I need some help/advice

Post new topic

Phillyman

I want to finish my cabin build. I have 4 acres in Bullet Tree…. Beautiful view. The shell is up. It’s an attractive structure. I’ve run out of money and have been stagnant on this project for some time now. I’m ready to go there and work on the property and I have an older friend willing to help. I need to find a contractor near bullet tree and maybe someone who can check on the property. I’ve been feeling overwhelmed by the idea of selling but it’s currently on the market. I’m a single father and really wanted to take my 10 year old twins there one day to show them something different.

Any advice?

I was thinking of a group investment approach. Maybe some folks want to assist and donate to the build in exchange for occupancy credit. It was suggested by someone I found on IG who lives in Punta Gorda, thought it was interesting. Maybe I should just sell it and buy some Bitcoin and Eth. Where are my old friends on here? It’s K from Philly currently living / farming in New Hope PA / Lambertville NJ area.

Phillyman, I'm in Bullet Tree frequently, and just had a recommendation of this contractor:

RLC Construction
pleasefixit29@gmail.com
615-9179

Also, a new property management/realty company:

Valley West
Wynand J. Koegelenberg
664-4966

From what I know of both, reliable and honest.

Good luck with it. Looks like a lot of people moving into the area, and a lot of options available. Hate to see you give it up!

Ah thanks so much. I’m going to keep moving forward for now. I’ll look into these two recommendations. I’m so looking forward to getting more familiar w the area. Peace.

Hi, I’m all the way in the north of the country I’m sorry I’m unable to offer any help at all from my end, but just wanted to let you know rooting for you. Admirable what your trying to set up for your kids.
Have you considered moving down here and doing it up yourself? Outsourcing to contractors will cost you a unnecessary amount of money. If the bulk of the work is done then surely you can do the rest yourself. Wer building our own right now, it’s hard and takes time but Wer saving heaps! Happy to advice and share whatever we can with you. If your on insta check us out @decentralised_life or the blog is
Best of luck, hopefully you won’t give up & something will open up for you.

First I want to say thank you to all four of you, the family. Thanks for doing it because it creates the synergy of life now. It means a lot to have people in don’t know personally encourage me. If I didn’t feel I needed it trust me I would not ask or post my issues as I’m a private scorpio type of man.

I love your brand, if I may call it that, on IG. I began following you. I’m @gathered_greens. I’m
Headed to Belize w a friend in August. He is an older farmer and mentors me on many things I’ve wanted to do since I was younger such as growing food, hunting  and building. I’m mostly into growing food / permaculture, also off grid living / alternative building. We will be in Belize for two weeks to move my project forward. I have a feeling if I don’t sell the property I will return to complete or at least work toward it. I know it takes time. Where else do you have land? I was thinking of Mexico and also Brazil! Ghana is on my mind as well. Anyway… thank you so much for the encouragement! Are supplies more expensive since the pandemic? Any thing we should be aware of in terms of building ? My cabin is up but I haven’t seen it yet because just as it was being built the lockdown occurred. It’s a decent looking shell. We plan to camp out on my 4 acres and work. Very excited! My property is on the market and I just received an offer that is basically what I was asking. I will decline and take it off the market. I deserve to climb the stairs of my humble cabin and see the view before I make any decisions like that. 🙏🏿 Can we keep it touch via messaging? Maybe we can visit your place or vice versa when we get there.

@Phillyman don't give up.  What kind of work needs to be done??  Where in Bullet Tree is your property.  I may be able to get you a contractor n CK on your property.  But if you have land you should claim n build upon it Especially if you have children.  It's a much better place to raise them then the US.

Hi Nzinga,

My property is in the new extension area of Bullet Tree village … I would like to keep it yes. Thank you for your response.
