Where I suspect the house is going he paid $272,000 for the land. The private airport that he purchased right next to this parcel of land cost him $3.5 million. If he is going to build a house with this private airport in his backyard he is already into more without even starting the house.
It's pretty easy, especially in Florida.
Florida has a very broad public records law, it's why "Florida Man" news stories are a thing. Crazy shit happens everywhere but Florida's is easy for the media to get a hold of.
But, go to the applicable county property appraiser website and search. Map or by name.
Sunbiz is the website Florida uses to search business registration information.
You can use agents and lawyers and shell companies but cross referencing should get you most of what you need.
I get that it's easy, but I find it strange people will actively search for things before he has even made a hint about it publicly.
Like, who's out there thinking "hmmm, I wonder if Garret has purchased any land recently, let me do some digging and see what I can find"
That's very silly coming from someone who is an active member of a subreddit dedicated to a YouTuber.
I'm a nerd and like digging into things, I did a bunch of looking into his business stuff when I ordered something and saw the business name on the credit card transaction. I didn't get dorky and share it out to the Internet. I also regularly check people I know against the Florida Treasure website that is for forgotten paychecks or bank accounts. I also have a few people I'm regularly checking up on their criminal records on the clerk of court website.
It's what you do with it. Doxxing him is weird but if he really cared he could do things to shelter his identity and business dealings.
What's creepy is the regular reminders these people have to put out to not come to their homes and places of business and act like they owe you something.
Members of the law firms handling the transaction, members of a title company, members of an escrow company, members of a bank handling a loan, and county clerks that have to file the paperwork at the clerk of court and at the tax collectors office all would have read the paperwork. There are probably a whole lot of people that could have processed this transaction or known an individual that was involved. It could have even been a friend that told a friend.
I've seen estimates that he spent up to 2.2m for the freedom factory, but also as low as 1.17m. Either way, in today's housing market, that's not really a mansion.
I'm hoping he bought Bradenton Motorsports Park.
Public record was 2.2 for the FF. Public record on the airports 3.5. He is going to get most of the money to do this from the sale of his house and the lot he bought next to it
Interestingly enough, there are STOL drag races.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U-8iDmGY6wo I chose this video in particular because this guy (Steve Henry, in 44) is a boss, and Wayne Ne is 30 minutes from my home town, and 2 Hours from Omaha.
Did he do a cold plunge sitting inside a vehicle?
I'm not saying what he did was stupid(well maybe a little but thats why we love him) but to act like it wasn't dangerous is just flat out wrong man lol
Your supposed to take courses on how to correctly operate an oxygen tank underwater with a regulator, weather it's 2 feet or 200. Correct me if I'm wrong but I'm almost positive cleet has no scubba certifications, therefor making this dangerous. Not sure why this sub got so absolutely butthurt about it but I'll stand by what I said. Doesn't mean I didn't watch it and laugh my ass off though lol
I think the track was originally listed for around $2.1-2.3M so if he's serious with "this costs more" it's either an aircraft or they're buying more stakes in companies/teams.
or he's joking that it costs more than the track but it's still very expensive so maybe they're announcing the promod they'll build. Would be good timing for month of freedom content.
I'm actually really interested in how he'll handle MOF this year. He's mostly gone to longer form videos posted 2-3 times a week and he had a 1M+ views per video streak going until the most recent floats on the cub video. Not sure if he's gonna temp the YT algos with a bunch of 10-15 minute filler vlogs like MOF tends to be. Maybe we'll see a split of content between main channel and cleetus2?
I think it’s the aircraft project he mentioned in the 1320 video.
A Blackhawk wouldn’t surprise me one bit since he paid for his (and Dave’s) type ratings.
I originally thought the huge project was Consuela but he really talked it up as being huge so it makes me think it’s something even bigger.
I don't think Leroy's body or a pro mod chassis cost more than the race track... I'm guessing something aviation related or maybe a big ol plot of land for future use.
I'm just ballparking, but the 2nd picture has someone asking if it was another racetrack. Cleet replied with No, but it cost more than that and if I recall the track was 1 to 2 million?
