometimes ya just get lucky

It's a shame that so many affordable places seem to either be desert of flat. Although you did have one place that you said was in the Ozarks. Maybe someday I will get to visit the Ozarks. I do enjoy these video's. Even though I will Probably live in Kentucky the Rest of my life. I'm afraid getting the Kentucky out of me is rather difficult,if not impossible.

I absolutely ❤ these videos. The jokes have me 😂. I've been binge watching lately.

I live in Jersey! The land here is ridiculously expensive, like $100k-$200k, for a lot that’s probably a half acre or less! 2 years ago, my wife and I bought a half acre in South Carolina for $2k. We built our house and plan on moving in 2 years! Today the same size lot, in SC is north of $25k-30k😳

Love your videos you do a fantastic job with all of them. Keep up the good work.

Amazing Cheapest land Thank you for videos

Love the video Briggs! You and your staff did your homework on this one! Lake County, OR is way underrated in my opinion. Nice county with a wonderful little town of Lakeview as the county seat.

I live in Lakeview Oregon the country seat of Lake County have been watching your channel for years always waiting for you to mention Lake County when you talk about Oregon

I bought 33.5 acres of wooded land in TN. for $600 an acre in 2006 ! Taxes today are only $58 a year total !

My brother and Mom live in Franklin County NY which borders St Lawrence County NY.. he bought 5 acres up there back in 2010, paid 5k for 5 acres.. Land is flat as a pancake, lots of Amish, I mean LOTS of Amish up in that area, which also means a lot of great food and cheap lumber. In the summer, it is beautiful... In the Winter, 2 years ago the REAL temp at his place was -37 degrees F.. without the wind-chill... The fall comes fast, the spring slow.. The area is very RED politically.. you will see many TRUMP signs all over up there, along route 11, 22, 37, 56.. ect.. The cops.. I got pulled over one time with my Harley motorcycle trailer.. they wanted to inspect the inside.. I was going to make them get a search warrant, just because I was just going down the road, speed limit, listening to music minding my own business.. It was a local cop.. They held me until a State cop could get there as back up.. State cop told me the only reason they want to check my trailer is for people being smuggled from Canada into the US.. .. WHAT.. I DID not know that was a thing.. I opened up the trailer and I was on my way... is all the local cop would have had to say was just that instead of being a hard ass... But, what ever.. Seriously on the human smuggling up along that border.. Has something to do with the Indian reservations, and all that.. Don't know, I didn't ask a lot of questions.. BUT that is that area of NY State... BTW, Potsdam NY St Lawrence County.. AMAZING Hotdogs.. there is a Hotdog factory that makes POTSDAM hotdogs.. If you are in the area, buy them.. Trust me.

Near Casper Wyoming you can buy 50 acre plots of land for 50,000. Yes, $1,000 per acre. But they don't include water or electricity. It's in the high desert, so it's sandy, windy, and dry. Don't expect to grow anything

Would love to see a video on the best affordable vintage downtown commercial.

I was hoping to see Wyoming, Montana, or Idaho for 2k an acre

When I moved to California in 2003 the County of San Bernardino was selling lots for $1K and above. Everyone was thinking they were going to multiple their investment in the future. 21 years later there is still no plan to urbanize 40 miles from those lots.

Thanks for the vid!! I know all about Perry County! A lot of families have moved out of Perry County and counties surrounding Perry County. I was also looking there

Excited to explore affordable land options. Could you also cover zoning laws and property taxes in future videos? Thanks!

I heard you state two times that Arkansas had a lot of problems. To be clear, I like your videos but to make statements like above, not just once but twice, without stating facts to support the disparaging remarks, is less than genuine. I am not from Arkansas but lived there 15 years and it’certainly has it all over states like Oregon & New York, that you commented on.

Surprised that WV is not on this list Somewhat surprised that New York is on this list Still willing to use Binghamton as a benchmark for place to live as population for me

Interesting video. Thanks for making it

Thank You!

Surprised Kentucky was not on this list or Louisiana

Great resourceful land in the upper peninsula of michigan

Thumbs up for effort. These are all realtor prices. Realtor and vacant land go together like booze and Corvettes. Move the decimal point and I still won't buy. The magic only happens when you get realtors and similar out of the picture. A non-realtor price is a ranch price.

Great video man!!! When you went on a rant about the dude from Alabama that made music 😂😂😂 Great Vid

Definitely check out some Alan Jackson you won’t regret it lol 😊

My dad grew up in Hollis in Harmon County. OK. I was there. I had a lot of fun on his grandmother's farm. He grew up poor, but he didn't go hungry.

