Basically I'm thinking about investing in real estate where I would have tenants but the crazy government overreach with the covid shit has me pretty down and confused about what the future holds. I've looked at Florida but it seems like it has a pretty big lawsuit culture, are there any states left where you don't have to be worried about being sued constantly if you rent your property to others?

Look at the existing freedom rankings:

There isn't a category for "real estate" exactly, but you can look at "land" and several others.
Nothing in the USA is anywhere close to free. Political migration and secession (ex seasteading) is the only way forward.
Interesting thanks this seems like just what I'm looking for also interesting to see florida at #1 I didn't quite expect that
Texas
Interesting thanks
To be fair I wrote that in response to your title only. Based on what I know, land in Texas can be purchased out right and in such a way property taxes can be avoided. That is the most ancap. Also they are trying to succeed so that may really fuck things up for your real estate business. Personally I would consider Equidor. The land there is affordable. You could run a air b and b in a coastal town or buy a farm in the tropical mountains and hire help to run it. The religion is 91% Christian. It has a very low crime rate. You can own guns and smoke pot if you jump through government regs. Because of the grand solar minimum and cooling temps buying land in the premo niches of the world is what I'd be doing with my real estate investments. Definitely worth researching. Adapt2030 has a great podcast on this topic.

Thanks I've actually traveled in latin america a bit but not yet ecuador I'll look into that more
My property tax bill says that's a lie.
Here in small town Texas we don't have income tax, no fire dept, no police, no sidewalks... I don't mind it one bit.
I would, however, like to own my property right out. I don't pay my property taxes and guess what happens? No state will allow you to own your property outright though.
There are different ways to own land and obviously you do not own the land just the real estate. Land ownership is not available except in Texas and New Hampshire from what I understand, just real estate ownership, which consists of all land improvements but no the land. Which is why you are listed as the tenet of the estate (state) and If you don't pay your rent (taxes) your evicted.
You can get around paying propert taxes in Texas? How? You sure? Do you own land there?
So it's been a very long time since I researched this, however a quick internet search netted me this resource on securing a land patent. A preliminary read through suggests that Texas offers land patents directly instead of through the US government like all the other states. You may learn more here.

Thanks! I’ll definitely look into it
Yeah for sure, also look up "allodial title" you may find more helpful info there too.
Florida. Homestead cant be seized in a lawsuit.
Interesting thanks
Thanks I've been to northern georgia, great area, definitely one I should look at closer I think
Now is not the best time for real estate prices, in fact they are sky high, although the interest rates are at historic lows if you’re going to get a loan. Maybe find a foreclosure on a duplex so you can get double rent going to try to make up for the extreme price.
Stay OUT of California, that’s all I can say. It’s a nightmare to evict here.
I hear that it is much better in Texas. Like they have to get their shit in a plastic garbage bag and get the hell out fast.
Edit: being sued is not the main issue, you can get an LLc or obtain liability insurance for that. Be more concerned about the eviction process, and discrimination laws. There are some cities that require you to accept the first qualified tenant. Stay AWAY from those. And try to pick a fairly well populated area with jobs so you won’t have to go months with your property vacant. Also it’s best to live near your property so you can check up on it, so pick somewhere you like.