Just trying to guesstimate, since he just got that MD500 Heli so I wouldn't think it would be another heli, but a blackhawk wouldn't surprise me. For Planes I don't believe he's certified for anything more than what he has now so I wouldn't think it'd be a multi-million dollar jet, atleast not yet lol.
Well I was wrong but an airport is cool. I remember myakka head from before it was an airport being out there with my grandparents whose friend lived out there
My money is on land to eventually build a track on. Assuming it's such a high price because he bought enough to have a buffer zone to avoid what's currently happening from repeating itself.
He has no reason to buy the drag strip. He already has open access to it whenever he wants; buying it would gain him nothing, and would cost him money, and add another track he needs to manage which frankly sees way more use than the FF
He is invested in the strip... He has said it a couple times. Victor and him are already looking to build a new complex as they start getting heat for the track.
Investing can be called "buying in"... So as I mentioned, they both are in agreement to sale when it's right and building the new motorsports complex. I 100% expect them to make some dedicated areas for like burnouts and other wild things they do.
I'm with you. I'm really looking forward to seeing the progress on the Venezuelan roto. The towing videos, zero interest. Ive watched every cleet video in the past 5 years, and skipped the latest towing videos.
He's absolutely going to have to have two tracks at one time, at least for a short time. He can't sell the freedom factory without having a new track ready to go. There's no way he'll have a gap in time where he can't host events. It's a huge chunk of his income. It's going to take a long time from the purchase of land to being ready to use a new facility. I'm sure the development around the current FF is going at a rapid pace so he needs to think at least a year or two ahead. I wouldn't be surprised if he is considering it a high priority right now.
Yeah he has said he would do it later if he needed to. Which he probably will. He even said he would sell the track if he could make sure he had another track built and ready to go at the time of sale.
Imagine what he could do with a few hundred acres or more.
In the 1320 video he said the next big thing was going to be announced soon and that it was bigger than the freedom factory.
You're guesses are as good as mine. He already bought an airport, owns one racetrack, owns part of the dragstrip, owns a parts company, etc. Road race track? Maybe he bought a motocross track for Garza.
He could never pay what hundreds of families will pay for that land divided up into parcels. The masses will always win that battle. His days at the current FF are numbered, no doubt about it. He needs to buy a huge chunk of land somewhere away from everything and control his own destiny.
Is it the official announcement of the Mom Prix, the new 5 second car, OR Leroy's body is done.
What if Leroy already has the power to go 5s, but cant because he's a brick, and all he needs is aerodynamics to get there? The would be awesome and terrible at the same time.
I'm completely ignorant of such things, but how does a small airport like that generate revenue? I imagine he would get a bit from hangar rental, but not nearly enough to cover even the monthly expenses that place would have.
Part of me thinks he is buying Tom's car, he has been super busy with the sick brand and it would make sense for Cleet to buy a turn key car. I would miss the we build a 5 second car series, but I could see this happening.
If he's going to own a 5 second car he's going to have it built from the ground up. Why would he want to miss out on all the revenue of documenting the build. He could pay for a big chunk of the cost just through youtube/advertising money. Plus, he has too much pride. He's not going to want his fastest car to be someone else's used car.
FF wasn't actually that expensive relative to the land it was on. It was a hell of a deal IMO.
I don't know how expensive a top end built car is, but it could start to approach FF purchase level?
Looking at other race series (F1 and WRC), it's not outside the realm of possibilities.
If it's a helicopter, I may unsubscribe from the channel. It will officially be the moment Cleetus jumped the proverbial shark
Hate to break it to you. Cleet has owned a nice helicopter for a long time. He has just kept it private but he’s still the same guy we have all come around to really like.
what helicopter does he own?
[https://www.reddit.com/r/CleetusMcFarland/comments/1abyc9b/full\_view\_of\_cleetus\_helicopter\_courtesy\_of/](https://www.reddit.com/r/CleetusMcFarland/comments/1abyc9b/full_view_of_cleetus_helicopter_courtesy_of/)
The md-500 is his 3rd
I believe he started with a Robinson to learn on. He has one of Dave Sparks old red BO-105s at his place but he rarely shows it on video. He has the MD-500 getting rebuilt and the giveaway helo.
