Buying and developing a piece of land - Part 1 : Cutting in a driveway

Still waiting for part 2 mate :(

Looking forward to this series, always wanted to see someone starting from scratch on a property.

That land was definitely cleared back in the 1830s. The stone walls are a dead giveaway. You would remove all the stones from your fields and stack them in walls or sometimes just big rock piles. It was either farm fields or pasture most likely. Crazy how nature takes back over so fast.

Those upright square columns are the corner stones of the grave yard. They would make up a rectangle, 3 of them are still upright and the fourth is leaning down, but sill in the earth. So all of that land was probably cleared at one point which makes sense since the remnants of a stone wall and house foundation are still very visible.

When I was a youngster...I would listen to stories told by old men while they would be talking to my father..! My father drove truck, as did some of those others. They talked about how they had bought random properties within their travels. Then, years later, during the convention, tell how small their investments was, had paid off by big companies/ housing communities wanting, needing the property to build...! So, I made a decision too, when I got older to be able to buy. I too starting buying random properties. In what were places that were are still having growth. Now mind you, this is not for myself, (I am now 66 years old), I was doing this for my son and my grandson, to own after I died for their futures. Well, I lost my son to a tragic crime, so it is now my grandsons. So, I have been trying to set him up, he's now 21 years old. To not have to go through the struggles that most at his age are facing with housing, financial struggles that I even suffered while young, wondering where they will be living, should they loss a job. All someone needs to do is pay the property taxes and you have a place to "be"..! I am hoping in the coming 20 years he too is able to profit...from the gift I am giving him...or at the every least live more stress free. Land does not evaporate...it is constant...and can not be taken away as long as the taxes are paid..."invest" people...God Bless America" and your right to own more that a phone or a car...!

A very smart move on your part Jesse, looking forward to more videos on your progress towards a speck house and your parent's property across the road.

I'm looking forward to seeing this story unfold. Thanks for letting us see a part of your journey.

Congratulatons Jesse on your land. I love all you videos... Please show all you can. Glad to see you doing well.

Looking at getting some land cleared myself and been debating on hiring out or renting equipment. Both are quite expensive, but doing it myself with equipment could be fun. Great to see these type of videos to get an idea of what's involved.

Jesse, I thoroughly enjoy everything you post. All of your videos are highly entertaining, and I absolutely love seeing your boys, and watching them grow. You post it....I'll watch it! I am a loyal fan here. I hope the work will continue on your house. I'm so looking forward to you and your family living there! Take care, and always be safe.

Good to see you working your new property, Jesse. You are one smart and talented young man. Great to see the family and how much the kids have grown! Love your videos, enjoying them from The Lone Star State.

Thank you Jesse, I really enjoy watching your videos. I would love to do what you're doing. It gives me drive for my life even though I will never likely walk your path. Keep showing people what work REALLY is. You are providing wisdom to the masses. Planning for the future is something many kids of today (and yesterday) have not even considered.
