DOES BUYING LAND HELP HEDGE YOUR MONEY AGAINST INFLATION?
YES — if you buy the right land at the right price.
Think about it this way...
If you have $500,000 sitting in cash while inflation is running 4%, (On a good day) that money is losing purchasing power every year.
Land is different.
They aren't making any more of it.
Good land is a finite, tangible asset that can appreciate while also giving you multiple ways to make your money work.
Timber
I Hunting leases
66 Farming income ~ Development potential
Improvements that increase the property's value
Simple inflation that's considered appreciation of value when you own it
As the dollar loses purchasing power, the lack of timber being replanted, construction, rent, farming and other goods generally increases. Those same things can help push the value and income potential of good land higher over time.
But here's the important part...
Not all land is a good investment.
You still have to buy the RIGHT property at the RIGHT price. Location, access, road frontage, soils, topography, water, timber, development potential and surrounding growth all matter.
That's one of the reasons LAND will always be an appreciative asset.
You're taking money out of dollars and putting it into a finite physical asset that you can improve, use, generate income from and sell for more due to the fact that inflation is appreciation if you own what's inflating down the road.
Buy the right land. Buy it right. And KEEP BUYING LAND!
