this is a low-risk business that could make you thousands of dollars a month all from a piece of land have you ever wanted your own little slice of land like a place you can escape to when the world gets a bit too chaotic but earn from when you're not there then this video is for you like me you're probably assuming that to own a bunch of land you'd need to spend hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars but what if that's not true what if for just a few thousand and some creative financing you
could buy some land earn a significant amount of cash and even get others to help pay for it well that's exactly what we're going to figure out if it's possible today and it turns out my friend Kate did it so this is Kate Kate bought a piece of land for campers to visit near Joshua tree for $10,000 which I thought was wildly cheap and then with platforms like hip Camp she turned it into a very low maintenance business at least to start in her first 90 days she was already making 1,500 bucks a month but
was about to earn a lot more I was inspired by Kate so I thought hm let me copy it and I bought a piece of land in Oklahoma you actually would probably love my other video I did with Kate but the thing is in 2024 the market is just different than when Kate started her business so the way she did it then isn't going to work now so today I'm going to break down the seven best ways to cash flow on land and if you want to make some money while owning a little bit of
dirt this video is for you make sure you subscribe because we're going to have way more like this coming your way I think a whole lot more people are capable of doing this than they realize maybe you're one of those people you've got got your land your plants and maybe a little bit of a vision I was like you and I'm about to tell you all about exactly how I'm doing it but maybe you're thinking of the Thousand other reasons why now might not be the right time for land the good news is there's another

time to do this 24 trillion dollars in farming assets barns equipment is going to transfer hands over the next 20 years the average age of the American Farmer is 60 they're tired retiring can't run their businesses anymore sure some of them are going to pass it on to their children in a trust but not all of them have kids or their kids don't want to inherent the farmlands I know quite a few like that and it's a lot better in the future for you and me and everyday people to buy this Farmland as opposed to
Big corporations and private equity and foreign entities so you might be able to get a great deal because some of these farmlands have debt they're just trying to figure out a way to ride out the rest of their lives and move on so if you've ever wanted land I don't know now might be the time I bought a piece of land UH 60 Acres for $292,000 I put down 10% for that land and have a mortgage of about 1,900 bucks a month it's called a land loan now the interesting part is I think more people
can do the same thing and why would you want to invest in Farmland you got tax deductions for example in Texas if you have six cows you can have an agricultural tax credit I think many of the smartest people in the world are investing in land Bill Gates your boy owns a ton of it 242,000 Acres of Farmland 27,000 Acres of other land and so from the cheapest but smallest return to the biggest investment but bigger return there's options the question though is if we're not all as rich as Bill Gates how can we own
land and make it cash flow for us I got seven ideas that I'm going to actually start from the cheapest and also they make the least money to the biggest and it makes the most money let's do this number one using land for hunting this is a deer tracks for city Folk okay pretty passive lease rates according to Oklahoma one of the places we own land for a Shooters Forum the growing rate a few years ago was around $10 an acre but more recently lease Brokers have been asking $300 an acre here's how you might
calculate this let's assume you have 100 acres of uh huntable land at 10 bucks an acre 100 acres X10 equals 1,000 per year there's lots of different lease types you can do hunting leases we're talking about which basically means by the way a hunting lease is where you allow people to go on private land and hunt Ducks hunt deer coyotes there's all different things you can allow them to do for deer and duck hunting that means you could have hunters there for two different seasons so 1,500 time 2 let's say these year-long leases are common
in Oklahoma and can give you a little bit of income without really much management you can also do day leases as an option you make way more money but you got to manage it more all right how would you change the price on this location so if you have a place that's known for big deer you're going to be able to charge way more if you have deer plus turkey plus Quail plus waterfall AKA you're going to be able to ask for more if you have amenities and places they can stay more also for instance
on mine uh we have a water supply there so I want to do hunting fishing camping to increase the value if I can also build a lodging or amenities then I can charge more overall here's a real example 320 acres in Woodward County Oklahoma brings in 4,200 per year for Hunter maximum now that's not going to be enough to allow you to buy the property but that's just one stream let's start layering all right number two egg farming egg prices have you noticed they are up so I think you could take advantage of this trend
