If you're renting now and.can work remotely or are retired, buy a decent used RV (motorhomes, 5th wheel or travel trailer) and hit the road. Did it 2 years ago and never looked back. Being mobile has great advantages.
You should see all the RV youtubes I've been watching lol.
I just don't know if that's the right choice though for me.
Cheap living in the most beautiful areas. It's a grand life. Right now I'm backed up to a river in the Ozarks, 15 minutes from a decent size town. All hook ups with wifi... $600/mo. When I get sick of it I move to the next beautiful spot. Give it a go man.
I did a back-to-the-land thing in Missouri in the eighties, for a while.
The rivers are beautiful, I like the Ozarks better than the Rockies.
Man you could just stay in Missouri...Bull Shoals Lake, Lake of the Ozarks, Table Rock Lake, incredible.
Current River, Eminence River, Mark Twain National Forest, on and on. Buffalo Nat'l River.
It's getting crowded out there. Too many YouTubers making it look too good.
I think you need to have a piece of cheap empty land you can park on for the future. They are the cheapest and best designed structures you can buy for the money though even if you just park it under a tin roof somewhere.
Amazing how they can lay out a 2000 sf home in a 150 sf space.
Did you do the Dakota legal residence thing? Spend a night in a hotel there and then take advantage of their residency law allowing you to claim it as your state then travel?
It can be a bit crowded. State parks during prime season are impossible to get into unless you book out a year or so. Most have 2 week stay limits. We have been staying the summers in our home state of Minnesota. As far as residence.. We still have our home state as our residence. May change that to either Florida or South Dakota in the future. We sure love the Ozarks though. Lots of room down here.
Haven't covid travel restrictions ruined it all? How does that work now?
Covid was a beeatch at first. The covid thj g literally started the day we started this lifestyle. We got booted from 3 or 4 state parks from Florida, Alabama Mississippi and I think Arkansas. It's all good for now. Private campgrounds, especially in the "red states" have always been open.