I'm actually surprised that NE Kansas didn't make the list. I've been watching land there for a couple years and even though prices have increased significantly you can still find land for about $7000/ac. I'm hoping it'll go back down to closer to $4500/ac sooner rather than later.

Thank you for the research and useful information, Briggs. God bless you!

GREETINGS FROM THE PPRC GREAT VIDEO AS ALWAYS. NOTHING IN CALIFORNIA 😎🇺🇸🍺🍺

Ty for this🎉 I am looking for land...can u do a deeper dive...of Cheapest land states?? Would love to know..this information by state...maybe top five counties❤.. taking in consideration crime and distance to good Healthcare??? I

Thank you for this video! I been looking to buy land over a house.

I am surprised Minnesota and Wisconsin are not on the list.

You could be my land neighbor in beatty oregon. I noticed a few lots down they got an acre and a half of land for $7500. Even has some pine trees on the property. 🤪👍

Great content!

North Central WA, lots of 20 acre parcels for under $30K. These parcels have trees and amazing views of the snow-capped Cascade mountains.. Down the road from me is a 6,000 acre development of 20 acre parcels with under ground power to every parcel. All private roads with roads plowed in the winter and graded/repaired in the summer. HOA fees are $200 a year. 20 acre parcels range from $28K to 60K. I lived there in a 3,600sqft log home for 15 years and loved it. Five years ago I purchased 40 acres up the hill. It has a pond, old growth timber forest, a 48X36 new steel stop with concrete slab floor and a 250' well with pump. I paid $105,000 for it.

Knot IT!!! Awesome 👍🏽

i always enjoy these vidios

Thanks!

One should keep in mind that things are usually only cheep when the people with money don't want them, because there are too hot , too cold. not enough water.

Well the ones caught my attention is rural n or or co . Definitely have to research the areas tho . To bad wy / Montana or wva didn’t make list

I bought 2.5 acres in Bonanza OR for $12k in Klamath Falls Estates. Undeveloped and some lots have electric but mine didn't. So thats about $4,800 an acre.

Can you do a video on cheapest places to buy, own and moor a houseboat?

Great video ! I really want to buy land in oregon somewhere far from Portland lol

In early 2020, Acres upon acres for sale at $1000 per, in Yucca AZ and for 20 miles South, off the paved roads. Bone dry, when the February rains come, the tops of the electric poles get wet, but not the bottom. Stand under a storm burst, and just catch cool air.

Add Indiana to this list

I would love to see where floating homes are allowed from Louisiana to Tennessee.

Let me also add Handcock Country, Mississippi. I bought a vacant lot for $1200....the catch is you have to bulld a house at "19' BFE" or in better words on stilts 19 feet off the ground 😂 but you can camp on it...😊

Hi! The pictures that you showed at 1:24 are actually from a town in the upper peninsula of Michigan called Newberry!

I think we drove through that Apache county. It was bleak, impoverished, desert with a sandstorm hitting us as we drove through.

THANKS

If your willing to go off-grid you can get cheap land in AZ for as low as $1,000-$2,000 an acre

Maybe you could do a video that ties in the cheapest land with lowest tax burden. You could do it by normal tax burden or by retirement tax burden.

great

I would love to buy land in Colorado

There is and has been for ages, (TONS) of land for sale in Culberson county texas well under $1,000 per acre. Even in Crockett county Texas the land is around $1,000 give or take a few hundred per acre. I have seen some land in Van Horn as low as $350 per acre in 2023 and in Ozona as low as $847 per acre.

Thanks for the video If you want to move out from the cities you can get property a whole lot cheaper than what you are quoting I would recommend buying property outside of the city where there are no building permits required, etc. The further you move out the cheaper it is Without building permits required you can do whatever you want 😂😂

Providing a list of these counties would have been nice.

I'm curious what data sources you use for helping you to find the cheap land/houses/etc? I can find some information if I'm looking in a specific area, but finding it say accross a state or accross the US I'm not sure how that's done.

I live in Apache county and you can buy 40 acers for about $16,000 on payments, just where the land is I don't know because I never looked into it. I already own a house and some land here.

11,000 an acre Siskiyou county California in the Cascade mountains just east of McCloud Off grid property.

I saw Holmes County MS….the city land may be that high but outside is much cheaper.

Colorado is one of my favorite states

Desert areas near Joshua Tree in California acres go for $10k or so

Brigs, we don't want res. acres. We want ag acres. Love your channel. Mora, that's a Swedish name. The lead singer of Hammerfall is from Mora, Sweden.
