Is it possible as a single woman to start a homestead? I am in the Chicago suburbs and have always planned to get out of here. Did not expect to do this alone, but here I am. Finally have the opportunity to move out of state and pretty much wherever I want. Anyone doing this alone that can give me some reasonable advice and expectations? Once I settle on the area, I plan to rent while I search for property. I know it will be a slow process especially because I’ll have to work full time but don’t want to give up on my dream.
