Getting started should be easy. Buy some land and move onto it and build a place to live. Yes, one would think…not. I think you should have a plan. Ask some questions. Visit someones off the grid home.
Let me start out by saying Hi. My name is Mark. I recently jumped into this without looking down. I have this idea for about 5 years. I started in August of ’19. The last 10 years I was buying books and looking at desert property online in Arizona. I currently live in Phoenix. In the last 10 years I had spent my 401k just trying to survive. I did not own a home anymore. I had a little money and a all wheel drive vehicle. I was working in construction and making decent money. I would save and then take some time off. During the last mini vacation, the bad and good happened. My Mom passed away. My Dad had passed years and years ago and my Stepdad just a few years ago. Mom was the stay at home mom that since I knew her only to work at maybe cleaning a neighbors house. When my sisters and I had moved out, my Mom went to school and got an Art degree. She did pretty good but wasn’t interested in promoting and marketing. She did it because she liked it. When she passed, who would have known she was a millionaire. Not my sisters or I. So, now that all the trust paperwork and everything was done, we were blessed. I now had the means to live out my dream, my Master Plan.
I was excited with money burning a whole in my pocket. What a deadly combination. I knew I needed the basics and went out and bought a ’18 Ram 4×4. Crew Cab with a Hemi. Next I needed the place, the property, the Ranch.
See what happens next in my next blog…out real soon
