Why The Country Homestead Course Was Created

Since moving from Tennessee to Idaho years ago, I have heard from and met numerous buyers of Country or Homestead Property that made costly mistakes in searching for, evaluating and purchasing what they sincerely hoped would be their dream place to live and raise their family or spend their golden years.

Some of the stories have been heartbreaking, others have been tragic, but all have involved something those buyers did not know to look for or avoid. I can sum up the mistakes, pitfalls, and problems by the saying, “You don’t know what you don’t know and what you don’t know can, and usually will, hurt you when looking for, evaluating and purchasing Country or Homestead Property.”

One of the saddest laments I have heard is “I did not know everything that was important so I could not even google that query.” That lament is commonly followed by “If only I had known.” Therein lies the problem. All of us only know what we know and many times it is what we don’t know that hurts us.

Before enrolling in Law School I took several courses in Real Estate. Some courses were in Real Estate Investing, some were in Owner Financing Real Property Purchases and others were in Evaluating The Suitability of Real Property for what ever it was you had in mind to use that property for. I thought I was pretty smart when it came to Real Property issues. Then I went to Law School.

In Law School I took every course there was that was about Real Property, Financing Real Property and any other course that the course description seemed to indicate that course was related in some way to real property. It was amazing how much I was not taught in all those courses I took before entering Law School! You see, I learned that I did not know what I did not know. Now with Law School behind me I felt I was finally knowledgeable when it came to buying Country or Homestead Property.

Then I started looking for Rural Property. Boy was I surprised! With each property I looked at and each Realtor I dealt with I learned something I did not know.

For 4 years I taught Buying Country Property at Sustainable Preparedness Expos in the Pacific Northwest, in Idaho, Oregon and Washington. At the close of those presentations there was typically a long line of people who would wait for over an hour to ask me their questions. From their experiences and mis-experiences I learned even more, many times about things that I had no idea existed.

From all the courses I took before and during Law School, from all my real experience and from all the experiences and problems others told me about was born this course, The Country Homestead Buyer’s Course.

I have made every effort I know how to make to give you the best chance to intelligently search for, evaluate and purchase Country or Homestead Property. I trust that when you finish this course you will feel that “Now I know what I did not know so what I did not know will not hurt me.”

Here's what one of our students has to say about our course:

I thought I had a good knowledge of what was needed and what to check for prior to purchasing country or homestead property. I decided to take John Brownlee's course when I saw it on the website. The price gave me second thoughts but after I went through the course I feel as if it was some of the best value for my money of any of the online courses that I have taken. He not only lectures in the audios but the course provides PDF's of each lesson module which I have printed out for use when looking at properties and dealing with realtors. This course can save you Money and Grief!

The Country Homestead Buyer’s Course costs $349. This gives you the complete course as an instant download for you to keep, forever.

There are a total of 12 Lesson Modules containing a total of 38 videos with over 14 hours of watch time plus 302 pages of lesson outlines and additional material in the Country Homestead Buyer’s Course.

The Buyer’s Course is packed with lots of vital information, but that’s not all! We have added lots of bonuses to go with the course.

There are 4 bonus videos with just under two hours of viewing time plus 11 bonus documents with 37 total pages that discuss everything from how to rate country or homestead property quickly and easily to evaluating wells, how to compare properties, lessons we have learned, and how to be protected from wildfires and so much more!

We could have easily charged much more for this course without all it’s bonuses but we didn’t. Most other courses like this (if there was one) would cost a whole lot more because of all the pertinent information contained in the course.

Module 12 (The Sales Contract) alone is worth the price of the course. Our desire was to keep the course at an affordable cost to make it possible for you to obtain this valuable information that will teach you step by step in your search for your dream country or homestead property.

It certainly can save you thousands of dollars but that will all depend on how your search for property goes. Each property is different and each state is different so there will be a difference in just how much money you can save by taking this course.

We can’t guarantee any certain amount of savings. What we can guarantee is that you will avoid many of the pitfalls that most people fall into when searching for and purchasing their properties.

We can help you to steer away from many of the headaches people get when they jump into their purchases without knowing exactly what they are doing.

The saying is true, “You really don’t know what you don’t know” when it comes to finding your dream home in the country.

It is definitely better to purchase the course before you start your search! There is so much information to go through to prepare you for when you start your property search.

Those who purchase the course before starting their search are in the best position to save the most money and avoid the potential problems that can accompany buying rural property.

However, if you are already involved in searching for property, buying this course can still save you thousands of dollars and much headache and heartache when buying country property.

Going through all the modules in the course will give you all the information you will need to help you prevent the many difficulties and complications that can occur when purchasing a home.

Having all the knowledge this course has will empower you to find that perfect piece of property or home that you have been desiring but without the many pitfalls and problems that can happen if you are not well prepared.

No. How successful you are in finding, evaluating and purchasing property will depend upon how you apply the concepts taught in the course.

While we do our best to provide you with the best education for your property search, we can’t guarantee you will find the perfect property.

“Country Homestead Buyer’s Course” is not a guarantee of success – especially not in any particular time-frame. Your success will be determined by how well you apply the principles we teach.

You bet! Even though most of the material is based on property in the United States, there is a lot of information that can be adapted to the country in which you are looking for property to purchase.

The basic principles taught in the course for evaluating property that is not located in a city has universal application.

The Country Homestead Buyer’s Course is not designed to be an individual mentorship. However, there is an email address that is available to all course members for the first 6 months from the purchase date of the course. Anytime you have questions, simply get in touch with John by email.

John will be happy to help you with your questions. We care very much about our students. We aren’t one of those online courses where you get ditched the instant they get your money.

John has been known to go way beyond the call of duty to help individuals, but you shouldn’t expect a private mentorship in the course. An emailed question directly to him during the first 6 months is the very next best way to being an individual mentorship.

Wouldn't finding your country home be more likely to be successful by putting John's knowledge and experience to work for you ?
