We are looking to purchase land to farmstead. We have very little experience with purchasing real estate, let alone raw land for our permaculture dreams. I wanted to make sure we don’t make a huge mistake in a purchase that we would eventually regret.

With a limited budget and a crazy real estate market, I want us to stay as clear eyed as possible and make sure we have guiding principles to keep us on the right path. [This training] was worth it!

William is there for me when I have questions or concerns.

Finding Land Course is a practical how-to. It is not all just about theories and information that can only be used for remembering but can translate to something substantial that can truly benefit the aspiring or permaculturist realistically.  I would also mention that everything is in a nutshell and it is not difficult to understand and put into practice, whether novice or seasoned permaculturist.

I have learned so much and have already been able to apply my learning to "weeding" out properties to buy.

I’m roughly halfway through the course and I already got a good deal of what I want to get out of the course, which is the quantification of the criteria for making decisions about purchasing land. Also, that resource guide ROCKS!”

With this course I plan to lay the groundwork for finding a piece of land. It can be overwhelming when you don’t know where to start your research, but this course appears to have very clear steps and guidelines for the exploration and assessment of sites. I plan to utilize this course as the anchor that helps turn ideas into plans.

I am loving all the spreadsheets in the Finding Land Course which help me to finally put a value on certain qualities.
So thank you for making it!

If you want to buy land but are feeling completely lost and unprepared, this course will give you the practical information and confidence needed to start your endeavor. I watched all the videos and read all the written stuff. I feel like I have enough information now to “wing it” if I had to. It also feels good to know that I can reach out to William and the community he has created when I have questions along the way.”

The best part of the course was that it was not simply some videos and lectures put online but one had continuous access to the course instructor/course maker who was always available to help one in need. This increased my motivation and in the end I achieved what I had set out to achieve and now I am comfortably placed in the next level of detailed design.

Thank you William for all your help and support. I recommend this course to all those who are struggling with the details as this is the short version of a longer more arduous journey.

Loving the course! Your system is fantastic for pulling it all together and plugging the gaps. Love the site assessment spreadsheet, it's brilliant. All the worksheets are fantastic actually and make the process very simple and effective to work through. Also the way you have collated all the tools and resources together for us is MASSIVE timesaver. I've spent hours looking around in the past trying to find the tools we need to get our land info

If you’re the kind of person whose mind is all over the place when looking for land, then this course will help give you structure.
The google doc materials are very helpful, especially the sheets. Workbooks too, but sheets give you a quick glance to find exactly the one you need.

[Finding Land Course] helps me organize my thoughts so I can zero in on both what I want to accomplish and what I will need in order to do that.  It brings up important considerations I hadn't thought of yet, things which could be very expensive if I neglected to consider them.

[Finding Land Course] is a broad-spectrum roadmap to finding the right piece of land without the danger of tripping over the many obvious and also hidden obstacles.

Being guided through the ins and outs, the why and why not, the best and worst reasons for making decisions, and an arsenal of checklists to narrow down the field so you can feel confident in taking that definitive step towards your own piece of paradise.

It really resonated with me to hear of the lifetime access, and that it’s suitable for people who have no idea how many years it might take before they can even begin to start looking for land. Also, the vast amount of detail that the course promises is really attractive to me, it looks like a fantastic resource.

Re: how much land do you need calculator — excellent mainframe info, very concise. I really appreciate your thorough organization of these considerations

I completed all the modules in the Finding Land Course! It is so thoughtful and well organized. I appreciate the detail and heart that went into designing and building it. It comes across how much you care about people avoiding costly mistakes.

So thank you for making it!

It’s the bargain of the century

I live in northern California and I am buying a parcel of land in Cote d’Ivoire (Ivory Coast) in West Africa. After the “Finding Land Course,” I was confident enough to further my research on finding a piece of land. I bought 50 acres which are about a 2-hour drive from the capital city with good road access. I am in the final phase of the paperwork with the government.

William has put together a comprehensive system. Many examples, videos, tools and worksheets come with the course that allowed me to hit the ground running. His personal guidance and very fast turnaround time when answering emails are amazing. The amount of time he invests to answer questions personally shows how much he loves what he's doing

I think there is a lot of value in working with William. Especially if you are just starting out, but even if you have tried some of these steps on your own, projects can always be clearer. I came out with more confidence in what I had already identified, but also clarified details on what I had not yet figured out.

Consuming material on these subjects is one thing, but talking about it with someone who has experience is a whole different level. When I can ask questions and it's all about my property, as opposed to learning something generally and then trying to apply it to my situation, it's much easier and quicker to get moving forward.

My husband Bob and I have finished your course and were very impressed with the details provided and the amount of materials that was included. We learned a lot and felt it was well worth the price and the time spent learning the material

We didn't realize there was so much that we didn't know about farming and laying out the proper plans and designs. We are so thankful for your course. I'm sure we won't do everything right but I know you have saved us a lot of mistakes and headaches.

Thanks again. Your course was a fun project for us and kept us talking and thinking about it for the last couple of months. I have really helped us clarify our goals, strengths and weaknesses.

This is probably the best organized and most instructionally sound training in the domain that I've seen. I can also say the guides formatted well with robust quality for a beginner gardener.

I bought the course because I've taken other courses from Mr. Horvath and knew that the course materials and resources would be of high quality - and useful. Future access to the materials helped a lot. Importantly, William is there for me when I have questions or concerns.
