As we all know there is limited amount of Vacant Land left. Particularly in the Greater Los Angeles area there is less and less of it available. I have been selling these investment lots for over 13+ years it takes a long time to sell, it is not as liquid as Stock, nevertheless I never had anyone loose money on it. Every one has increased their net worth over the years. Including in today's economic times, I found it to be a solid investment.

 The value has been solid and not volatile.  Can you build a home on it? It does not pencil out yet, since you have to build a road to the land. If you accumulate enough parcels, where you can build 3-4 homes then you can divide the cost of the road amongst the homes and then it will pencil out.

 If you like to buy for long term investments, this is the safest way to go. This is better then Gold, Silver or Stocks, since there is no volatility. If you are interested get in touch with me.

If I were to recive 15k for purchasing a home back on my taxes that would motivate me to upgrade and turn my current home into a rental.

 

Even if I didn't get the tax credit I would still put it in Real Estate rather than stocks. I don't know enough about stocks to venture in those murky waters.

Arthur, I totally agree with you Real Estate is a long term safe bet. I have clients who retired at age 50 by having enough rental property to generate more income then if they worked.
