Title: From Bush to Gold:The Power of Owing Land Post by: White pawn on December 03, 2025, 03:33:08 PM Come 2026,Invest in Land because it's the One Asset the World Can’t Make More Of.
There’s a popular saying: “Don’t wait to buy land. Buy land and wait.” Why? Because land is the one asset on Earth that is permanently limited.Perhaps,GOD isn't creating more of lands.Every other investment companies, buildings, even cryptocurrencies can increase in supply.But Land is fixed. Imagine your favorite city 10-20 years ago. Think of all the empty spaces, thick bushes, or faraway areas people never cared about. Fast forward to today many of those places are now estates, businesses, highways, shopping centers, and expensive neighborhoods.Someone bought that “empty land” then. Someone else is wishing they did now.The more you delay, someone else takes the spot you should have claimed. Many people think land investment is only for the wealthy but the wealthy became wealthier because they invested early.Because they know the game is ownership not hustle. You buy more gadgets,they keep buying lands. Check this out,the wealthy aren't buying lambos, they're buying acres.Even bill gates is now the biggest farmland owner in the US. Even the government treat it as a cheat code that's why they purchase it,seize it and protect it. The world cannot produce more land, but you can secure your share of the little that exists.Land is not just a purchase it is a legacy,It is security,It is freedom and It is the foundation of wealth. If you want an investment that grows while you sleep,invest in land. Title: Re: From Bush to Gold:The Power of Owing Land Post by: Jawhead999 on December 03, 2025, 03:56:55 PM Many people who get rich through investing in land are lucky, they're hustling for money and use that to buy land, they do it at the right time. That was their best decision, after that they don't really know how to multiply their money.
I don't see it's wrong only the rich can buy land, because that's the reality. Bill gates get rich from his business, not because he make money from buy and sell land. Every other investment companies, buildings, even cryptocurrencies can increase in supply.But Land is fixed. Not entirely correct, Bitcoin is fixed.Title: Re: From Bush to Gold:The Power of Owing Land Post by: iv4n on December 03, 2025, 04:48:35 PM There’s a popular saying: “Don’t wait to buy land. Buy land and wait.” And how long do we need to wait? :) We have got a better saying here: Take a peek at the city/district/state plans for the next 10-20 years. If you know where a new highway will go, where a cemetery will be built, maybe a big industrial zone, or where the next fancy neighborhood will pop up, you will have a huge advantage. You can buy that land at the lowest prices and sell it for the highest when the time comes. But of course, there's a catch... do you know who can actually do those things? :) Title: Re: From Bush to Gold:The Power of Owing Land Post by: Bluedrem on December 03, 2025, 05:08:01 PM Investing in physical assets is profitable, especially in land. To be honest, I prefer land for long-term investment after Bitcoin, gold and silver. Because the prices of the lands around me that I saw being sold at when I was a child have now increased several times. Investing in land is profitable. But there are some river-fed countries where many investors have become destitute due to river erosion. In those countries, the rivers are not under control, and whenever there is erosion, investors who invest in land along the river, that is, by purchasing land along the river, that land gets washed away by river erosion, resulting in huge losses for the investor. If you want to invest in anything after land, then you should definitely invest in Bitcoin because like land, it also has a fixed supply of Bitcoin and it is gradually becoming a popular currency, as a result of which its value is also increasing day by day.
Title: Re: From Bush to Gold:The Power of Owing Land Post by: Alone055 on December 03, 2025, 05:50:54 PM Well, it's not like we wait to buy a land or a property because we are waiting for a specific time, but we don't do it because we can't afford it. I don't think anyone in this world would hesitate to buy land or properties if they have the necessary resources for it. The real estate industry is not for everyone, because there are big whales who are constantly buying and selling, constructing new places that they can either rent or sell, and they cover a big market share. So, someone can only buy land and benefit from this opportunity if they have enough resources for it.
The reason why so many people choose other investment assets instead of real estate is because even to get started in this industry, you need a good enough capital, but to start investing in other industries, like in cryptocurrencies, you can start with as low as $10. So this affordability and flexibility is the reason why people choose them more than bigger investment industry despite the fact that the other industries have more potential for growth in the long run because they can't have more supply, etc. :) Title: Re: From Bush to Gold:The Power of Owing Land Post by: Cryptohygenic on December 03, 2025, 06:40:56 PM Yes it is true that more lands are not going to be created but more lands which has not been tempered or used are being discovered and are we have forests far away from our residents which are evaluated very cheaply or even worthless for any one to even agree to buy it at a specific time due to undevelopment within the axis like dormant value.
It only takes those who have spare funds to buy lands in such places as the distance to human occupying places is not even encouraging for farming. So those are like more discovering lands. Though would be very Valuable in due times but we can still buy them and hodl for generations inheritance.