especially if you live by your property egg prices increased 86% since the beginning of 2024 reaching $3 per dozen so your operation if you were going to have 500 hens probably 15K chicken Coupe for a medium-size operation 5k Every chicken cost you 5 to 15 bucks to breed and age and then you're going to be charging yourself 500 to 1,000 per month to feed 500 pens you also got a bunch of equipment feeders Waters nexting boxes somewhere around 20K for the first month assuming each hen lays 200 to 300 eggs per year and you have
500 hens that means you could produce 125,000 eggs per year which means at a price of let's say two bucks per dozen you could be making 20,000 per year now this is a big operation and I probably wouldn't go that crazy but I probably would have a small chicken operation on top of it next my hunting lease next to a few other things that I'm going to show you and I'd sell them at a farmers's market for a higher price plus chickens are rad I'd also think about allowing somebody else to do it so maybe
I'm going to check out and see if somebody wants to Outsource my land for chicken operating I'll report back let me know in the comments if you want to see that equipment rental and storage unused land can turn into profitable Storage facilities so you can rent out space for the the storage of agricultural Machinery or other things so if you think about this farmers need seasonal storage and having a local affordable option way more attractive let's break this down you could potentially charge 50 to 200 bucks per month per piece of equipment depending on size
and demand this is checking in the local area let's assume you have 5,000 ft of storage space available which really just means it's flat you could charge an average of 100 per month per equipment piece and you can store 50 pieces of equipment 100 S ft per piece roughly that means with 50x 100 that's 5,000 bucks a month equaling $60,000 a year in Revenue just 5,000 time 12 little asteris if you wanted to get crazy with it one of my richest friends I knew growing back up his name was Robert and he ran an equipment
rental leasing company and so basically he leased out the equipment as opposed to just storing it he let people borrow it well that means that you could charge 500 to 200 bucks per day per piece of equipment so it really depends on where your land's located but that's another thing I might add all right so we got chickens we got deer we got equipment what's next the obvious one of course goat farming how to start well goat farms are places where Farmers breed and raise domestic goats goats are raised primarily for their milk sometimes they're
meat sorry guys but you can expect to spend about 100 to 800 for registering breed stock with the registered female dough to bring in top dollar you may pay I don't know 1,200 for a milking goat such as a Nubian or for a meat producer Dill so you got to start with a couple thousand you'll need a mail buck and several Do's you can also purchase pregnant goats you'll need a barn or a shed and some goat proof fencing you won't need need a lawn mower though because these things eat everything you'll also have to
feed them if you don't have a ton of grass available for them especially during the winter season so let's say also that you might have to have some milking equipment about 1,500 bucks now how could you make money for goats well breed and sell the goats we actually did a whole video on this if you want to see about a goat lady that did just that you can also sell them milk goat milk is something that people drink especially here in Texas you can also rent the goats out for clearing and land you can actually
have the goats sheared two times a year wash and eventually spin it into high quality yarn you could also sell products like soap goat milk soap shampoo Etc all right let's break down the numbers here in Oklahoma if we bought 15 of these types of goats the initial investment could be 15,000 that would cover the the cost of goats basic infrastructure and initial feed supplies annual cost would be like let's call it 900 bucks per goat times 15 goats equals 13,500 although those babies they figure out how to breed they like it they keep going
other operational expenses about 5k annual revenue well milk sales a gallon per day x 305 days x 15 goats equals 4575 gallons and you can see the math right here let's break this down real quickly plus we've got soap and cheese sales which might mean that we have an annual revenue of about 45k the profit I don't know probably closer to 15 to 20K but we've got goats on hand and if you want to you can do goat yoga cuz apparently that's a thing too and we have that video as well next we've got an
orchard well okay we've got a lot of work to do on Orchard but I'm going to explain that next Oklahoma is known for its peaches here's why I like this option most of the work is in the beginning so planting irrigating fencing pruning but once the foundation is laid you have an asset for decades my friend Isaac actually did this live and I have the numbers from him tree saplings cost 10 to 20 bucks for each if you start with a a small one for an orchard of 5 Acres you might plant about 500 trees
