WHY BUY VACANT LAND?

There are many benefits to being a vacant landowner.

Here are a few reasons why people choose to invest in vacant land:

Inflation Hedge – Prices for goods and services keep rising (as does the U.S. national debt!) Protect yourself with land.

​Scarcity – Land is a limited resource. Nobody is making any more land. The supply of vacant land is declining over time while the U.S. population and demand continue to grow.

Potential for Income – In many cases, you can lease the property while holding it for eventual sale. For example, outdoor lovers may want to use it as a seasonal hunting ground, a mining company might pay you to extract valuable minerals, or a rancher may pay you to use it for grazing land.

Stability – Unlike financial investments like stocks or mutual funds, the value of vacant land doesn’t fluctuate wildly over short time periods.

Portfolio Diversification – Allocating a portion of your assets to land can reduce overall risk.

Lifestyle – Vacant land can be developed with your dream home or used as a vacation spot, remote ranch, or campsite.

​Simplicity – There are no buildings on vacant land, so there are no leaky roofs, clogged drains, or anything to repair.

Affordability – Choose the size and location of parcels that appeal to you and fit your budget.

​Long Term Gains (Buy and Hold Strategy) – If you get a good deal on land now and hold onto it for a while, you can sell it for a profit later. Of course, there are no guarantees.
