Land Investing - What You Need To Know!


 

Land The Forgotten Investment ...

 

I don't know about you, but I live in Toronto (Canada) and growing up there used to be a lot of vacant land. As some of this land became developed my grandmother use to say ... "where are all these people coming from?" I look at the way the city is growing "out" and kick myself for NOT remembering that comment and as I started my career instead of buying the nice cars, etc, decided to invest in even one or two of those many land plots.

When we think about "real estate" investing, our first thoughts go to buying some form of income property. However, the "forgotten" investment for a great many of us is LAND. Now I could see why that would be. We want the quick turnaround where we flip a place and make a bit (well hopefully make a bit) and pocket some cash. Nothing wrong with that at all and of course it is the way we have been raised. Buy a house add a little basement apartment and BINGO you not only have a house worth x-amount of dollars, but you have turned it into quite an interesting prospect where someone can get two rents for the cost of one place. Many people like you and I do this and are making a comfortable living at it.

Land isn't as attractive to some, because all it does is sit there until you do

something to it, or someone else decides they want to do something and are willing to buy it off you. Many people think of land this way because it isn't a quick way to make a buck. Based on some of the things I have seen happening ... think again.

My mom lives up in Kearney, Ontario, population 500. A little over a year ago this gentleman comes to Kearney with the idea of resurrecting the old ski hill and turning Kearney into a little ski resort town. GREAT IDEA!! It will certainly help boost the economy all year round.

News spread like wildfire and something happened. Property values jumped in a huge way, vacant land that didn't have a for sale sign on it suddenly did, and investors were jumping on the band wagon. NOT because they were buying up homes left, right and center. I mean some were yes, but with a population of 500 there aren't a lot of homes to be had up there. They were looking at the THE LAND!

Again, there isn't a lot in Kearney. A General Store, two little snack bars, a Post Office, LCBO, and I think now there is a ATV Rental place. There is a huge potential there to buy up the land and do one of two things:

1. hang onto the land until some developer sees that your land is exactly where they have decided to build timeshare condo's, a strip mall of some sort, or even a golf course

2. if you have the money, develop the land yourself.

It will sell, especially in an area that is being developed.

The point I am trying to get across here is YES there are some times when you buy a piece of land, it will just sit and could sit for awhile before someone takes notice of it. However, if you keep your eyes open, and purchased land in the right areas ... then it could pay-off a lot sooner than not.

Instead of looking at the obvious places, Toronto for example and seeing where and how the city is sprawling. Take a path of least resistence. You can bet if you are looking at how a city is growing, you are not alone. So, look out of the area. Go further up the highway. Look for places like Kearney for example, that are small but are going to be developed and of course set for growth. Do your HOMEWORK. Check out the developer and see what has been passed through the local Council and see if there is any sort of plans place by the developer for the go ahead and perhaps there are even timelines.

There are all kinds of Land Investing Opportunities out there. No they don't fall into your lap, and take a little researching ... but if researched properly and planned you could turn a vacant piece of land into a good cash cow for yourself!

Throughout this website you will find information in the form of articles covering a wide variety of land investing "things you should know."

The way to find a good land investing opportunity is to find out what is going on in a specific area or country.
