Being on a homestead doesn't mean you'll have to be alone. Homesteaders work as a community and a team to ensure the tribe thrives.

Part of a homesteading group may be community farming. This is where you rent a portion of your land so others can grow crops and plants.

As we collect a small amount of rent, we can invest it and gain a return. One way to get a high yield is investing in mortgage REITs.

Mortgage REITs are dangerous to the average investor, but we can make a good return if we understand their cycles and other investing inputs.

Together, we can work as a community to build a successful homestead and ensure we are good stewards of our money.
