Buying a House in a Sellers Market – Miyagi Mornings Episode-106

The Survival Podcast Posted on by

If for any reason the above Odysee Video doesn’t play smoothly for you, the back up YouTube version is here. For years I have been telling people to get the hell out of the liberal cities. Last summer I amped it up and said DO IT NOW, GET OUT, GET OUT, GET OUT. Some did, some did not, now everyone it seems wants to. The results? Exactly what I said would happen. Homes in any state/city that did not go total crack down on CoVid have had prices go though the roof. Likewise the worst offenders on totalitarian responses to … Continue reading →

Episode-2779- The Future Belongs to Land Holders and Entrepreneurs

Historically in America who has been president or your senator, etc has meant very little in reality.   What has mattered is how well individuals have designed their lives.  The two biggest things that have enabled this for the most people are… Land Ownership (control of real property) Entrepreneurship (control of your own production of value)   In some ways the place we live is so different from the nation Americans of the early 1800s lived in that you’d think they were different worlds.  Yet the power of entrepreneurship and land ownership has remained fairly constant.  While I don’t expect that … Continue reading →

A bit over seven years ago we sold our Arkansas property, for many years before we moved there it was a second property and hence provided us with a vacation and bug out location property.  When we moved there I started looking for another property (2 is 1 and 1 is none) but never found one. As many of you know while we loved it there Dorothy (my wife for new folk) did not adjust well to being so far from family and when her dad began to decline with dementia we moved back to the Fort Worth area.  While … Continue reading →

I am gonna say it isn’t really a true buyer’s market right now, not based on the prices I see.  It is much more so than it was 18 months ago but super great deals are not everywhere, YET. Yet?  Yes yet!  They are coming and I am going to discuss why the market is always good for smart buyers all the time anyway.  That said, trust me, the recovery no matter how good it is, if it is the best one we can hope for will take time.  During that time people will need to sell, not want to, … Continue reading →

Episode-2452- Setting Up a Secondary Property (BOL)

I have gotten quite a few emails as of late about setting up remote properties, bug out locations etc.  They have ranged from people who are property hunting, to those who just acquired raw land and some with partially developed properties. Today we discuss remote land/home ownership and the unique advantages and challenges it represents. Far to many see a BOL solely as a place for when the shit has really hit the fan, like TEOTWAWKI level stuff. The reality is a BOL serves a variety of functions. In our case we haven’t had a BOL since 2011 when we … Continue reading →

Long ago I coined the term, “walking to freedom” to explain the concept of movement within a republic.  Some of the sates that seem the most oppressive such as California, New York and Illinois are east to “escape from”.  This isn’t like the days of the Soviet Block in Europe.  There is no Berlin Wall keeping you inside a shit hole like New Jersey. (and hey I was born there, I get to call it what I want)  All it takes is some planning, a U-Haul Truck and a new destination. Today we are going to discuss the concept of … Continue reading →

In case you have not be paying attention for the last 15 years, news flash, homesteading is once again very popular.  From tiny urban homesteads (sue me Dervaes family go for it!) to mid sized small acreages to properties with a “back 40” and everything in between. Why?  America and much of the modern world is starting to realize how hollow what we call “progress” really is.  They are realizing that a house that eats up 30% or more of monthly income while giving nothing back as a status symbol, doesn’t really make your life better. Our nation was founded … Continue reading →
