Don't Let This Pass You By.

Many ads for land will say this property offers a blank canvas for the owner. I originally thought just another BS sales technique.
After selling hundreds of properties, I have come to embrace the blank canvas philosophy.
Let me tell you why ----------
Some interesting stories from past buyers regarding possible uses of land.
A buyer from Canada purchased a large acre property in San Bernardino County CA located in the San Bernardino Mountains. The topography is dominated by steep slopes with a density of trees and underbrush covering this large tract. Not buildable or suitable for developing. I complimented him on making a great investment (I gave him a discounted price), he replied no we aren't keeping this as an investment we are going to use it for paint gun fights. I thought to myself sounds like fun to me.
Recently sold was a 5 Acre property, in a rural and healthy area of southern California. I inquired if he was going to developing this land with a home. He replied, I have no intention of building here we are starting a bee farm My thoughts how creative.
2010 a buyer from NY contacted me regarding a 122 acres parcel located in the middle of the Utah desert (The Great Salt Lake Desert). She was an artist of some recognition on the NY scene. The property was low desert, meaning nothing but sand and more sand (high desert can have streams, trees and wildlife). I had to ask how she intended to use the land. She said, as an artist I am always looking for ways to create and intended to put a giant train engine in the middle of this desert as a work of art.
I live in Wisconsin and a lady from the neighboring state of Illinois contacted me looking for land as an investment for her family. She decided on 80 acres in Pershing County NV. As it turns out they decided to pursue developing the property and now have a home on the land. Also, enjoying the privacy and security of this healthy desert environment.

Land As An Investment
1. You have more control over your land investment than with traditional investments as stocks or bonds.
a. Easily managed-As owner you can sell your land at any time and collect the proceeds-no need for a broker or sales person.
b. Easier liquidity
c. No tax penalties or time frame for cashing out
d. A solid land investment provides the highest returns
2. Extremely inexpensive to own. With the greater percentage of land investments, the only cost to own is the annual tax.
3. Your land will still be there tomorrow-not true with all investments.
4. Simple to purchase. Many sales are made online with only three basic steps to ownership.
a. Due your due diligence to be sure the land is suited for your needs
b. Pay for the property
c. The deed is recorded in your name
5. As a rule, land value will increase over time. Take a moment to go to the county assessors website and look up the assessed value for several land parcels of land going back 10 years. Generally you will find they have increased. Also, the assessed value is only a fraction of market value.
6. As stated, land is a great long-term investment.
7. A land investment is easy to pass on to children or grandchildren or give as a gift. If you purchase land as a gift or to pass it on to beneficiaries, it's as simple as placing the deed in their name.
8. Land is tangible. Outside of existing on paper (deed) you can: visit, build, farm, ranch, hunt, vacation spot, live on it, develop it in a variety of ways, rent it, lease it, have a picnic on your land. It can have multiple uses.
9. Treat it as you would any other investment in so much as developing a land portfolio, while having all the afore mentioned advantages.
