I did tons of research and picked a county. Then I drove around and talked with realtors until I found the right one that understood what I plan To do. this guy was awesome and directly took my to my dream land. It was 6 times more land than I expected to buy, and the price was amazing. We bought it immediately.
After buying the land, I bought a $3,000 RV (needed a ton of work) but it’s home until I build my adobe home.

Bought a ton of those for the house later.
