Homestead Startup

Homestead Startup is a weekly podcast following our real-life attempt to trade a too-big house payment for a small homestead on a starter budget in Indiana. I’m documenting everything: searching for raw land, choosing a manufactured home, wrestling with lenders and permits, and designing a practical, beginner-friendly homestead from scratch. You’ll hear the real numbers, the real conversations, and the real emotions behind every step.
