One of the best avenues of investment right now is one which all of us see, but very few actually realize the opportunity, land. Across the nation there are lands for sale from small fields for grazing to tiny square patches of land. We have seen time and time again over the years just how profitable land can be and there are so many reasons as to why this makes for such a smart investment. There aren’t many people who understand the true value of owning land and here are just a few reasons why you should genuinely think about investing the next time that you see some land up for grabs.
No Effort
Once you have bought a piece of land you do not have to worry about making it look pretty with renovations, nor do you need to know a single thing about construction. The reason is that once you buy land you can simply leave it, you don’t need to do anything, you don’t need to give it your time, you just buy it and let it be. You may think that you should be buying land with an idea to construct on top of it but this really isn’t the case and the only thing that you need to make sure of is that someone can build upon the land, even if that person isn’t you.
Motivation
You can get some great deals on land because the majority of people who are trying to sell land will be doing so because they don’t live anywhere near it and that they simply want to get rid of it as soon as possible. These people are likely not interested about doing anything with the land or they perhaps don’t know how to make money from it, so they are after a quick sale which could see you paying pennies on the dollar!
Competition
As we mentioned at the beginning there are many people who have no idea how profitable land buying can be and that means that you are highly unlikely to run into any competition for your land. Most real estate players are too busy with high rise office blocks or luxury accommodation to care about land and that is how you can swoop in and buy up plenty of plots without any competition.
Long Term
There is no rush for you to sell the land or even create something on the land and you can sit on your investment for a very long time without any concerns or financial burdens. For example you could sit on the property for a decade and never have to pay council tax, utility bills or even any insurance if you don’t want to. This means that you can add an asset to your portfolio which really doesn’t ask anything from you.
Next time you look for an investment, land is going to be your best bet.
