When people get into the
Real Estate Investment
game, they get confused.
How can 100 acres be
only a thousand dollars
in certain areas?
Because it needs to be
completely developed! A
piece of land in
Southern California is
completely different
than a piece of land out
in the middle of nowhere
in the heartland. Here
are the top seven types
of investment land.
1- Land for sale in huge
cities. As in the above
example, land is simply
more expensive in Los
Angeles than in Texas.
Now the tricky part is
when to invest, because
the land is so expensive.
It seems that buying
land in the boom cycle
is the best choice.
Alternatively, you can
simply buy properties in
outlying areas of
Southern California were
land isn’t as expensive
yet the population keeps
growing.
2- Ocean-Front Land- If
you can stumble upon a
great ocean-front lot
for sale that is
residential and
buildable, the
investment is extremely
solid. As soon as more
development goes away,
you can get a huge
return on investment.
3- Lake-Front Land- This
is similar to
ocean-front land but to
a small extent. There
are simply many more
rivers than oceans in
the world. People like
living near water,
though, so if you can’t
afford ocean-front, go
lake-front!
4- Lake-View Land- Only
buy lake-view land is
the subdivision is
already growing. Thus,
you can still bank in on
the people that want to
live only blocks away
from the lake.
5- Golf Course Land-
Many great land
investments are directly
tied to the popularity
of a golf course the
land might be near or
on. Stepping outside the
house to play golf
everyday sounds like a
lovely retirement,
doesn’t it?
6- Gated Communities-
They are safer, but more
expensive. If the
covenants aren’t too
restrictive, they still
seem like great
investments.
7- Ranch Lot- If you
have 100 acres in the
middle of nowhere, but
those 100 are adjacent
to another 100 acres
that is developing, you
can cash in if you have
enough money to invest
in building a
subdivision. Roads,
utilities, houses, and
more are needed. And
it’s a large investment.
But the return would be
worth it.
It’s all about location,
location, location.
