Yeah, I imagine you would have to be pretty wealthy to afford land something close to this checklist near Los Angeles.
What's perplexing is land is still quite expensive near Edomonton considering that we are near tundra out here. It is a bad combination of low interest rates, high farming commodity prices and too much oil money that keep land prices high.
We thought of moving far away but this is were our friends and family live and after much thought we realized it would just be too lonely and also hard without them.
I hear ya'. Thinking about buying an investment property towards the end of the year in Lancaster, CA. Will be my first property. Going to look for a duplex and benefit from being owner-occupied. Once I've paid some off going to venture out and move into that homestead. I definitely need to visit Canada.
I like the idea of a duplex. It's great to have some help paying the bills and building some extra equity.