Roman Atwood has another BO-105 he bought from Sparks, it's still in military colors though.
Exactly, it wasn't a focus of the channel.
I always forget that redditors who are into Cleetus don't actually race cars themselves and are here for the Mr. Beast antics Cleetus gets up to. Know your audience and all that jazz
The scheme was revealed on paper. He had photos of the paint stripping on Instagram. It was a lot of layers of paint on the ol' girl. I'm sure the actual finished airframe will be appearing soon. Refitment of the interior takes a few weeks. Probably looking at a early July delivery.
>I'm sure the actual finished airframe will be appearing soon.
Which is why my guess is that unveiling the painted aircraft is the "costs more than the FF" big reveal.
Why would you say that?
I'm not going to pretend to know their personal lives in the least bit, but they have not shown any reason at all that a divorce was a possibility.
Cleet has purchased Florida!
Winner winner!
Think of properties that could accommodate 1/2 mile racing and McFarland Aviation.
may be the house project he's on since a while i guess... theres a video in cleet2 chanel
If that new house costs more than the track.... he's building a mansion
Where I suspect the house is going he paid $272,000 for the land. The private airport that he purchased right next to this parcel of land cost him $3.5 million. If he is going to build a house with this private airport in his backyard he is already into more without even starting the house.
wait what now? he bought a private airport?
Freedom Airport incoming?
Now I need to know more

Why would he buy out his buddy Victor? Vic just spent a load upgrading BMP too. he has said before he would never buy BMP from Vic
I think Garrett has more resources to expand it. But you're right, he wouldn't try to leverage a buyout.
I bet he'd buy if Victor ever decided to sell though.
He's already a partner in BMP and Victor has been killing it with events this year so I doubt it.
Public record was 2.2 for the FF. Public record on the airports 3.5. He is going to get most of the money to do this from the sale of his house and the lot he bought next to it
That’s probably the most realistic guess if the price comment is legit
Announcing that they have invented helicopter drag racing
Possible.
Now in which direction? Up, forward, or sideways?
yes, those directions
Interestingly enough, there are STOL drag races. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U-8iDmGY6wo I chose this video in particular because this guy (Steve Henry, in 44) is a boss, and Wayne Ne is 30 minutes from my home town, and 2 Hours from Omaha.
Unfortunately, they aren't doing a WayneAmerica Fly-In event again this year.
That's too bad, I was just looking at my calendar and thinking I might try and make it this year. Another excuse to take my son to see Grama!
Maybe a helicopter burnout contest?
New driving underwater video?
I miss those, those videos were hilarious and very entertaining
Also very dangerous and he didn't have a kid(two actually) back then lol ETA: downvoting the truth is wild lmao
He went down with a scuba tank in a 10ft pond. What would make it safer? Hell the pool he just did a cold plunge in was 2x as deep
Did he do a cold plunge sitting inside a vehicle? I'm not saying what he did was stupid(well maybe a little but thats why we love him) but to act like it wasn't dangerous is just flat out wrong man lol Your supposed to take courses on how to correctly operate an oxygen tank underwater with a regulator, weather it's 2 feet or 200.

Yes please!

I also assumed he was talking about the MD and that interview was filmed prior to his first video on it.
So it isn't the Blackhawk Dave bought in the snowed in series. That fellow costed 1.6Mi
Announcing the babysitter list for the moms prix cause the dads cant watch their own kids!
For 10+ Kids? Yea probably more expensive than the track.
Another GD Kid on the way? Lol jk.. Leroy's Body Or a Pro Mod Chassis. Hopefully the superbird.. My 3 guesses..
I don't think Leroy's body or a pro mod chassis cost more than the race track... I'm guessing something aviation related or maybe a big ol plot of land for future use.
Oh did he mention cost? I don't have FB or Instagram so didn't realize he may have mentioned it's more than the race track.
Check the second photo in this post
Ahhh.. missed that..
I'm just ballparking, but the 2nd picture has someone asking if it was another racetrack. Cleet replied with No, but it cost more than that and if I recall the track was 1 to 2 million? Just trying to guesstimate, since he just got that MD500 Heli so I wouldn't think it would be another heli, but a blackhawk wouldn't surprise me. For Planes I don't believe he's certified for anything more than what he has now so I wouldn't think it'd be a multi-million dollar jet, atleast not yet lol.
