This is why People Buy Hunting Land in the Black Belt of West Alabama. - 03/31/10 01:23 PM
Why buy hunting land in the Black Belt region of West Alabama? Because that is where the big deer and wild turkeys are!
This deer is a great example of how big white-tailed deer can grow in our area. This big buck was taken during the late rut in January 2010 by my brother-in-law, Chris Hutlzler, at Foothills down in south Perry County, Alabama. This non-typical 11-point scored 159 3/8", and had grown-up in the soybean fields on this 3000 acre farm / hunting outfit.
The Black Belt of west Alabama, and particulary Perry County, is world-renowned for its outstanding hunting. People … (1 comments)

Flying Squirrels- Reason #1036 to Buy Land in Alabama - 03/26/10 09:46 PM

Why do I recommend buying rural land in Alabama?

It's crunch time. The property is under contract, and you're headed to the closing table. Some hiccup from the other side springs up and could possibly delay, or worse, derail the transaction.

These properties represent life savings, dreams, inheritances, and a host of other emotions and connections … (4 comments)

Residential and Commercial Realtors, do you know where to do an online search for rural properties in your area? If you just said your MLS, and you limit your search to only what is found there, then you are probably missing out on a significant number of land listings.

Have an "Exit Strategy" when buying Rural Land - 03/17/10 01:01 PM
When meeting with potential buyers of rural property, I always encourage them to buy with an "exit strategy". What I mean, is for them to purchase a property that other people would find desirable in the event they ever decide to or are forced into selling. In my opinion being able to get out from under a property if necessary is an extremely important consideration before buying.
