[QUOTE="bird dog, post: 1542761, member: 5381"] Land should be part of a balanced investment portfolio. It is not risk free but equivalent to a AAA bond fund more or less and usually appreciates at about the same amount. The only risk is that the area will deteriorate because of trashy mobile homes or something like a trash dump moving into the area. I have found through the years that land does not seem to go up in price for years and then will have a short burst where it increases rapidly. It seems we are in that rapidly increasing period now in my area. Another thing that I have noticed, is in an area of large tracts that don't turnover often, one sale will bring up the whole area. This make since, since real estate people use comparables to appraise a piece of property. This is one reason I never trust appraisers. They base the reasoning on sales history in the area, little else. [/QUOTE]