that'll cost you anywhere from 5,000 to 10,000 equipment you'll need irrigation tractors sprayers harvesting equipment a basic setup might cost 20,000 this is including soil preparation fencing fertilizers budget I don't know 5K for this total investment approximately 30,000 now not including though the human labor so my friend Isaac did this breakdown exactly turned a Barren land into a beautiful Orchard and and this Orchard that he created cost him about 75,000 in a few months he also bought older trees which is smart because then it's established so it looks like when we look around apple orchards
and Peach Orchards make about 60,000 per year once established just selling the fruit now since Oklahoma is known for peaches you could look at this company right here as a case study I'd probably give them a call I'm going to to and figure out how their business model works now Isaac that I told you about he got the land similar process to me and designed an orchard for Max biodiversity choosing every fruit the Texas climate could support 50 different varieties and subvarieties January 2023 they put in 207 tiny saplings in the ground just 18in sticks
that didn't look like much by the end of the first year they tripled in size this January 2024 they pruned a good 50% of each tree to make the trees stronger but since then they tripled in size again so now they're thriving they're structured and balanced and bearing their first fruits and they have grapes too which I didn't really think in Texas these trees should produce for 20 or 50 years so this is the long game for this one obviously not something you're going to make money on up front all right next we've got barndominium
old one we're going to fix it up so on my land that I bought they already had the spare parts for a barn dominium and so we bought a l piece of land and actually got this Barn minum with it and I think this could be a business in and of itself my friend actually found himself in exactly the same situation this is again Isaac he found an old abandoned farm for sale for 1,300 bucks an acre all included but hidden within was this timber frame Barn that wasn't looking so great at the time but
look what it looks like now now they've turned it into an amazing venue with even better cash flow just with the help of some friends they transform this into this they named the place Morning Glory Farm after the wild flowers Banting the long driveway and now compes rent out the barn for weddings and so for my land after doing some research it looks like wedding venues in Oklahoma typically charged between 3K to 8K or more but let's not get crazy per event depending on what they offer since this has a barn and maybe a bunch
of hay bales and some cool fireplaces it would be on the upper side of this so let's go like this bridal shower rentals potentially 150 for 2 hours if booked with a wedding then maybe you have an engagement photo shoot other types of events during Peak Seasons like corporate Retreats and I also think it's reasonable that my bar dominium can host 20 to 30 weddings per year with an average of 5K per event that would generate 100 to 150k in Revenue now I don't know exactly on profits on that the average wedding industry and company
says that they make about a 30% profit margin so we probably make 30% of 150k and finally automate vacation rental properties Isaac my friend does it for $2,000 a month and automates his whole business his his thing is crazy smart lighting door locks noise sensors thermostats when building each of his seven cabins so anytime a guest is checking in a unique door code populates in the automated checkin instructions message they they receive only valid intros for the rest of their reservations so they can't get in unless it's their time so he created all these automations
which means that he doesn't have to run his seven cabin thing very much his friend charges him 150 bucks a week to monitor messaging and to make sure anything that goes sideways at the place she takes care of he also has somebody that helps him with maintenance they stop by the property a couple of times during the month and check on things water the plants receive deliveries Small Things Isaac pays him about 200 bucks a week his cleaner has access to his project management system and Isaac pays her 95 to 150 bucks a cleaning and
sends her a venmo each week this then covers almost everything besides website and booking which are optimized to answer guest questions and make Isaac not have to answer all of it so in my future State I want to have a bunch of cabins that are just like Isaac's on my property too so you can have your chicken Coupe next to your hunting license next to your wedding venue and then a bunch of small cabins that I would probably use from a guy like Bob where we can break down exactly how much money it would cost
you to add one of Bobs all this adds up to maybe costing you 25k a year for management costs and then I think the upside for this is several $100,000 a year now I haven't done all of this yet besides buy the place and the barn dominium do you guys want me to cover all of this as I do it live let me know in the comments I think in a world that's getting more complex having a piece of land to escape to it's maybe important the United States has 2.4 billion Acres of Landscapes waiting
to be explored and I think there's a real sense of America out here so it's not just about making money it's about leaving a legacy behind and having something you can touch and maybe just getting a little dirt underneath your finger trips I think this isn't just a business it's a chance for us to create something lasting if you guys liked this video let me know and we can break down maybe how more of us can own our land instead of China
