BOL/Retreat Location lessons learned

[mindfold]

I just sold a house I had been renting for 5 years. We want to put that money into a BOL. I have read a lot on what to look for and know what will fit my needs. I am looking for advice on what didn't work out. What would you have done different?

Make sure you have water rights and mineral rights. I think if you can only have one, water rights are most important.

what Irv said and I add, dont pick something to the West. Have you noticed everyone thinks they are bugging out to the mountains? ever seen the traffic headed west on a normal day/ weekend? pick something east. Plus living in the mountains is much harder than living on the flat.

There is a 40 acre lot w/ a house out by frederick for under $200k right now. Expect multiple bidding, but that area is hilly, less stormy, dry creek/running creek. Many good defensive and concealable area.

Still too close to denver.

Picking a place really is determined by what you're trying to prepare for. So what are you trying to prepare for?

Good advice if you are still in the cold war mindset and are scared of a nuke.

Of course, because the Grand Master know's all
