we shouldn't make an if - then statement, because if we give him any avenue out, he will take it.

because we'd have to just donate it to the site if not, but we can't let him know we'd do this is he refused, because then he'd be bound to refuse so we'd give it all to the site instead.

Doing something is a good idea, it's just that cash is not the best idea. It's meaningful that people would want to do that, but as you mentioned there are people that will beg for money without shame from anyone, but moot historically hasn't done that even when he has had a near fanatical following before.

On the other hand, a pool of knowledge from those who hang out on a board discussing money could be valuable to him, so that's just why I suggest that it be used in a different way.

Working on it. It will get sent tomorrow as i'm too tired to write properly right now and i need to figure out how to make sure he reads it and knows i'm serious.

I'll probably write it up and make a thread on /out/ to post proof (it's a slow board that he visits and it's the proper board anyway) as well as some folks to help get his attention.

My land has minimum lot sizes so i can't just slice off a few acres and give them to him, my working idea is that i could more or less give him a lifetime sublet to a couple acres for $1. I have 6 that border a 1000 acre protected forest so a couple of those should do it.

Also the area has damn near any /out/ related stuff you could want, it's a unorganized territory about 25 miles from Canada. It might be a really good option if he got donations, more or less a place to stay and explore while he got to know the area so he could pick out a bigger place to purchase.

Local knowledge up here could easily mean the difference between $150K buying 50 acres or 500+. I paid $50k for 45 acres as well as 3 cabins and an old truck for example, knowing where to look means alot so a place for him to stay would be really helpful.

>> No.625781

>>625767
Yes, there is a directional cell antenna that links to a cell tower about 15 miles away.

And it's not charity, not really. I wouldn't be actually losing anything or giving him anything. I would be letting him use a patch of land that i would not be using anyway (it's long term timber investment land) as long as he lives or a similar period. I intend for it to go to my heirs so we are talking like 40-50 years before they would be thinking of harvesting the trees. I would just give him a $1 leas for life , 2030 years or whatever period he was OK with.

Honestly he doesn't understand rural land values, esp not up here. I could just give it to him for 4-5 years while he scouts out the area for a place of his own. Just from listing to him talk about his vacations he could afford a modest amount of acreage by skipping a couple of them, 10 acres for under $10k is not uncommon up here. We are an unorganized territory, building a cabin/shack is easy, you don't even need permits or to follow building codes. Financially he can handle it if he eventually wanted to find a place of his own after a few years, a while ago i saw 15 acres up for $7500.

This is seemingly a pretty good idea, and something that he might go for. But you probably have a big hurdle to get over to try to get him to trust you and have him realize your offer is legitimate. It's probably going to take some effort, but here's to hoping you have some luck with it.

As far as what other people want to do, if people still feel like giving back to him somehow, he might be open to some kind of direct donations to a charity of his choosing instead. I'm pretty sure that has been suggested before, but if someone was able to find out what ones he prefers, and if there was some way to keep track of the donations being given in his name, that might work out. He'd probably feel a lot more comfortable with that, and that way more people could feel like they gave back a bit.

>> No.625815

Northern Maine away from populated areas. $500 an acre is not uncommon for large lots or even small ones in remote areas. For huge lots even lower, like $250-300 an acre. That one you mentioned was a bit of an exception as it was off of a road that had power, i believe it was off of a rural route about 20 miles from Rt 95.

The thing to remember is not only are most of the lots remote they will always be remote due to land use restrictions you accept in exchange for super low taxes. Usually you can't sub divide below 40 acres and there will NEVER be utility service. Also you are limited to how much raw space you can develop, for instance i can't build more than one primary residence with up to 4000 sq feet of floor space.

But up in Aroostook and Somerset land can be very cheap, even smallish lots near towns (5-10 acres) can be cheap if you look hard enough. I have seen 5 acre lots for $4000 and those were within walking distance of a lake and road.

I actually had an idea about that. One of my problems is i want to raise some livestock (a few goats/sheep and chickens) but that means i am basically stuck there forever because i have to take care of them. However i have infinite scheduling flexibility otherwise.

So maybe i could just ask him to water and check in on them for a week or so once a year while i was out of state.

So once a year while he was around i'd send him a email/bang on his door and be like "yo moot, i'm going down south to fight alligators for a week, make sure the goats have water. Have my SKS in case a bear tries to molest the sheep"

Basically ask him to look out for the overall property once in a while which seems quite reasonable to me.

Both. A good way to start is to look around listing sites that aggregate listings then go to the sites of agencies that have something that catches your eye, the local agency will often have properties at lower prices than those on a aggregation site like landwatch. They will often also have properties that they didn't bother listing on anything other than their own site because the mark up for the larger sites finders fee makes them uneconomical.

Also up here you can often find property on local sites that have weird covenants. A common one is cheap land+2 cabins/houses with a lifetime sublet for one of the cabins+a acre of land, that sublet and acre being the old guy/couple who are selling the place. You can find alot of those on craigs list. Don't try to find land then get money to take advantage of a deal, have the money ready for when a deal pops up.

I got mine by finding it for $65K on Cabela's (yes the outfitting store they do real estate ) then going directly to the local agency and talking them down to $50k. Paying in cash is VERY useful, you can cut 15-20% of the price that way.

>a lifetime sublet for one of the cabins+a acre of land, that sublet and acre being the old guy/couple who are selling the place.
does that shit extend to their next of kin or is it only valid while they stay alive? if it's the latter it's really not a bad deal since they can help you watch over the land and eventually they'll die so you'll have full control over the land.

>> No.625883

>>625869
The latter, you get it when they die. It is becoming common everywhere not just rural areas.

Usually it's a old person or couple who want to keep the place but can't stay there year round so they live with relatives or at a boarding house in the winter and come back in the summer. Or it might be a old person with no heirs who wants to spend their investment, it is much better for them than a reverse mortgage because they get all the cash up front with no strings and no property tax to worry about. If you think about it it really is an almost ideal value for both parties in terms of financial gain both long and short term.

well thanks for the responses. i was always interested in maine as a possible spot to buy a plot of land as it's not as well known as the rocky mountain/northwest region, but has a similar climate.

also, could you recommend any particularly good locations in the state? somewhere where drug abuse or crime isn't a problem, close to good fishing areas, and so on.

>> No.625920

>>625893
As to drug abuse and crime: It is literally the safest state in the union. The entire state had 63 vehicle thefts, that includes boats, ATVs and snowmobiles. Aroostock has a modest problem with backwoods methlabs in a few isolated areas but those folks stick to themselves for obvious reasons. Pretty much anything north of Augusta is a good place to look.

What you want to look at are townships and plantations. These are "unorganized territories" which are exactly what they sound like.They have no local or county government and no municipal codes, fees or takes. My property tax on 50K is $216 a year. You also don't need to follow building code for log or timber framed building if you make them yourself or even get a permit if they are under 750 sq feet. I live in Upper Enchanted Township and i am the only registered voter there in 70sq miles.

Basically you want Aroostock, Somerset, Washington, Penobscot and Piscataquis County but there are deals almost everywhere but the far south which can go die in a fire so we can dump their useless, charred AIDS ridden corpses back over the Massachusetts border as a warning to those scum to stay the hell out of our state.

I am quite serious about giving moot a cabin in exchange for anything he wants so as to make it not a hand out. Hell, i'll charge him "hang out for me with a hour get a cabin for a month" or "feed my goats for a week" if thats the rates he wants.

He seems like a pretty cool guy and i've spent 10 years on his site, i own alot of land near places that he would like to explore and i'd like to offer that to him. It costs me nothing and having him as a friend would be pretty cool.
