Getting Raw Land - Not a Raw Deal!
by Dan Auito
There is more to buying raw land than meets the eye and more than a few individuals have wished they'd had a second chance upon finding themselves duped, conned, misled, ill-advised, uninformed, oversold, undereducated and often unprepared. They realize, often too late, that a raw land purchase should be properly investigated, evaluated and negotiated using a logical and rational plan. Full Article

Investing in Raw Land
An interesting article from Financial Web
Happy Thanksgiving to everyone from all of us at BuyWisconsinLand.com
If you were to take a poll of one hundred or even a thousand real estate investors, you'd likely come up with just about that many ways of doing things. This drives home the point that real estate investing is not an exact science; indeed, there are laws, procedures, theories and probabilities to contend with, but a concept just as important as all these that must be factored in is the human element.

Those beginning the process of purchasing land usually have a general idea of how they plan to pay for the investment.

Some may simply not understand the process or what they can afford. Following is a brief explanation of the most commonly used methods to fund land transactions. continue

Media Thinks You Should Buy Land
New York Times – “The real estate market may have cooled, but investor demand may soon be heating up for at least one type of property: land.”
www.Bloomberg.com – “…farmland is having its biggest revival in almost 30 years as demand for corn and soybeans from Asia and the ethanol industry drive commodity prices to record highs. From Iowa to South Dakota to Wyoming, gains in rural land prices have ranged from 78 percent to more than 200 percent.”
www.DailyWealth.com – “Timberland has actually beaten the stock market since 1960 (as far back as data goes). Stocks did extremely well in that time… up nearly 12% a year. But the total return on timberland was even better, at nearly 14%. Another nice thing is timber is completely uncorrelated to the stock market. It makes sense… the trees have never heard of the Nasdaq bubble… and they don’t know what a War on Terror is.”

Thinking of a Vacation or Retirement Home?
Maybe you’ve found the perfect vacation spot you know you’ll always come back to. Maybe the noise of the city has become too loud. Or maybe you just want a place to getaway from it all you can call your own.
Some very simple guidelines can help make your purchase of a vacation or retirement home a happy experience, and get you the property you’ve been dreaming of.
First, set your budget. There is nothing worse than finding the perfect place, only to find it’s out of reach.
Second, decide what you want to use the property for. Is this just a getaway for the weekends? A summer retreat? A hunting base camp? If so, you may not require every creature comfort. But if you plan to retire here, you may want to be sure it has all the amenities of your current home.
And speaking of amenities: Third, know the area. You can find a beautiful home, but what about shopping, medical facilities, garbage disposal, etc. You should make a list of all the things you want to be near: towns, lakes, hunting areas, attractions.
And lastly, remember this is a home purchase. You may want a home inspection to make sure everything is in good working order.
A good Realtor can help you with this. Be sure to check out the listings at BuyWisconsinLand.com for all our recreational and hunting properties, or drop us a line at property@buywisconsinland.com and tell us what you are looking for.

Recreational Property = Investment
Have you thought about your investment portfolio? Did you take a hit in the stock market? What about buying land?
Check out what this Australian blogger has to say about "Property or Shares - what's best".
“As a general rule in Australia, houses don’t get half their value wiped out overnight”.
However, everything must be done in moderation. Shares can be an excellent income supplement to help you service your loans if managed correctly. The trick is to diversify your investment portfolio and not put all your eggs in the one basket. At the end of the day however, my opinion is that houses win hands down. Let explain why.
Lets say that I go out and buy a property and my mate Roy buys shares. Now lets asume that at the time we both have $40,000 cash (as a deposit) to invest..er I wish :) For a property, banks will loan up to 90% (sometimes 100%) and for shares they will generally loan up to 60%. With my deposit of 40k I can borrow 360 k (90%) therefore 400k in total to invest in property. Roy with his 40k can borrow 60k (60%) therefore 100k to invest in shares." more
Vacation property and recreational land can do the same for your portfolio. And better still you get to enjoy them. Go hunting, hiking, camping, fishing, bird watching, ATVing, cross country skiing - well, the choice is yours! Big acreage or small parcel, land will always be an asset you can appreciate.
Picture yourself here: The woods, the water, the hills, the sky.
Now that's investing!
