There certainly is much land for sale in Colorado. I have found property in the San Luis Valley to sell for little. It is also about eight hours away from a Denver (a big city). Lots of the land is off the grid; no power, sewer, water, phone. This land may or may not be a good price.\nPrices vary from 4,000 to 35,000 per acre or more the closer to Denver.

The stock market is ok, however look into managed foriegn exchange. There is a great company called Compass Financial Solutions located in Lakewood, CO. Totally ligite.\nAlso, look into a homebased business. The best one I have seen in my last 25 years is YTB International. It is a travel business. I am involved and it has been incredible!I no longer work for anyone else. You have to check it out. www.novaktravel.com and www.howifiredmyboss.com, you won't be disappointed.

No, in Florida the prices of land are skyrocketed. Land can only go up so much and we are at its highest peak. If you purchase land to sell in 2 months you will make no profit because the prices are so high. Wait until the land goes down and then invest.! Good Luck

It's pretty expensive (for Texas), being that about 9.30 acres are going for around 2.6 million.  I don't see anything close to 35 acres selling around there.  Good luck!

There are a few co's out there.  Do a search on "site acquisition" or "landholders AND tower".

I was looking at investing in Goa but boy is it a kettle of fish. First, if you are a NRI, meaning non resident Indian you get dinged here and there and then some more. There are so many laws about foreigners owning property you will need a good lawyer who speaks perfect English, Hindi and have some people in their office that speaks a few other languages as well. India is booming so fast right now you will have to get while the getting is good. And also, just so you know...this is the land of bribes..you still have to grease palms. Also if you do invest be careful about the deed. One place we looked at and almost bought had this snag in the deed, The guy selling it to us had the deed yes...but how it works is there could be 40 people on the deed, cousins, third cousins etc...they all have to agree to sell and sign, problem being is that a lot of land was passed down on verbal contract. So you could buy the property, be doing your thing and 5 years down the road they can drag you into court and actually win because the property was illegally sold. Just make sure you do your homework or you can get royally screwed.

That would depend on how big the mountain is,and what time of year you'd be climbing it.A good idea is to buy a walking magazine like TGO or TRAIL to get some tips and ideas.

I wouldn't suggest it unless you are buying a home that you intend to live in for a long time, not for an investment. California is beautiful, but it's so overinflated. I believe that people will continue to buy in California, even if the "bubble" burts because it's such a great place to live, but I don't think the houses are going to increase at the pace they have in the past few years. It will have to correct itself.\n\nIf you are just looking for an investment, consider Phoenix, Tucson or Las Vegas. They are the ones that are increasing so fast now. \n\nI would recommend that anyone check out Rancho Sahuarita. It's south of Tucson, a planned community that is like a resort area. Houses are very well priced, especially compared to California, and they expect the area to quadruple in size over the next 15 years. The community is really, really nice, all new homes in several different price ranges. It's extremely family oriented, only 19 minutes from Tucson but not at all like Tucson (this is a small community of about 17,000 people right now). It has it's own water park, lake, rec center and community activities that are private...just for people who live in Rancho Sahuarita. There is a commercial center (small) built like a town sqauare and condusive to walking. Their are hiking trails and wide sidewalks an one or two active adult designated areas. It's close to shopping, a 6 screen theater, bowling, plus the culture of Tucson, the University of Arizona, Madera Canyon and more. \n\nAlthough I don't live there (I live in nearby Green Valley, an active adult community), I'm thinking of going in with my daughter to purchase a home as an investment for me and to privide a chance for her to live in her own home. She lives in California and can't buy a house there. She's a single mom and could never afford to buy in California. She's planning to move in July. \n\nYou should check it out. There is information on line.

Yes you got to invest wisely, they provide with the information required.  You got to also understand the costing that will occur to finally occupy the property and timeline to get the property  See their site johnbecland.com

I do not urge you to buy it for investment unless you want to move there,I do not trust the Government there.The only place that you can be safe to own a home and land is in U.S. and the rest take a hike because the government ownes everything and it can take over your home any time.( By law)

It depends. Now is always a good time to buy a house if it's going to be your primary residence. Not only is owning going to take you out of paying rent and probably someone else's mortgage...there are tax benefits as well. There is no better feeling than ownership. It is also a way to force savings (when you pay principle)\n\nIf you are planning on buying a house for speculation or investment/rental...I'd probably hold off. People who are buying and flipping properties are creating this "bubble".\n\nI just heard on NewsTalk radio that there were 8000 homes for sale in the Phoenix area about 6-12 months ago...and right now there's over 20,000.

I WOULD TRY AND INVEST IT. POSSIBLY TRY AND GET REALESTATE PROPERTY. I WOULD WANT TO SEE WHAT REALESTATE  THE GOV. HAD FOR SALE. FORCLOSURES GOOD DEALS ON THAT KIND OF LAND

Don't listen to idiots who tell you to play with stocks. I don't believe in investing in common shares of anything. Use your money to buy land. \nWith decent credit and $20k liquid cash you are able to control around $200,000+- worth of property.. \n  \n       Buy large parcels of land and parcel it out. \nYou can usually at least double your money that way.\nMake sure you do some research and see that zoning will allow it,\n    If that doesn't work out you could always flip residential property.

The maximum federal tax on long term capital gain is 15%. I don't know what the New Mexico rates are. Generally real property is not subject to a sales tax like buying a shirt would be.\nUnder current law the 15% gains rate is set to go back to 20% after 2009.\nTo lower your gain you would have to spend money on iimprovements. This is generally a bad move unless you can increase the sale price of the land by what it cost to improve it. \nAssuming the NM tax rate is 5% I would suggest not doing anything to laower the tax since you are already keeping 80% of each dollar you get for selling. A great deal compared to a similar amount of wage income.

Homes in Texas appreciate at a rate of 3%-4% per year.  In Dallas and Fort Worth, homes generally appreciate at a rate of up to 6% per year.  The Scenery Hills addition has some nice homes and is an established neighborhood.  The property values appear to have increased over the last couple of years, or have remained steady, depending on the home.  \n\nIf one purchases a home and years later, he/she has done no updating, doesn't take care of the home, or the location is no longer desirable, then that will certainly affect the value of the home, and in the case of location, might affect the value of every home in the subdivision, depending on what the circumstances are that made the area undesirable.\n\nAs far as markets that are "better off" around Fort Worth, try the City of Mansfield, located in southeast Tarrant County.\n\nI'm confused though, as you first indicated you "just purchased" a home and later indicate that you want to make sure you're "making a correct decision."  If you purchased the home, the decision has already been made, as you now own the home.  If you just submitted an offer to a seller and haven't closed, then you haven't "just purchased" the home. \n\nAnyway, good luck to you!

It really depends on the area. Usually it will cost less if you buy the land, but not always the case.\n\nFor instance, in Orland you could get about twice the size of house if you bought the land and built the house. The reason was they were not being built inside of a community and the builders were not adding to the cost of the land to make more money.\n\nJust be careful and make sure to get a really good contractor to take care of everything for you.
