Tell Vallie in your own words.

A porch that catches the sunset. A garden out back. A little house for your parents, close enough to walk over for supper.

That’s where it starts.

Let’s find your property.

The listing never says if it floods.

Does it flood? Can you get to it? Can you even put a house on it? Vallie checks each parcel against public records, so the only places you drive out to see are the ones worth the drive.

And every week, Vallie emails you new listings that fit your plan. It checks those too.

Land in the US, and abroad.

Some families want a few acres in Tennessee. Some want a farmhouse in Portugal, or land back home in Jamaica. Vallie searches the US and 14 other countries.

You don’t need a US passport. Tell Vallie your citizenship, and before it shows you land in any country, including the US, it checks whether you can own it there, and how.

Sample

13 acres in the Alentejo, PortugalAsking €85,000 (about $95,000)

Can you own land here?Your citizenship: Canadian ▾

Portugal

Yes. Foreigners can buy and own land on the same terms as citizens.

Mexico

Yes, away from the borders and coast. Near them, a bank holds the title in a trust for you.

Australia

Yes, with approval first. Anyone who isn’t a citizen or resident applies to the Foreign Investment Review Board before buying.

This week’s step

Ask the county if the creek parcel can take a septic system.

Done. Vallie let Jason know.

Vallie stays
after you buy.

Finding the land is the first step. Then come the surveys, the builder’s quotes, the garden, and someday a little house for your parents. Vallie keeps all of it in one place, for everyone in the family.

Coming SoonField Day

Buy it right here, on fair terms.

Some of the land Vallie finds will be sold to members, right here, on Field Day.

Every parcel is checked top to bottom before the sale opens: title, survey, soil. You get a month to review or visit it. On some of the properties, you can make a fair monthly payment instead of paying all cash.

We’re starting in a few places first. Tell us where you’d buy, and you’ll hear first when Field Day comes near you.

Questions, answered.

Something else on your mind? Email hi@thisgoodground.com

Do I pay anything to join?

No. Joining the waitlist is free, and you can unsubscribe anytime. When Vallie launches, founding families pay $100 for their first year.

When does it open?

There’s no date yet. The day there is, everyone on this list hears first.

Do you cover land outside the US?

Yes. Along with the US, Vallie searches Canada, the UK, Portugal, Australia, South Africa, Mexico, Italy, France, Costa Rica, Jamaica, Spain, the Dominican Republic, Colombia and Ecuador. In every country, it first checks whether you can own land there with your citizenship. Some checks are only built for the US so far, and Vallie always tells you which ones it ran.

What happens after we buy?

Vallie keeps working with you. Upload the reports from your inspection, keep your build costs in one place, and get a calendar for taking care of your land. Your family stays on the same board the whole way.

What are credits?

Credits pay for the checks Vallie runs on each parcel: flood, soil, roads and more. The founding year includes some. After founding, credits are sold separately.

Is this legal or financial advice?

No. Vallie gets you most of the way. A lender confirms loan terms, and a real estate lawyer where the land is confirms the rest before you sign anything.
