Reasons Why You Should Be Investing In Land

Posted on: June 13, 2016

1) With Vacant Land, You Don’t Need to “do” Anything to the Property.
Forget construction! Forget renovations! You don’t need to be an expert or know anything about how to rehab a property yourself. In most cases, you really only need to know one thing: “Is the property suitable for building?” As long as someone else can build on the land if/when they want to, a huge part of the battle is already won.
Have you had enough of dealing with tenants, toilets, bugs, mold, lawn care, leaking roofs, bursting pipes, and the hundreds of other issues that come with owning buildings? Vacant land doesn’t involve ANY of those things. Once you buy it… it sits there, it behaves itself, and nothing happens.
2) Statistically, Vacant Land Owners are Highly Motivated to Sell.
Why? Because vacant land owners (by default) are always absentee owners. When a person doesn’t live inside of (or even near) the property they’re trying to sell, there is less of an “emotional connection” (because it isn’t their primary residence). In many cases, you’ll find that these sellers are willing to sell their land for a lower profit – simply because they don’t live anywhere near it, it’s not producing any income for them (because they don’t know how to optimize their land correctly) and as a result, they are much more apathetic about it. Find these people, and you will find some incredible deals.
3) Land Investors Have Virtually No Competition to Deal With.
Are you tired of dealing with such stiff competition on every property you try to buy? Are you sick of getting outbid on every good deal you’re lucky enough to find? Well guess what… there is virtually no competition with land. You see most real estate investors have their minds stuck on: “houses”, “apartments”, “commercial property”, because that’s what everyone else does. Most investors don’t understand the superior benefits of land and this can definitely play to your advantage.
4) Land Investors Call Their Own Shots.
When you buy vacant land the right way, it’s easy to buy each property with your own cash and completely avoid dealing with banks and mortgage companies.
5) Land is Very Inexpensive to Own as a Long-Term Investment.
When you buy a piece of land for the right price, there are no mortgage payments to make, no utility bills to pay, the cost of property insurance is nominal (if you have it at all) and property taxes are extremely cheap. If you want to park your cash somewhere and forget about it, vacant land could be exactly the investment vehicle you’re looking for.
6) Land Gives its Owner Peace of Mind.
Think about it – land is a long-term, tangible asset that doesn’t wear out, doesn’t depreciate, and nothing can get broken, stolen or destroyed. Put all of these benefits together with your ability to buy it for next-to-nothing… and can you think of a better combination?