You can buy that land at the lowest prices and sell it for the highest when the time comes. But of course, there's a catch... do you know who can actually do those things? :) In my country, the government publishes its long-term and short-term development plans. You can easily go to government offices and apply to see the master plan for infrastructural development in your area. People sometimes conclude that investing in land is not risky. That's not true because the government can easily change its developmental plans. Wars, natural disasters, and other uncertainties could make landed properties worthless. The world cannot produce more land, but you can secure your share of the little that exists.Land is not just a purchase Lands can be reclaimed from river bodies, although it's expensive. Lands could be a profitable asset in areas that are facing an increase in population. A high birth rate or high immigrants coming in could be a good sign to acquire land. But you have to do a proper business plan before buying because some land could be worthless. Lands in areas that are going through depopulation could lose value easily. Some towns in Europe are selling houses for a cheap as one dollar (https://www.cnbc.com/2025/04/04/penne-italy-one-euro-home-program.html). This is because people are leaving these towns and there are many abandoned houses. it is a legacy,It is security,It is freedom and It is the foundation of wealth. If you want an investment that grows while you sleep,invest in land. Title: Re: From Bush to Gold:The Power of Owing Land Post by: Fortify on December 03, 2025, 08:33:00 PM The trouble is many assets actually increase in value much faster than land appreciates and land comes with it's own host of issues. As you get richer land is definitely something that you will diversify into, but most people can only afford to pay a mortgage and do a little bit of extra investing on the side - not enough to buy any sizable piece of land. Not only that, you will have to actively protect the land, as some criminals might try to use it as a dumping ground or it might get taken over by an invasive species which you can be required to remove at your cost. You might have also missed the memo that places like Dubai, China and Singapore are actually making more land by building it up around their coast lines.

I don't know how it sounds but the availability of land here on Earth has not been developed even one third of it, the world cannot produce more land, there is no doubt about that but the availability of the one we have, we've not been able to occupy and harness it to the fullest, there is mass availability of land anywhere in the world, for the next 1,000 years there will be no panic of acquisition of land and where to develop, because there still will be enough space. So this idea of grapping a land or owning a land with a fire brigade approach, makes it look strange to me. There’s a popular saying: “Don’t wait to buy land. Buy land and wait.” Why? Because land is the one asset on Earth that is permanently limited.Perhaps,GOD isn't creating more of lands.Every other investment companies, buildings, even cryptocurrencies can increase in supply.But Land is fixed.

