RE: How I went from rags to riches - leaving the rat race behind

in #life7 years ago

Cool. I just followed you. Its always good to meet fellow homesteaders. Especially from Michigan :)

Looks like you have some very good ideas. Some advice though. It seems that if you write a lot more on each article, you will do much better on steem.

The idea is to create good content and it will get up voted by people who like it.

I think you are off to a very good start though.

Hope you dont take offence at my advice since you have been on here longer.

Why is your homestead temporary?

Sort:  

Thanks for the advice. I'll definitely take the advice and put more into my posts. This place is temporary because I rent this house here, to much in a rural area for what I'm looking to do. I can't get animals here because of city ordinances and I know if something happens they will go after the home owner and not me so I won't be able to fight them on it. So I'll be looking for a place where that should not be an issue. Right now I have a problem getting my credit score where it needs to be to qualify for a loan. With a family that ain't on board with my direction, hopes and dreams I unfortunately will have to take out a huge loan and provide a home for them. Hoping and praying that by spring we can find a house with some land and get started with animals, gardens, food forest and permaculture ideas that I've been studying on the past two years through others on YouTube. Thanks for following along. What part of Michigan are you in? I'm on the west side of Macomb county now looking to move across to the far north east side of Macomb County.

I hope you succeed here then. There is potential to make money here if you work hard at it.

We are in Lewiston, my wife, little baby, and I. Way up North. We have 18 acres of land now out in the country. Clean and peaceful here.

I also never had credit so I was originally buying land in New York on a land contract. Ask your local realtor about that. Study online first tho because many realtors dont know about it.

Basically though you buy directly from the owner. No banks. No credit checks. Just a notarized and registered contract between two parties.
