re: Rural Land Investment

I handle most of the land sales in our brokerage, mostly because realtors in general hate dealing with land. Commissions are low and they don’t understand it.

I don’t need the money and like it.

Important things to consider, access, flood plain, topography.

If it’s got all 3, it’s worth looking at to hold in the south, I can’t really speak to other areas of the country as the dynamics are different.

Find a crazy realtor like me to do a lot of your legwork for you to find a good option. Once you have the timber cut the first time, you’ll have to spend a fair bit cleaning up their mess, but once you have you can replant for future timber harvesting, set up for hunting, subdivide it, etc.

It’s a 10-20 year plan minimum if you ask me, but a good long term one. They aren’t making any more.