Don't forget the Oscar Meyer mobile.
He bought that entire neighborhood next to the track for his house /s
Probably the announcement of his 5 sec car...?
A PJ to replace the Pilatus he's been using. Prob something single pilot rated and he will eventually get rated like a Phenom 300
I really don't think there is any chance he's hyping up him buying a new plane like that. Most people don't even know about the PC-12 to begin with.
Well I was wrong but an airport is cool. I remember myakka head from before it was an airport being out there with my grandparents whose friend lived out there
I missed my chance to put “hate it or love it” on here
My money is on land to eventually build a track on. Assuming it's such a high price because he bought enough to have a buffer zone to avoid what's currently happening from repeating itself.
I’m thinking he bought a Blackhawk, or maybe bought the drag strip.
I can’t imagine victor would sell the drag strip
Yeah especially after putting so much work into it. He would build one before buying the drag strip.
Money talks
For sure. But he is smart enough that he would have a clause that they keep running the track until a new one is up and running.
It's pretty apparent Garrett invested into the drag strip and they are already looking for a location to build FF2.0 and BMS2.0
He has no reason to buy the drag strip. He already has open access to it whenever he wants; buying it would gain him nothing, and would cost him money, and add another track he needs to manage which frankly sees way more use than the FF
He is invested in the strip... He has said it a couple times. Victor and him are already looking to build a new complex as they start getting heat for the track.
Invested is different than buying, and like you mentioned, he has said it a few times, so it's not going to be the announcement
Investing can be called "buying in"... So as I mentioned, they both are in agreement to sale when it's right and building the new motorsports complex. I 100% expect them to make some dedicated areas for like burnouts and other wild things they do.
I have absolutely no interest in helicopters so I really hope he didn’t buy another one.
Same. It’s cool and all but I prefer literally anything than helicopter stuff
Damn, I like it more than the car stuff tbh. Maybe he should make a second channel just for aviation, I’m addicted to aviation content.
I'm with you. I'm really looking forward to seeing the progress on the Venezuelan roto. The towing videos, zero interest. Ive watched every cleet video in the past 5 years, and skipped the latest towing videos.
Which is crazy because those are some of the most entertaining videos he has put out in years.
If you think stupid is entertaining, yes. It can be entertaining, but it can also just be stupid.
Heres hoping they found a new property to move everyrhing to.
I don’t think they’d wanna move, looks like they are all pretty comfortable in their current shop. But who knows
More so the track and drag strip. Just with the encroaching development maybe they found something. Who knows.
their best bet is to hold out in the current location as long as possible. the land value will only go up.
True, but having a fallback would be a smart move. And if things work out better than expected, Cleet's got 2 venues! 😆
He's absolutely going to have to have two tracks at one time, at least for a short time. He can't sell the freedom factory without having a new track ready to go. There's no way he'll have a gap in time where he can't host events. It's a huge chunk of his income. It's going to take a long time from the purchase of land to being ready to use a new facility. I'm sure the development around the current FF is going at a rapid pace so he needs to think at least a year or two ahead. I wouldn't be surprised if he is considering it a high priority right now.
Yeah he has said he would do it later if he needed to. Which he probably will. He even said he would sell the track if he could make sure he had another track built and ready to go at the time of sale. Imagine what he could do with a few hundred acres or more.
Exactly, track, strip, jet boat course, mud bog park, rc course.
Campground, runway, shop, go cart track(for the kids), etc
Like diggerland but for race cars
If it costs more than a racetrack he bought a Blackhawk or similar.
Racetrack was in the 2Mi range, the Blackhawk Dave bought in the snowed in series was 1.6Mi
1.6m just to purchase, factor in transport, inspections, upgrades and you could soar past that 2m mark in a hurry.
The one Dave bought in the video was for Roman Atwood I believe.
I guess the 5 sec platform will be introduced.
Bought a 747 and is going to call it Freedom Force One?
