 It's crazy how many restrictions we accept on real estate. Not only zoning laws, but property taxes, eminent domain, even condo associations. I'm not sure it's even possible to get truly unencumbered property.

This is why Bitcoin will beat real estate as a store of value. 
 Also:  mole people. 
 And there is homeowners association. Everyone hates their HoA, even when they are fully private businesses.  
 Best you can do in the US is buy in unincorporated areas of the county. Not a complete fix but definitely a better option.

 This is the way. Also eliminates the risk of a municipality building “affordable housing” near you 
 Ugh, my mom won’t let let our shitcoin properties go… we just keep moving them around legally while paying the carry costs, taxes, and lawyers + brokers take a cut… 🤦🏼‍♂️

They do yield income, as long as we avoid countless possible natural disasters, war, invasion, or social unrest. https://image.nostr.build/28fcce6fc5616f68c80d55e1991d0cc2ef1955bbd9e5648551af93c651edfd57.jpg  
 All county governments are corporations.
When you learn about contracts you can dissolve any contract with county government for lack of consideration and be free as a de jure american landholder. 
 Care to expand on this?! 
 A contract requires consideration, I.e. value, for both parties in order to be valid. Key is - consideration is for you what you consider to he consideration. No one can tell you what consideration is for you. If you think paying property tax isn't consideration for you, you can send the county an affidavit saying so, and dissolve your contract.
Property tax is a contract. Any bills from government or any corporation stems from a contract. Contracts are based on consideration to be valid. You decide what consideration is for you. All government corporations can be found on Dunn & Bradstreet, even United States.
If the county sues you after you notified them of rescission and dissolution of your contract, you win easily because there is no valid contract. County requires a contract to extract money from you - it is voluntary - you agree to it. 
 Thanks for this.

I’m familiar with (essentially) the three levels of law:

1. Equitable (what’s fair and right)
2. Common (God given)
3. Contract (what we agree to)

I’m in the process of moving from the public to the private with our business; via private express trust functioning as a UBO/PMA.

My question as it pertains to real estate I guess is this:

We are looking to buy a home in the coming Months.

This would be via a private seller who will hold the “mortgage” (note).

Seller has already offered some initial terms such as they would hold the note at 7% interest with a certain amount down payment.

In a perfect world I want that 7% to be simple interest (not amortized). I think that is merely a matter of us clarifying that with seller.

Likewise I think we can just do a private bill of sale with seller having a lien on the property (as the “mortgage”).

I assume the home is listed with the county register and property taxes are being paid by the current owner.

Once we purchase (via bill of sale with lien) the home, isn’t there steps we have to (are supposed to) take with the county to record the transaction?

Or is this where you are saying, in lieu of recording the sale with the county we send an affidavit attesting we as the new owners do not contract with the county?

Lastly, I do know if we have our trust be the owner of the property (do the transaction with the seller instead of us personally) we should be able to just record with the county an internal private transaction ID number but leave the details of which property was acquired inside the trust’s transaction records (thus keeping it private instead of public)…is that enough to eliminate the property taxes? 
 Almost guaranteed that Nothing you do will "eliminate" your property taxes. The county is extorting you and will attempt to foreclose no matter what if you don't pay - its a matter of preparing for and defending the foreclosure lawsuit when it comes along from the county.

1. You can indorse the property tax bill and send it in as a negotiable instrument payment pursuant to UCC article 3
2. You can rescind all contract with the county by an affidavit stating so, and that you are not receiving what you consider consideration from whatever contract they may have
3. I would still file the new deed in the property records if you buy, in the name of your trust or whoever.

See onestupidfuck.com for details about payment of bills via indorsement. 
 You have to study the principles of contract law and have enough braincells to see your defense from those principles (which I'm sure you do) and perform that defense in court.

Or you have to understand bills as negotiable instruments, namely UCC article 3 (codified in FL statutes too, just google it) and know how to perform on the bill with an indorsement and negotiate it by mail to the county  

Ideally both. You can win the foreclosure lawsuit easily if you stand your ground on these facts of law. 
 So I’ve seen a few TikTok vids on paying credit cards, buying cars, and paying utility/services bills by endorsing the “coupon” to have it paid via our cesti vie trust (if I recall how it was explained)

Also a vid about endorsing estimated income tax payments and getting a return on the 1040 (there is another form too involved but I don’t recall)

I just struggle to connect all the dots as well as identify the process from a reliable source other than Joe in his mom’s basement 
 Yeah you really want to find the time to watch Brandon's Contract Killer 2.0 course. It is free. That would "connect the dots" better than anything else. Don't bother asking attorney-at-law because they don't have a fucking clue, or they wouldn't be working for a paycheck.

Taxes are braindead easy to pay with indorsed bills and/or a revocation of election. Again, you have to watch brandons videos if you want to understand.

 The trick is not to buy any.  
 I sold my house after a Saylor interview and bought Bitcoin. My rent has been cut in half since then. Have off course been a Bitcoiner before. 
 accept ? 
they put you in jail if you not complain ..  
 Darn it your right 
 A-FREAKING-MEN 👏🏼 “Buy where you can afford, rent where you want to live” was the best advice I ever had in 2010 as a 20-something (who hadn’t heard of Bitcoin or been given any financial literacy!). No regrets using real estate to build some capital in my twenties during that era but my god was it a ball ache for the return as a ‘side hustle’. Admin for tax returns since Bitcoin takes about 10mins instead of 10days. 😵‍💫 
 INVESTMENT REAL ESTATE IS A SHITCOIN. 
 Invest in Bitcoin to make your portfolio communist proof. 
 Not to mention the real value prop of real estate is the ability to rent it out, which introduces tremendous third party risk 
 Yeah but most people are born limited (=fiat slaves) and would say that bitcoin is “too free”. That’s why the real estate market still has long days ahead of it 
 The only way real estate "makes money" is through the mortgage system, allowing you to get closer to the money printer. Even then you need to be lucky to not have any catastrophic events.

Even if everything goes well over decades, when you also add up all (and I mean ALL) costs over those decades, your money printing advantage dwindles down to much less. 
 I strongly dislike HOAs and will never buy a property that has one. Nasty, nasty... 
 Bitcoin is property. 
 Real Estate is not owned by individuals. Is owned by the State. 
 This is true in the United Mistakes, although I heard on a podcast the other day that you can get land in Mexico that doesn't have property tax on it... 
 In Mexico probably the land is not from the State, but from the drugs cartels. 
 In that case, the cartels probably have their own "tax" that they charge 😒

 Zoning laws serve a purpose though. Houston is a good example of what happens when you don't.  
 some say that houston is a better place to live without this bullshit 
 What BS? 
 begging to the government to put a commercial garden or build a shop

there is already plenty of law and case law relating to neighbours suing for damages over your impeding their customary enjoyment of their own property, such as building a tall building next to low buildings, and such. it's really not necessary to have a government zoning bullshit, it just makes for an ugly, uniform, institutionalised vibe

zoning laws in most of the Balkans are extremely lax if any at all... most of the commieblocks have shops at the bottom floor, or workshops or garages... people set up shops wherever. there is no laws against you laying out a bunch of stock to sell on the side of the road even, anywhere, no permission required so long as you aren't blocking traffic 
 Have you been to or lived in Houston? This is just a snippet.

 something to do with the sex shop?

i don't see what's weird about the picture on the right, looks like many highways i've been on in my life 
 yes, i was trying to remember what it reminded me of... outer suburbs of Budapest 
 Okay, pretty obvious you've never been to Houston. You'd understand the vast difference.