Title: Re: From Bush to Gold:The Power of Owing Land Post by: mrust_mobile on December 03, 2025, 08:43:43 PM Having land is always a good investment but it is not a priority if you aren’t rich already. Say you have $10k to make investments, would you buy just land with that money? Are there even any land for sale for that price? To me, it means you are not ready to invest in land yet. First grow your money in stocks and crypto, only then make real estate investments. Some people might argue against it but my logic says this is the right path to follow. Grow first, stabilize later. It is also why most investors tell young people to invest in growth stocks when they are still young and then switch to dividend payers as they get older. Pretty much the same logic. Real estate is for old, wealthy people. Growth stocks and crypto is for the young people. Of course that doesn’t mean old people shouldn’t invest in crypto. They very well can do it and enjoy huge returns.
Title: Re: From Bush to Gold:The Power of Owing Land Post by: DPHOR on December 03, 2025, 09:02:21 PM The most important thing should be having the capital that it require to buy the land, to be frank investment are easier to make when there is money but, when there is no money they can only be wishing without it coming to reality.
For all these things to come to reality they need capital as all investments today needs capital to start up, you can't actually think that someone would have to invest on land without them having the required money to invest on that land. Title: Re: From Bush to Gold:The Power of Owing Land Post by: Mhizlove on December 03, 2025, 09:09:47 PM You're speaking the facts, you see land is a great asset because every other things will increase but land don't multiply or duplicate rather the places that was covered with Bush years back will later have enough value today because someone bought a little piece as at that time don't mean he will not hit it big today.
Rich people don't makes noise, they rather collects assets that have value. Also these lands are be guarded by the government because it's like a treasure due to it's high value. I will advice for you as a young person, you should think, go for something with long term, things that adds value and not things that losses it's value easily or quick. Land isn't just a property that is owned but it's lagacy, and wealth that grows gradually or quietly. Title: Re: From Bush to Gold:The Power of Owing Land Post by: Gost ms on December 04, 2025, 06:21:39 AM Investing in land is good, but there are many risks in investing in land. For example, if there is any mistake in the land documents or if someone takes over your invested land, you can have many problems. There can be many problems in investing in land.
But if you invest in Bitcoin, you will not have any such problems. Bitcoin will never increase. The supply of Bitcoin is very limited. If you hold Bitcoin for a long time, you can profit. Because the number of people who are currently moving towards Bitcoin and the demand for Bitcoin is increasing, Bitcoin has now changed to a digital asset. If a person invests in Bitcoin, it will be better for them than investing in land. Title: Re: From Bush to Gold:The Power of Owing Land Post by: Nightwalker(NW) on December 04, 2025, 07:22:41 AM Having land is always a good investment but it is not a priority if you aren’t rich already.

They very well can do it and enjoy huge returns. Yes you are correct and I think we are mostly thinking the same... Taking the statistics of people who made investment on cryptocurrency and bitcoin entirely you would see that the majority of them are younger people than the older.Of course anyone can invest on whatever they feels like investing but then, as a young teenage going for investment that would be that productive is more better that investing on something that could take several years to make profits, while bitcoin could give that such amount in during bull run if they invested at the bear market. It is just a simple logic that someone should be that smart and creatives before venturing into such land investment. Title: Re: From Bush to Gold:The Power of Owing Land Post by: davis196 on December 04, 2025, 07:49:57 AM You do understand that fertile land can get exhausted, if not treated properly. ;D Climate change might also bring some kind of negative impact. Droughts and floods will become more common, if we trust the climate change "doom and gloom" prophets.
Do you plan to grow crops and build a farm, or you want to rent the land to a farmer? Do you plan to buy the land and just leave it? I know that buying land is a good investment, but I'm simply not interested in dealing with all the stuff around farming and agriculture. What if you buy land in a country, where the government suddenly decides to nationalize all lands? Communists can still win elections in some parts of the world.

Thank you for op for this topic. Land they say is a fixed. And there is no doubt on the prosperity of land acquisition. However it is also important as humans to understand common sense is not common. Haven't said this. The main purpose of life investment is what will serve as pension to us in our old age. As young people we are. It is important to put necessary effort There’s a popular saying: “Don’t wait to buy land. Buy land and wait.” Why?

