Hello William, I'm sorry you have had such a hard time. Are you familiar with landwatch.com? They have a lot of vacant land listings around the US and many different sellers list on their site. If you keep an eye out, I'm sure you can find a lot and seller that meet your requirements.

I enjoy your content and I think you're providing a great service here. Some ideas (if you don't mind): Script your videos. Reading from a rehearsed script will help you get your speed up and improve the pacing of your videos. My guess is this video could have been half the time with the same amount of information and would have made for even more engaged viewing. But again, I'm thankful for what you're doing!

Hello Jass, there is no set price per acre in the United States. You would have to look at sales comps for a particular county or zip code in order to determine the price in that region. You can always use a site like landwatch.com to look up sales comps.

Do you think in the country about 1.5 acres with septic tank and water already ran and also a barn on site with water electricity ran to it with storm cellar would also be enough to build a home. It’s in the country and land in the family. I don’t think there is zoning issues with septic. There is currently mobile home there but will he moved in future. Is that enough to build a 2,000 sq foot home and still have space and raise some chickens also

@GokceCapital 3 жыл бұрын

Hello Daniel, it really depends on the county zoning rules and regulations; however, the fact that there is already a well and septic on site is a really good sign!

@peggyharris7419 Жыл бұрын

My daughter has 2 1/2 acres. 1/4 of that is a pond. Then she has a big ranch house w/garage, a big Pole barn and a good size garden. She has a well and septic. So lots of yard to still mow and to play in. She has chickens and is getting goats next Spring. 1 1/2 acre is more than enough to build a house. You just have to make sure it’s far enough away from the septic.

I just bought my first piece of vacant land and I would like to turn it into a campsite and fill it with yurts. But I am not sure how to maximize my profitability. Should I put multiple campsites on 1 acre or 1 20 foot yurt on each acre and just buy more land?

@customchoppers8824 3 жыл бұрын

A video on the subject would be awesome

@GokceCapital 3 жыл бұрын

If you haven't done so already, I would first check with the county to see what is allowed. It may not be possible to have multiple (or any) campsites on 1 acre. Once you know what is allowed per county building and zoning regulations, you can then run a project pro forma to see what the most profitable option is.

How many house can you build on 5 acre

@GokceCapital 3 жыл бұрын

That really depends on local zoning regulations as well as how much land each landowner will want as part of their property. The average amount of land a new home requires in new subdivisions is ~.2 acres, so that would theoretically be 25 homes on 5 acres. However, this would again need to be in compliance with all local zoning and subdivision regulations. You can also find more information on our blog post here: gokcecapital.com/how-big-is-an-acre/

How can you say that the only reason to buy an acre is just to have a septic tank and extra land but not suitable for ranch animals. Sorry but thats a big misconception.
