I still remember the first time I heard about buying vacant land. My reaction was the same as most people’s.

It sure didn’t seem that exciting, and I couldn’t understand how anyone could actually make money from a vacant land property as an investment.

However, part of that “lack of excitement” comes from a lack of understanding of how the land-flipping business works and the huge opportunity it represents.

  1. Me and my wife buy vacant lots all the time and just sit on it. We focus on land we can pay cash for and buy next to large plots of land. When the housing developments come in we sell for 10 times what we paid. Of course sometimes we wait 5 or 6 years before we see a return but we paid cash and taxes on vacant land is cheap

  2. Very informative ! I’m in the Washington D.C. area aka the (DMV) interested in purchasing land to build tiny homes on. The housing crisis is incredible here & homelessness is increasing daily. I want to be part of the solution but I keep hitting a brick wall when trying to navigate the process. Can you help 🤔 ❓

  3. GOD Loved you enough too send His Son JESUS for you and if you will believe in Him and at baptized in THE NAME OF THE FATHER, THE SON and THE HOLY SPIRIT and turn from your sins you will be saved

  4. Correct, land itself does not make money. However with investment and time the land can produce essential goods like food and clothing if you grow cotton or something. Or you could literally just get a bunch solar panels and not use any of their input when connected on grid and you can make money that way.

  5. Seth, been watching you for a while now. I entered my land venture while associating w LA. This is where I came across you. There is a lot to learn, for sure. We acq our first trough a side offer by asking if they had more to sell. It had two homes on two acres. We acq rights to sell through a simple lease opto-buy

  6. If you've paid off your house, it provides an invisible income stream in terms of 'free rent'. There is no income tax to pay on the 'free rent'. This freed-up cash-flow allows you to buy things you might not otherwise afford. If the house is in a desirable neighborhood, it will appreciate year to year (assuming you maintain it) and eventually provide income in the form of a 'capital gain'.

  7. We are already in a big crash Inflation is a catastrophe. This CPI report is a colossal failure. To bring the housing market to a halt, the FED will have to pull all the stops. The unfortunate issue is that other markets are being decimated. If you want to stay green, you have to rely on a lot of diversification. Currently up 14% and being careful. Still a better deal than leaving it in a savings or checking account yielding 0-1 percent interest.

  8. Vacant lots are a little like stocks that do not pay dividends. Land can produce annual income by rents and long term capital gains. As with any long term investment, one needs to be able the cash flow.

  9. Do capital gains apply to land like home capital gains. For example, we can avoid capital gains if you have owned or lived in for more than 2 years. Can we avoid capital gains if you own land for more than 2 years ?

  10. @REtipster: Are you seeing land investors getting 4-5x return for selling property? It seems that most earn 2x but I recently met someone who buys suburban commercial lots in TX and get 4-5x return eg buying lot for $5 and resell for $20-$25k.

  11. If that’s his opinion he could keep believing it. I purchased a piece land a couple months back , it’s already appreciated in price. The next door neighbor who also purchased a lot next to me would consider buying mine. But guess what ? It’s not for sale unless he pays whatever I would sell it for.

  12. One thing my dad told me over 50 years ago, when it comes to land they are not making any more of it.
    And yes land that could be bought basically for peanuts in some areas is worth millions today.
    The secret is having the foresight or luck to have bought in those areas when land was cheap a few decades back and sell it now.

    The was a major reservoir built in the early 1960's and of course surveys showed where the water would end up at full pond.
    You could buy as many waterfront lots back then that you wanted for $1000 apiece.
    My dad wanted to buy 10 lots but my mom was why do you want anything way out there in the middle of nowhere so my dad passed on buying.

    For about the last 25 years or more bare unimproved lakefront lots easily sell for $150,000+ each and some depending on location can bring $250,000+.

    There was another area that there was a junkyard for decades, sort of a rural area that in the last 30 years is one of the most sought after and developed areas in the area both residential and commercial.
    The junkyard is now closed but the property it occupied is now worth millions, it is the last single piece of undeveloped property left on the main drag large enough to build a shopping center on.
    50 YEARS AGO THAT PROPRTY WOULD PROBABLY HAVE NOT BEEN WORTH OVER $50,000

    Land can be a big money maker over the long haul just like my dad said, they are not making any more of it, supply-demand will set the values.

  13. I proudly disagree with you mate. I bought a land and now it plays pivotal role for making my income. Some use their land for agricultural tourism too. Therefore, you talk bullshit.

  14. I’m guessing this could be said about any investment. I recently purchased 5 acres with a house on it . Owned it for 5 years and never rented it . Probably not the smartest thing to do but I personally didn’t want to deal with having a flaky tenant. I double my money with that property. Didn’t use a realtor because I have enough knowledge regarding real estate to do it myself.