If you want an investment that grows while you sleep,invest in land. To enable us enjoy our old age and have a good life. In other words.land investment is a long time investment as such to me it is important to invest with the amount we can afford to loose at the moment. And also ensure our emergency fund is not been tempered life is precious as such we need regular income to maintain a good heathy living. Among all. Why we invest to earn money in near future. Let's not forget that we are responsible for our good healthy living untill we grow old to enjoy other accrued wealth. Yo must have a stable source of income to be able to invest on humongous investment that will stay 10 to 15 years before yielding good money. Stay safe as you care for ur health such is capable to a certain long age. Title: Re: From Bush to Gold:The Power of Owing Land Post by: Solodoski on December 04, 2025, 09:13:11 AM I have always believed in investing in land, because I believe is the most secured asset anyone can own. Land also appreciate daily, you can not purchase a property for a "x" price today and still sell it at the same "x" price the next day, it will definitely appreciate. I know some people call it an old investment, but I still believe in it. I just think it's an investment that has to do with a lot of patience, because it's a long time investment, that will definitely yield you profit in the long run, that's if you are patient enough. I will definitely advice anyone that is ready to listen to invest in property, because they will definitely appreciate it in the long run.
Title: Re: From Bush to Gold:The Power of Owing Land Post by: jcojci on December 04, 2025, 10:43:10 AM The price of land is not cheap even in remote areas. Not many people have that money to buy so they need to think about other ways to save. Land can make you a lot of money if you buy in the right place. But you need to think about when your land areas start to grow, the taxes will increase. If you don't prepare the money to pay the tax, that will give you trouble.
Young generations should consider the right investment for themselves. Mostly needs to work harder than others until they can make a lot of money and buy some land. So Bitcoin was presented and offers a solution for those who want to invest. They can use their salary to buy Bitcoin and accumulating and sell it at a high price so they can use the profit to buy a land. That will be good for them because they get the right solution to get land. Title: Re: From Bush to Gold:The Power of Owing Land Post by: Roseline492 on December 04, 2025, 10:59:21 AM Land can make you a lot of money if you buy in the right place. But you need to think about when your land areas start to grow, the taxes will increase. If you don't prepare the money to pay the tax, that will give you trouble. Do you mean that when you purchase land you will have to be paying taxes on those land even when they're still empty and no house has been built on it?, if that's how you guys pay in your country then a lot of people might not be acquiring lands for keeping till they're ready because I can't buy land and be spending additional money for tax when I have not seen the profit is going to give me, however we don't pay taxes for land even if you have 20 or more lands you are not going to be ask to pay taxes because is property you acquired and even if you build a house and keeps it for renting you are still not going to pay taxes for those I have seen.

Buy land and wait.” Why? Because land is the one asset on Earth that is permanently limited. Quote Imagine your favorite city 10-20 years ago.

