#227 - He Bought Land With NO Legal Access... Here's How He Fixed It
About this episode
Thomas Damren shares his journey from Marine Corps officer to tree farmer, discussing challenges and strategies in land ownership and investing.
Welcome to the land podcast, a platform for people looking to educate themselves in the world of land ownership, land investing, staying up to date with current land trends in the Midwest, and hearing from industry experts and professionals. On today's episode, we are back in the studio with Thomas Damren. We discuss: How Tom went from Marine Corps officer to full-time tree farmer. The landlocked 273-acre Maine property that five other buyers walked away from. How he negotiated deeded access with a holdout neighbor before he even had financing. Why banks won't lend on raw land the way they lend on a house. The failed tree plantings that pushed him into starting his own nursery business. Building a primitive cabin in two days with his uncle's help. Why Maine's trespassing laws make absentee land ownership a constant fight. The low-maintenance trees and food plots that work best for hunting land. How mountainous terrain adds far more usable acreage than the map shows. Balancing a growing tree nursery business with habitat work on his own farm. And so much more! Thanks again for all of the support from our partners—none of this would've been possible without them! -Buck Land…
