“We checked with the county first, made an offer, and we’re closing next month. John’s system for buying works.”
This is exactly why the 4-Step Off-Grid Land System starts with the county first.

Shelter Provides stability. It protects you and supports everything else.
Water Supports all life. It feeds your garden, your animals, and every system downstream.
Food Reduces dependency. Even a small amount lowers costs and builds resilience.
Power Supports the work. It is not always first, but it makes everything easier.
Income Reduces pressure. It gives you flexibility and better long-term options.
