Land Investment

Property investment has always been a popular form of investing, but fluctuations in the real estate market and the demanding challenges of many types, such as rental developments, have made many people wary of investing.  Developed property does pose some unique investment challenges; the demand for a certain type of development can change drastically in a short period of time, making it a riskier investment over the “blank slate” that undeveloped land offers.  Land tends to be a safer investment, and further, can offer higher overall returns on the initial investment. This makes land investment a better choice for many investors that are looking for investment, such as those using their investments to provide for their retirement.

Land investment is often a more affordable investment, as well.  While developed property typically requires at least a 10% down payment, land can be secured for as little as 5% by qualified buyers.  This can give you greater leverage, and increase the rate of return.  The less actual cash you invest, the greater your returns on a value increase you can realize.  For people interested in investing that don’t have a huge amount of money to put down, land investment can be the perfect solution.

There are a few key factors to consider when embarking on land investment in order to realize the most success.  Location, of course, is one of the most important factors.  By investing in land in developing markets where real estate is steadily increasing in value, you stand a better chance of generating a large return.  One of the fastest growing markets in the country is in the South Atlantic area, particularly in Florida and North and South Carolina.  Because of the region’s popularity with retirees, estimates show that as many as 50 million people could move to the area in the next 20 years.  Such a large influx of new residents will put a huge demand on property.  By investing now in such a potential-rich market, you can start your investment at a much lower cost before prices begin to rise accordingly.  All signs point to huge hikes in property values so investing now makes sense.

When land begins to get scarce, real estate developers will be eagerly scouring the market for good land for their developments.  Many developers are so eager to purchase pre-construction properties that they’ll cover mortgage payments for up to two years.  This means you can buy with a low down payment, make no mortgage payments for two years, watch the property’s value rise, and sell at a significant return on your initial investment.
