In this episode of Huntin’ Land, host Joe Baya is joined by Butch and special guest Parker Godwin of Farm Credit of Northwest Florida to explore what it really takes to buy, finance, and manage your own hunting land. The conversation digs into the emotional and practical hurdles of land ownership, from overcoming the intimidation factor and saving for a down payment, to the sense of control and fulfillment that comes with managing your own property.
Listeners will hear candid stories from Joe and Butch about their personal journeys—navigating the transition from hunting leases to private land, the importance of neighborhood and property selection, and the long-term rewards of investing in land for both recreation and family legacy. Parker provides expert insight into the financing side, breaking down the different types of land loans available, how to leverage equity for improvements or expansion, and the unique benefits of working with a lender who understands the needs of hunters and outdoorsmen.
Key topics include:
- The psychological and financial challenges of buying land for the first time
- The value of control, investment, and building equity in your own property
- Strategies for starting small and “trading up” to larger tracts over time
- Financing options: fixed-rate loans, lines of credit, and the flexibility of note modification
- Leveraging existing equity for improvements or additional purchases
- The importance of neighborhood, soil, and long-term planning in property selection
- Real-world stories of land improvement, habitat management, and the joy of sharing hunting experiences with family and friends