Fast forward to today many of those places are now estates, businesses, highways, shopping centers, and expensive neighborhoods.Someone bought that “empty land” then. if you want to buy land, note that not all land is a wise investment property. not all land will be used to build businesses complex or cities so make sure to pick where businesses would want to build in.Title: Re: From Bush to Gold:The Power of Owing Land Post by: Bazzu on December 04, 2025, 12:25:10 PM The price of land is now very expensive. So, in order to buy a plot of land, it takes more effort and a time-consuming process of saving money. And I think many of us here have realized how important it is to buy land. However, very few are able to do so.
I personally also aspire to own a large piece of land, but I realize that it takes a process to get there. Therefore, I started by working and wanted to build a business, increase my income, and so on. Then I saved and invested in risky assets or similar things. And once I have enough money, I will also buy more land. I personally already own a piece of land that I purchased. However, it is not very large. I have long realized that owning more land could also help me achieve financial freedom someday by relying on income from what grows on that land or something similar, provided that the land is managed well or planted with highly beneficial crops that are in demand in the market, where the crops planted are trees that bear fruit in the long term. I often think about this. Title: Re: From Bush to Gold:The Power of Owing Land Post by: DanWalker on December 04, 2025, 12:28:59 PM I don't see it's wrong only the rich can buy land, because that's the reality. Bill gates get rich from his business, not because he make money from buy and sell land. Most of today's top billionaires like Gate, Elon, Mark and many other millionaires became rich through business, intelligence and their relentless efforts. None of them became rich by investing in financial assets like real estate, gold, stocks. Most of them become rich through business and then become financial investors to maintain and increase their assets. Likewise, most of the wealthy in society are largely in business and combine different investment and work models. So we should also stop dreaming that we can get rich just by real estate, bitcoin or any investment. If we want to be rich, we must work, learn, expand our skills, build something of value. Don't be under any illusion that bitcoin or real estate will make us rich. Title: Re: From Bush to Gold:The Power of Owing Land Post by: knowngunman on December 04, 2025, 12:59:43 PM And how long do we need to wait? :) As long as possible I guess ;D Quote We have got a better saying here: Take a peek at the city/district/state plans for the next 10-20 years. If you know where a new highway will go, where a cemetery will be built, maybe a big industrial zone, or where the next fancy neighborhood will pop up, you will have a huge advantage. You can buy that land at the lowest prices and sell it for the highest when the time comes. But of course, there's a catch... do you know who can actually do those things? :) Everyone is now a financial advisor. They're quick to give a hint on investment plan but failed to discuss the risk it possess. Land is actually a good investment plan if you work with the right people. The ROI is very low and you'll have to wait for as many years as possible to make huge profits. Some places take forever to develop while some places developed quickly. If you're not rich, believe me you can not afford to buy land in a quickly developed areas. Some places are vulnerable to natural disasters, your investment will turn to regret if you fall into such area. Falling on high way or cemetery will come with little or no compensation from government. No investment is risk free, investment wisely. Title: Re: From Bush to Gold:The Power of Owing Land Post by: Uhwuchukwu53 on December 04, 2025, 01:02:08 PM Op well all investor don't succeed through land buying, today in our own parts of the country where policy and laws most time can change buying of land and waiting is very risky, there is many revocation of land today by government that have render land holder or buyers poverty, while some die as resulted shock, they can't bear from their losses. Even many bank today due to revocation of land has beginning to avoid taking land and property like building as collateral, example many today who owns landed property in area like Abuja,Lagos in Nigeria in area government revoked has Lost entirely everything as the government is never ready and willing to pay any compensation despite you having approved certificate of Occupancy.
With my little experience, land investment today mostly in my nation need more strategic planning and better idea else one will run into losses, there are other business which yeild more profit than land investment all is having the required knowledge towards that direction, if they count on the statistics of billionaire who succeeded and their means if success only few can be pointed towards Land.

You're poor, you can't do anything, and you only see a limited view of the business game.Title: Re: From Bush to Gold:The Power of Owing Land Post by: abhiseshakana on December 04, 2025, 01:42:02 PM Many people think land investment is only for the wealthy but the wealthy became wealthier because they invested early.Because they know the game is ownership not hustle. Yes, land is a prestigious asset, but not everyone is financially prepared to hold land long-term. Behind land ownership as an opportunity to multiply wealth, there are liquidity obligations such as taxes, legalities, and maintenance. Therefore, buying land is only suitable for those who have fulfilled their basic financial needs, including a 6-12 month emergency fund, protection (health/life insurance) that covers major risks, stable cash flow and monthly surpluses, no accumulated consumer debt, and an established core portfolio (Bitcoin, retirement savings, liquid instruments). Given its very low liquidity, without a strong financial structure, buying land can actually trap someone in an asset that increases in value, but worsens their liquidity situation. The rich become rich not because they buy more land, but because they have a financial system that allows them to HOLD the land until its value increases. Therefore, land is not suitable for people who are still struggling financially. For those who aren't financially stable, buying land without cash flow is like buying a dormant asset, its value increases but it doesn't help with living expenses and can't be cashed in quickly. Many middle-class families find themselves under pressure after purchasing land, with their capital depleted, their emergency funds empty, their lack of liquid assets, and their inability to convert land into cash during a crisis. Title: Re: From Bush to Gold:The Power of Owing Land Post by: malekbaba on December 04, 2025, 02:31:58 PM Land is finite and undoubtedly a profitable investment. But it will bring much higher return if anyone use it properly. Low lands are good for farming. the owner will earn actively from cultivation. Aqua culture or producing own crops are good options. Or can lend the land to factory owners. Can develop multi storey building and can make a good way of earning passively. There are certainly some limitations. Not all the piece of land are suitable for commercial income.
But It will be wise to diversify the investment into various physical assets. Gold, Land are worth mentioning. And real business like medicine, garments, transport business. Title: Re: From Bush to Gold:The Power of Owing Land Post by: Bd officer on December 04, 2025, 03:05:26 PM Investing in land is a good idea whose demand is increasing day by day but you should choose a good place to buy land. However, in the past my father had invested some money in land, if now my father sells the land then there will be more than 100 times profit, so here it is understood that the demand for land has increased a lot and the price has also increased a lot. But in the past the price of land was very low but now the price of land has increased a lot. However, now a lot of money is needed to buy land which not everyone will be able to buy land. But you can buy Bitcoin with a small amount of money using the DCA strategy, if you want you can buy it with $10 dollars. Now the supply of Bitcoin is limited which will not increase in the future. So Bitcoin can be the best option for those who do not have a lot of money.

