How to have a home with no house payments and no utility bills!
I saw this guys YouTube channel, and found it to be interesting.

After you watch the initial video, try watching some of his other videos. He actually makes it look pretty doable. You could buy an inexpensive piece of land wherever you want, then put a cabin like this on it for dirt cheap, live on solar and wind power, and propane for the stove, refrigerator, and hot water heater.

You could EASILY afford satellite internet, so that you can surf GLP!

Yeah especially here.
It's a lot more difficult to buy land and live off the grid with all our stupid local council laws. They're nazis.

No one owns anything in today's America.. you're all just renters... Even if you PAY OFF a house, you have property tax, and if you dont pay that, they take your paid for house.. lol.. but keep chasing that carrot.

Re: How to have a home with no house payments and no utility bills!
property prices and property tax
varies wildly from state to state.
Cheapest of both I know of are the
eastern oklahoma counties.
And property without powerlines
passing nearby should be the cheapest.

Running a ref , etc off of propane is not a long term solution. What if propane were no longer available?

I would set soemthing like that up to ALWAYS be able to function without any type of services from any utility co.

several years ago I was looking online at a cabin on top of a mountain in WV. Property tax's were $17 for 6 months. I emailed the real estate agent and she confirmed it. $34 a year property tax's. I decided against it. The cabin was to big. High ladder work on the sides. I'm to old for that crap....

years ago I saw a story about the poor rural Chinese who used methane generated from their own sewage as a source of fuel to run all sorts of equipment and to cook with. They somehow ran pipes into the sewage pit that naturally creates methane and used the gas..

Quite brilliant if you ask me. No methane build up, and kill 2 birds with one stone.

If people were truly free to own their land, then we could do this.

Sadly, the government would put many in jail who dare to try this. tissue

To have a well & septic system you have to have at least 3 acres. Locate in a state where there's no property taxes and you will eliminate that small yearly fee.

Re: How to have a home with no house payments and no utility bills!
There's a way to get around zoning laws in Indiana if you know the secret. It's call the Log Cabin Law. You or a volunteer have to do 65% of the work. You can easily find this law by typing in either Indiana Log Cabin Law or Indiana Log Cabin Rule. Not going to say which county, but my mom worked for the county planning commission for 39 years. They try to find ways to get around this law. Sometimes the electric company will refuse to hook you up without a permit, but if you plan on being completely off the grid then there's no problem.

The bigger the house, the more useless shit you have to buy to fill it. We used to live in a large house and I don't ever want another one. You spend too much time taking care of it, when you could be spending that time outdoors gardening, etc.
