Hide Your Money in Land, The Government is Coming!

Hiding your money in land is a trend we are beginning to see.  It is often said that people with money, people who have worked hard and made wise investments know how to protect their money.
We're beginning to see a trend here in Ocala Florida that is quite interesting, the wisdom of this move remains to be seen.  Currently, there are only a few hundred lots available under $5000 but quietly investors are purchasing these lots at such low prices that it boggles the mind.
It's hard to imagine that just a few short years ago these same lots now selling for $1000-$5000 were selling for $45,000 to $60,000.
Investors, those who prefer to retain their wealth are choosing to risk their money on the possibility of land returning revenue down the road than allowing Uncle Sam to squander their hard earned money on foolishness.
This is a hide and watch situation for curiosity seekers and an interesting proposition for those who need to protect their money, only time will tell if this is the wisdom of the day that will return a profit and protect their money for years to come.

Sara, with lot prices in Ocala Florida dropping to $5K seems to be a great investment to secure a long term investment when lot prices return to an all high and real estate agent to contact is Sara Homan.

Good morning, Sara....they don't make land anymore.... it's a great investment.... does not need management...no tenant issues...just sit and wait....

Bob R., Always appreciate the plug!  Even if the lots double in price it was a great investment.

Bob M., We never knew what our market was going to do back in the early 2000's and we sure don't know the future so it all remains to be seen.

David,  That's the thinking of a wise investor!

Barbara, Ya got a point there :)

would you be at all interested in helping find a buyer for land in panama? we have cut our price more than half its worth, only 6$ a square meter, very cheep. the property is georgeous and in a prime location. canyon edge and mountain views. we are looking to sell quickly due to helth issues and that is why we have dropped the price. land off shore is much better than offshore banks these days. please let me know if you are at all interested and i can send you all the info. someone could even buy it and resell it right away, no need to wait.

thank you for your time.
