How to Acquire Land for Personal Use or Fast Profits
One of the first steps to acquiring land either for personal use of for your own land business, is to learn as much as you can from
someone who has “been there!”
Right off the bat, I want to explain to you that I don’t recommend improving land with roads and streets. I recommend you work with land in
a “simplified manner” which means no paving of streets. I advocate that you keep it simple… and avoid the banks and the big loans!
My techniques can help you acquire land for your personal use and they can also help you acquire land with the thought in mind that you are going to start your own
land business. It doesn’t matter what your interest is, you can benefit from my Simplified Land Techniques.
And in my opinion, there is no better time to get into land than now. The housing market is slowing and you don’t want to get several houses on your hands that you are trying to rehab, and thing slow so that you can’t get them sold quickly. It would be much better to work with land in a manner that one land deal could produce more income than the income on 10 rehabs.
OK, so you have determined what areas of your community are growing and are in demand, and you start looking in those areas. In my opinion, you don’t want to acquire land in a area that is not growing as you will have to sit on it a long time. I don’t advocate having to sit and wait for something to happen. I recommend you get in and out very fast. Unless of course, you are just looking for land for your personal use and are not interested in producing income with land.
Now, how do you select an area to work in? How can you determine the areas that are growing? Well, you could talk with experienced real estate agents or real estate appraisers and you can drive around and see the areas that construction is going on. A very effective way to determine the growth areas is to talk with people who work at title companies as they close real estate transactions all day long and they know what areas are active.
Plus you can talk with people who work at the Tax Appraiser’s office as they certainly know what areas are the most active. So you determine what areas are the most active then move out slightly and start looking for acreage in those areas.
Hope this helps you to start formulating a plan for your land acquisition.
