We've had a fair amount of interest generated from our call out for co-buyers for land. We are in the process of creating a mailing group to ease the communications and keep everyone easily updated and in touch. Our near future plans include a trip through Vancouver Island and out to the Kootenays throughout the month of May. Are you on our way? Would you like to get together, do you have land in mind that we should stop to see? Do you have a place for us to pitch a tent for a night or two? We will post more info about our trip plans/dates soon.
A few questions that seem to come up for most everyone in this process revolve around the basic practicalities- time frame, finances, personal land size requirements, lifestyle intentions. If you are writing to us, please share some information about yourself, including answers to the above questions.
Some things that we would like to clarify:
We are most interested in buying a piece of land with another party to whom the land would also be new, rather than buying into an existing land title, although with the right situation/people this is something we would consider.
We are inclined towards building our own home. Personally, we are seeking land without an existing home, however if other interested parties would prefer a built home and have the finances for that portion of the purchase, thats fine with us.
We are hoping to buy land sooner than later. This summer would be ideal. We could wait longer, but we're ready now. We're really interested in finding people with a similar timeframe.
We are currently located on Protection Island, in the harbour of Nanaimo on Vancouver Island. We would love to get together with anyone who would like to talk more in person.
We welcome all enquiries, thoughts and suggestions, as well as guests! Please email us at girokincanada [at] gmail.com
