I give to their Go Fund Me every year on April 15th whether I want to or not. They won't get another dollar from me this year.

Nothing I can do bout markets tomorrow but I can wake up with smile on my face an have a really good day regardless. Have home , plenty toys, hunting land , huge garden , good wife and couple good dogs . And been debt free for yrs . I’m really starting invest in trying live off grid best I can . Any thing I can grow, kill an preserve I’m doing it . Whatever I invest in 401k or personal rothIRA I try put same amount in savings or cd . But mostly I’m investing in knowledge to make it if thing s get really bad .

I only buy most land based on life sustaining elements, I do recreate on it though. A few were based on nice summertime temperatures and the lack of horse flies, deer flies, and yellow flies, winter temps are never a factor for me.

Being next to large tracts of uninhabited land public or private is a great attraction for me. One of my best finds was 40 acres inside Buffalo River NP in Arkansas. Since I grew up a barefoot poacher in Alabama, I call this technique “force multiplication” 🤣😂🤣😂 yo land is my land !

Have two places like that here in Texas that butt up to a State Park and when I want to go on that property I go online and get a day pass but I never enter through the front gate. 😂🤣😂🤣😂

Mine has almost doubled in value for just the dirt since they parcels were bought in 2015, 2019, and 2021. Local and regional comps have confirmed this for me. Most of it is excellent wet weather logging, but I'd likely do better keeping a sawhead out of it to retain the aesthetics and the current recreational aspects. As eclipse mentioned, ive been able to combine the two categories. This is recreational land until it needs to become investment real estate. Value and/or situational needs triggers which category it falls under at any given moment.

That story sounds familiar .

On another site we discussed they were gonna bring it down on Trump back then. Obama had run rampant pumping the banks and so did trump. Trump just has so much momentum it wouldn’t crash we guessed.

The bubble is pretty big. Lots of franchises going belly up while heavy in debt from what I’m reading. I’m seeing business that sell toys pushing hard sales right now. Brings back memories of 07-08. Of fuel prices pike it’s on I bet.

Wife checked on ours today. I’m sick again. Starting to wonder why we pay a financial advisor

In 08 I lost some sorta hybrid annuity worth guaranteed $250k but should’ve been worth more I was told. For a myriad of reasons that’s all gone. So is the guy managing those accounts, he’s in the fed poky.

My wife’s, now ours, lost 60-70% in 08 and we didn’t get it back to where it was for about 6 years. Did great until the last few days. Were. Down again and about to retire in the next few years.

He just don't know...I can assure you u can make a lot of money on land if your patient

You’re painting with a mighty broad brush.
The information you posted above is about like comparing pine pulpwood prices statewide.
I can assure you that “the numbers on my computer screen” prove your statement to be false.
It’s no different than any other investment, you have to know how and when to buy and sell.
Just like some folks have other investments figured out, other folks have land/timber figured out.

We just know what works for us. 😉

So Okatuppa is Whild Bill?

Don’t you put that mojo on me. 😁

And there's always location, location, location when dealing in real estate . When someone says timber in Alabama , the thought is automatically pine . The top right corner has high grade hardwood. I reckon they don't even teach hardwood at AU.
