I want to find a property and build my own small home (at first) and then just keep adding on as I get more money. I even want to try using solar power and getting off the grid and I saw some of these videos on YT about solar cabins and while it’s quite small I think it would be cool just for something to start with then you can add on later.

http://www.youtube.com/user/solarcabin is the channel and you can see a picture of a nice little starter cabin this man built for only like $5,000 (with internet access I can attend school online and continue working part time as a tutor)

Ok, imagine I found a property like this:

What things do I need to know before I go spending my savings on a property somewhere that I’ve never been?