So, real estate investment could be a beneficial but definitely with lots of other criteria like world population should not stay stagnant or negative. When world population will be on rise, I guess almost all type of investment will fly toward moon for sure.

And of course, Bitcoin and Gold are definitely given as good for long-term investment. Most people who are doing dollar-cost averaging (DCA) in Bitcoin really have no preference whether you're rich or poor, you can still avail of it. Unlike with gold, where you really need to have the means to purchase it. Title: Re: From Bush to Gold:The Power of Owing Land Post by: Accardo on December 04, 2025, 05:41:35 PM The risk of business touches all angle of earning money think of people who bought lands in bushes that got taken over by the government afterwards, compelling them to sell the property unriped. Though rare but it's a challenge to see houses uprooted to errect a bridge. These constructions also affect the the value of people's houses and real estates.
Title: Re: From Bush to Gold:The Power of Owing Land Post by: iv4n on December 04, 2025, 07:45:06 PM And how long do we need to wait? :) As long as possible I guess ;D I see the truth in those words... as long as possible. And some people can hold on longer, and some are simply not able to keep up... and they drown. ... Everyone is now a financial advisor. They're quick to give a hint on investment plan but failed to discuss the risk it possess. Land is actually a good investment plan if you work with the right people. The ROI is very low and you'll have to wait for as many years as possible to make huge profits. Some places take forever to develop while some places developed quickly. If you're not rich, believe me you can not afford to buy land in a quickly developed areas. Some places are vulnerable to natural disasters, your investment will turn to regret if you fall into such area. Falling on high way or cemetery will come with little or no compensation from government. No investment is risk free, investment wisely. I have been saying the same things for years... the point is on: " If you work with the right people", "If you're not rich it's hard to get your hands on any property". And definitely there is no investment that is risk free! Invest wisely is a good advice... but so many people can't afford to "invest". And maybe I am wrong, but I think that many people can afford to invest... but they mostly choose "wrong" investments.