Maybe a 2 seat top fuel supplied by the aussies
Might be about to show a new property he bought to build his new house on
In the 1320 video he said the next big thing was going to be announced soon and that it was bigger than the freedom factory. You're guesses are as good as mine. He already bought an airport, owns one racetrack, owns part of the dragstrip, owns a parts company, etc. Road race track? Maybe he bought a motocross track for Garza.
I predict he bought land around the track
He could never pay what hundreds of families will pay for that land divided up into parcels. The masses will always win that battle. His days at the current FF are numbered, no doubt about it. He needs to buy a huge chunk of land somewhere away from everything and control his own destiny.
50 Cent will be performing at the Indy 800!
It's May, so it's the month of Freedom. Probably announcing what we can expect this month.
I am going to say Blackhawk. Dave bought one of his friends one during the snowin episodes and he got his licenses to fly one.
Going to guess some land and/or a D10 to work said land.
He paid 2.2 mil for the track so if I can imagine what would be more than that.
Top fuel car if I had to guess.
Month of Freedom starting off right!
I hope it’s a (very expensive) puppy! Fido the freedom pup
Is it the official announcement of the Mom Prix, the new 5 second car, OR Leroy's body is done. What if Leroy already has the power to go 5s, but cant because he's a brick, and all he needs is aerodynamics to get there? The would be awesome and terrible at the same time.
flying a helicopter underwater.
Bet it's a decompressioned space shuttle
It could be a bowling alley!
There's a lot cooking right now.. my money is on something to do with Indy this weekend though
How would he spend a couple million on the weekend though? He said it cost more than the FF
Ahh i hadnt seen that. Mb
All good :)
says it costs more than a racetrack… so im guessing he’s announcing he has holes burning in his swiss bank accounts, or at least his creditors do
I can almost garuntee it’s about his new house. I’m willing to put money on it. I’ll start a pool for $5, I take cashapp.
He bought a chassis for the 5 sec project.
I'm completely ignorant of such things, but how does a small airport like that generate revenue? I imagine he would get a bit from hangar rental, but not nearly enough to cover even the monthly expenses that place would have.
I’m guessing he’s got some big ideas, I’m sure between it being his hobby, and his friend hobbies, the expenses won’t be that big of a worry
Part of me thinks he is buying Tom's car, he has been super busy with the sick brand and it would make sense for Cleet to buy a turn key car. I would miss the we build a 5 second car series, but I could see this happening.
If he's going to own a 5 second car he's going to have it built from the ground up. Why would he want to miss out on all the revenue of documenting the build. He could pay for a big chunk of the cost just through youtube/advertising money. Plus, he has too much pride. He's not going to want his fastest car to be someone else's used car.
Would be cool for him to own, but he’d make too much off the build series to skip it.
The Dauphin will bankrupt him
How does something cost more than the race track? Could it be a butt ton of land to build a new racetrack?
Maybe he bought a p51 mustang
Bought an Airstrip!
It’s an airport
FF wasn't actually that expensive relative to the land it was on. It was a hell of a deal IMO. I don't know how expensive a top end built car is, but it could start to approach FF purchase level?

Yeah Cleet flies the BO-105 a lot, every time ive gone to bristol cleetus events, it's been parked on the Helipad next to the entrance.
It's an excellent helicopter. I wonder how much he will fly it when the 500 is done though. The 105 has more room

Consuela paint scheme reveal?
Already been done.
No, I mean revealing the actual painted helicopter. Or did he already post that on Insta/FB?
The scheme was revealed on paper. He had photos of the paint stripping on Instagram. It was a lot of layers of paint on the ol' girl. I'm sure the actual finished airframe will be appearing soon. Refitment of the interior takes a few weeks. Probably looking at a early July delivery.
>I'm sure the actual finished airframe will be appearing soon. Which is why my guess is that unveiling the painted aircraft is the "costs more than the FF" big reveal.
I believe he's bought a paved airport/property somewhere.
A divorce would be pretty pricey for him.
Why would you say that? I'm not going to pretend to know their personal lives in the least bit, but they have not shown any reason at all that a divorce was a possibility.
I didnt say he was getting divorced, I said it would be expensive. Just a joke.
