Buying land

[Russky2Participant 3086]

Hey fellas,

Was doing some research into land and house pricing here in Ontario. Most of the major cities like Toronto have extremely high housing prices, which I would almost certainly will never be able to afford.

Yesterday I thought, why not buy land somewhere in the country and build a house there later in life? Land outside of the city is still relatively cheap and property tax is low.

So any thoughts on this? is it worth purchasing land or is there more to the story than just doing grocery shopping for land?

It’s what I did brother in Northern BC after living in the crowded south for years.

Northern Ontario probably has lots of beautiful,untamed land up for grabs at even better prices than BC.

You’ll love the peace and quite,people are friendly and traditional.

You can plant a garden,hook up solar or wind power,
go big game hunting and fishing ect.

I would never live in overpriced,crowded,polluted,crime ridden toilets like Vancouver or Toronto.

Make sure you go far enough north though to avoid urban sprawl,it’ll catch up to you otherwise and before you know it you’re in a subdivision!

I don’t know what kind of work you do but even having the land for now till you’re ready to build is a good step.

South facing slope, electricity, waste water disposal, water resource, accessibility (road plowed?). The most important things you need to consider when looking for property.

The Power line for my property was 1/2 mile away and took allot of time and effort to gain legal easements from all the effected property owners on the road.

For a summer getaway cottage drive 2 or 3 hours into the Canadian wilderness, make your own power off a Lister diesel. Hunt, fish, and live good when you need to get away.

A house needs utilities for living comfort.

Don’t get screwed for land with encumbrances on it, like flood control, forestry cutting limitations, covenant deeds, shared assess, and a million other infringements.

Some places in Pennsylvania the mining rights were sold under the property then mining operations remove coal seams and collapse the seam behind them causing driveways and foundations to crack severely. Oh well, too bad, should have researched your deed…

It worked for me, albeit in a much warmer climate in the southern part of the continental U.S.

Society asks MGTOWs: Why are you not making more tax-slaves?

I’m looking to buy land in Halifax, since it’s cheap there. But some of the ads I’ve seen on kijiji sound a bit too good to be true. There’s an ad for 10 acres worth 15K, but it’s further away from the city. E mailed the guy, and he gave me contact info for his lawyer, by laws and said that electricity, septic and such utilities are available.

I googled the area and indeed there are houses there in the area. But what could go wrong if I do decide to buy this land?

Human population certainly isn’t decreasing, a logical person would plan for the future and buy property in cheap unpopulated places today and wait for cities to expand until they extend to your property. Buying in populated area’s is frankly for chumps or the immensely wealthy, it’s not worth it unless you’re renting it out to someone for a nice premium.