Having a digital asset with limited supply (BTC) and a physical asset with limited supplies also . And the good thing about land it tends to increase in value as time goes , and also how bitcoin tends to increase in value as it’s gain more adaptations as time goes . Having lands and bitcoin is like one of the best combo than using shitcoins as your means of diversification.
Title: Re: From Bush to Gold:The Power of Owing Land Post by: Miles2006 on December 04, 2025, 08:04:46 PM Land is more expensive now viewing the value and high purchase, the bushes and other areas mentioned are sold for expensive amount now. In my locality the value is very high, in many years to come the value will get higher compared to now but I’m wondering why will anyone sell when they can hold. The more higher purchase the more value increases, I think population also contributes to the value basically in order to find shelter land is involved secondly investment scheme also needs purchasing of land.
Title: Re: From Bush to Gold:The Power of Owing Land Post by: rat03gopoh on December 05, 2025, 04:47:38 AM Even in that regard, it's limited. You can build whatever you want on sea if you want, but the size of the earth will not grow, it is what it is and we will always need water too, so you can't build everywhere, but in an fantasy world where we do not need water and get rid of them all and everywhere is just pure lands, the land size is limited, it's not limitless. I mean, do the wealthy always target land as an investment asset in the property category? I don't think so. Rather, the wealthy invest in potentially livable space, even though they technically don't own the land on which they build. Look at some developed countries in the Middle East, which were once considered uninhabitable, but are now filled with massive construction projects. The Burj Khalifa was built on only ~30 hectares of land, boasting 160 floors(1), with apartment prices ranging from $500k to $70m USD(2). That's even more expensive than green land in poorer countries.You can't reproduce land, you can't grow it, it is not like some meat for example where you get 2 cows, breed them and get 10 more, then cut the initial 2 cows and eat it, that can be done forever, without ever ending, but land can't be. So, real estate investment could be a beneficial but definitely with lots of other criteria like world population should not stay stagnant or negative. When world population will be on rise, I guess almost all type of investment will fly toward moon for sure. Land isn't always a promising investment, but that doesn't mean it never is. It's just that the wealthy view it from a different perspective. 1) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burj_Khalifa 2) https://www.jamesedition.com/real_estate/apartment-burj-khalifa-lake-united-arab-emirates#:~:text=price%20between,USD. Title: Re: From Bush to Gold:The Power of Owing Land Post by: tottong on December 05, 2025, 05:28:32 AM The world cannot produce more land, but you can secure your share of the little that exists.Land is not just a purchase it is a legacy,It is security,It is freedom and It is the foundation of wealth. If you want an investment that grows while you sleep,invest in land. The question is how long should we wait? Perhaps we have other alternatives that offer a much faster return on investment. I'm not saying investing in land isn't potential, but if there's a faster system, it might be worth trying. Land does have the potential to appreciate in value in the future but it takes a little longer to see a greater return than the initial purchase. Land prices do indeed increase over time, and from this perspective, I agree that buying land might be the first step in preparing for our children's future. I personally prefer investing in Bitcoin or gold over land because I believe the returns can be much faster, and land can be purchased solely for inheritance.

