No ex-wives, kids, etc (i.e. no baggage) so my needs are more minimal than most; a good feeling in an economy that's about to implode, and when most need $50k plus to get by.<br /><br />Any thoughts on how to obtain GPS coordinates on a parcel, so as to look at it on google earth?

I'll put it this way- if he wanted to borrow money from me, I'd loan it to him without thought of if I'm getting paid back, only of if I could afford to part with the amount for a time. Good choice on casual employ- the good paying jobs can't last here forever- already the mines are on hiring freeze and some contractors are in trouble.

Your recommended guy, Kent Taylor, "Char The Explorer", etc. <br /><br />I ran the idea by my brother the other day, and he insisted that it was a foolish move, because I wouldn't be buffered from others with enough land. While I agree, and would hate to have others living in close proximity, my options are pretty much running out, and the less than ideal situation will have to do. His suggestion? Get a decent paying job and finance a higher priced and larger parcel of land for a longer term (eye roll). Not gonna happen, even if I could find a decent job. I'm too tired to work like a dog for too many more years, and the casual employment option is sounding better and better by the day.<br /><br />Have you had some good transactions with your real estate guy? Do you think I'm better off getting a local realtor? I'd rather avoid the 8 hour trip if possible, but fear that I'll regret it if I do? But it adds considerably to the cost of land for a soon to be unemployed guy. There's Google Earth, but it doesn't quite give the same experience.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2686829448547770092.post-73487454449161517382015-05-29T14:40:58.814-07:002015-05-29T14:40:58.814-07:00GS- I had a section all to myself, land paid off f...GS- I had a section all to myself, land paid off for like two years, THEN the idiots moved in ( this is my second lot, not the one I was living on these last seven years ), crack heads.

I'm not particularly fond of doing so, but the added cost to travel 7 hours to Elko only adds to the cost of the land that I'm trying to secure prior to my pending unemployment. Some of the parcels had coordinates, so I can check them out on Google Earth, which makes me feel a little better about doing it.<br /><br />Is your parcel in that Twin Rivers development by any chance?<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2686829448547770092.post-73987814915151304132015-05-29T11:11:45.709-07:002015-05-29T11:11:45.709-07:00I can't over emphasize the necessity to check ...I can't over emphasize the necessity to check out your immediate neighbors thoroughly BEFORE you purchase the land. Neighbors will break you if they have a mind to, and without even trying. Just because they are assholes. Your closest neighbors house could be 500' away and that seems fine until you live there awhile, then 500' seems like 5' if the neighbors are assholes. It's sort of a variation of the "more you have, the more you want" thing.ghostsniperhttp://www.upyerz.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2686829448547770092.post-28844811131627577252015-05-29T04:58:16.556-07:002015-05-29T04:58:16.556-07:00My lot is an acre.

One thought I had was living 9 months on my lot, then 3 winter months at the RV park they have right at the Ryndon exit. Although lately, no snow accumulation for the last few years. I think for $3k, an acre would be about all you'd find almost anywhere in the county. You could put down $100 on e-bay land, $100 a month, move there, then if you found something else drop the first contract and move. If you think you might want my lot, e-mail me and I can work with you on price/payments. I'm not greedy, and I'd love to have a tribal member move here. jimd303@reagan.com James M Dakinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01382139289994087931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2686829448547770092.post-22518558938846542552015-05-28T22:58:15.932-07:002015-05-28T22:58:15.932-07:00Wouldn't rule out ebay James, but not real con...Wouldn't rule out ebay James, but not real confident with it, and would prefer to buy through a realtor such as your recommended guy if possible. I was wanting between 5 to 10 acres (Ideally more for an extra buffer to guaranty seclusion) and to spend in the vicinity of around $5K plus initially, but now it seems as if my job is not going to last as long as I had initially thought? So I'm thinking I should keep the max limit at around $3k, and however much land I can get for that amount. I'd really like to get at least a couple of acres though. Saw some cheap land in Twin River Ranchos near Ryndon. <br /><br />Out of curiosity, how big is your lot? How much? Winter accessible? I still need to work unfortunately, so I'm trying to find a fine balance of seclusion, yet still within reasonable proximity to jobs.

I emailed them prior with no response? I'll head over to the Elko county building dept and check it out next. My job of 13 years is likely coming to an end within the year, and I need to acquire junk land soon. I'm a 51 year old white guy, and hear tell that my demographic is not so desirable for hire at most places anymore? <br /><br />Hope that Elko county is better? <br /><br />http://www.hcnv.us/bldg_dpt/faq.htmAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
