8 Things You Need to Know When Buying Homestead Property

There’s a big movement happening right now with people who are looking to leave the city life behind and make the leap to the country but making the move too quickly without the proper planning and due diligence, can spell big problems for first-time homesteaders.  

In this episode, Carolyn and Josh walk through the 8 essential things you need to look for when buying a homestead property. What are the deal-breakers and contingencies you need to consider before you commit to buying and how do you choose a property that will cater to your long-term needs and set you up for success and not regret?

In this episode: 

• Why are so many people making the move from the city to the country and how is this affecting the real estate market? 
• What are the deal-breakers and negotiation points you need to consider when looking at a property?
• How choosing the wrong property can lead to a lot of unexpected costs and time away from actual homesteading. 
• How to slow down and methodically choose the right place that fits your long-term needs, rather than reacting too quickly. 
• How they wrapped up another successful county fair with some first-time wins. 
• What are some of the practical uses for sheep, what types of breeds do they have and how hard are they to actually care for?

If you have a gluten sensitivity, this is for you! When one of my kids got serious food restrictions I made it my mission to bake gluten free bread, muffins, cinnamon rolls and more that tasted just as good (if not better than) my original recipes. I put it all into my book, the Art of Gluten Free Homemade Bread, and we have a few physical copies left right now! Grab yours today.
