rural land: Buy Land in the Path of Progress - 11/30/10 01:52 PM
"Find out where the people are going and buy the land before they get there."----Will Rogers
Ever driven by some piece of land and said I should have bought that land twenty years ago? It happens all the time where we see missed opportunities. Most investors completely overlook raw and vacant land because they think they cannot make any rent or income off the property and so they move on to apartment buildings and office complexes. Another reason land investment buyers do not look at land as a potential for their portfolio is because there is no tax depreciation on vacant … (0 comments)

rural land: Now is the time to List your Land for Sale - 01/05/10 11:13 PM
Have you been thinking about listing your land for sale? Now is the time to start preparing and be ready for the Spring thaw. Even though temperatures are at record lows this week in Kansas buyers are looking. Yes, they really are looking albeit mostly online at this point. Land buyers are picky and have lots of time on their hands. They do not have to buy any time soon except in rare occasions like maybe for a 1031 exchange. They will look for months sometimes even a few years for just the right property.
What does all this mean for you? Don't … (0 comments)

rural land: Kansas Rural Broadband Map - 07/16/09 04:13 PM

This will hopefully help expand services in rural areas in Kansas and greatly help isolated land owners who are sometimes limited to services by either sketchy satellite services or old slow dial up services.
The funding from stimulus packages may help provide opportunities to ensure that Kansas can improve its broadband services throughout the state.

rural land: Now is the time to Buy Land - 06/15/09 04:36 PM
Have you been dreaming of owning a piece of land out in the country, or maybe just a few acres to have a big garden. Buying land is much easier than you think and right now is the perfect time to buy. Market pressure on sellers is making for some great advantages for buyers looking to find land. Rural land prices will go up again soon as many baby boomers begin to retire to small towns and rural area and purchase sites for their future retirement homes.