For some, real estate is sometimes even a better investment than bitcoin and gold, let alone comparing it to gambling games like shitcoin. LOL Also, if you have invested in bitcoin and want to allocate some of it to altcoins, that is not called diversification. Because conceptually, diversification is only correct when we invest in assets that are unrelated to each other. That means you need to invest in gold, real estate, stocks and not cryptocurrencies. Title: Re: From Bush to Gold:The Power of Owing Land Post by: reagansimms on December 05, 2025, 09:17:52 AM Come 2026,Invest in Land because it's the One Asset the World Can’t Make More Of. I cannot deny the facts you presented, land investment offers stability and security and the potential for passive income through rentals or when selling it after you have invested for the long term. It must also be acknowledged that land has low risk and liquidity, but requires large capital to purchase land. There’s a popular saying: “Don’t wait to buy land. Buy land and wait.” Why? Because land is the one asset on Earth that is permanently limited.Perhaps,GOD isn't creating more of lands.Every other investment companies, buildings, even cryptocurrencies can increase in supply.But Land is fixed. Imagine your favorite city 10-20 years ago. Think of all the empty spaces, thick bushes, or faraway areas people never cared about. Fast forward to today many of those places are now estates, businesses, highways, shopping centers, and expensive neighborhoods.Someone bought that “empty land” then. Someone else is wishing they did now.The more you delay, someone else takes the spot you should have claimed. So instead of forcing myself to buy land with limited financial capabilities, I will try to find other alternatives that can reduce the time in collecting money to buy land. I'll try investing in Bitcoin, which has the potential for higher returns and can be purchased with relatively little capital. I also know Bitcoin has very high liquidity and risks, but as long as I manage my investment well and execute a planned strategy, my investment will perform well, and the Bitcoin profits can be set aside to purchase land. Title: Re: From Bush to Gold:The Power of Owing Land Post by: allthebitandbobs on December 05, 2025, 05:05:42 PM buying land is only suitable for those who have fulfilled their basic financial needs, including a 6-12 month emergency fund, protection (health/life insurance) that covers major risks, stable cash flow and monthly surpluses, no accumulated consumer debt, and an established core portfolio (Bitcoin, retirement savings, liquid instruments). Given its very low liquidity, without a strong financial structure, buying land can actually trap someone in an asset that increases in value, but worsens their liquidity situation. This is the important, often overlooked way to the "land is finite" thesis. While land is a scarce physical asset, its investment profit is entirely dependent on the investor's position. For the average person building capital, its illiquidity, upkeep costs, and high entry barrier make it a poor primary source compared to divisible, liquid assets like Bitcoin. True wealth preservation through land is a privilege of established and wealthy, not a reliable path to acquiring it.The core investment principle is always about prioritising assets that match your financial stability and liquidity needs. Scarcity alone does not guarantee long term growth or profits. Therefore, for most, building a portfolio with more accessible assets, it is a prerequisite before considering an non-liquid, high-maintenance store of value like land. Title: Re: From Bush to Gold:The Power of Owing Land Post by: Findingnemo on December 05, 2025, 06:19:25 PM The real estate market was pretty good until 2000 but now it is getting expensive but there is also not enough demand for the market price due to the salary and inflation difference that didn't hold on together. To give this in numbers in 1970s, someone can purchase an individual house with their 2 year salary but today it will be 20 years of their salary, that how the money lost it's value in these past 50 years.

True wealth preservation through land is a privilege of established and wealthy, not a reliable path to acquiring it. Land is not something we lack. We can put all of the humanity into just USA right now and give them a home. I am not talking about some small apartment, I am talking about those famous family guy/Simpsons style of home with garage, every single PERSON (not even every family, I mean every single person) can have a house like that, and it would only cover the USA, so that means land is more than enough in the world and we are not lacking it.The core investment principle is always about prioritising assets that match your financial stability and liquidity needs.

The whole "land is finite" is a wrong idea because we have more than what we need. Reality is that not all of the lands are wanted, New York Manhattan land is not the same as some rural god knows where backwater in Alabama, hence why getting a land is not a smart move if you get some useless land nobody wants.

This is indeed a great investment, probably the best one. However, some precautions are needed, because there are recurrent costs involved. Governments charge taxes from land owners and the fee is usually paid yearly. So always make sure the land you acquired is going to generate income somehow in order to allow you to pay the taxes and still profit something in the end. Otherwise, it won't make sense to hold a land to only have expenses in counterpart.Moreover, someone who doesn't pay the taxes over his lands can even lose his land to the government after some time.

If it is close to the city or crowded areas then the price can be expensive but cheaper if it is from far away or isolated areas, especially if there is a lot of bush because the buyer is still the one that will clean them. Some will sell because it makes no sense to just hold forever. For what you are investing anyway? For the profit, right?

Land doesn’t lose value in fact, it keeps rising in value with time. If you buy a plot of land now , it means you’re securing your future because the price you pay today will look small in a few years and even if you don’t have any plans for it immediately, it’s still adding value for you.
And when you’re ready to use it , that’s when you’ll see the benefits. Because you can re-sell it at double or even triple amount, then you can use the money to start up a business, buy your dream car , upgrade your life or even invest in something bigger. What I’m trying to say is Land is that one Asset that waits for you if you own it , add values and gives you better options.

The funds to buy land is the issues.

However, we also need to consider the location of the land. If it's not located close enough to a densely populated city or village, the price will never be high because there won't be enough buyers in that location. Therefore, we need to ensure this before buying, because land located close to a densely populated city or village will continue to experience price increases due to the large number of people who prefer to live there. Furthermore, land close to cities can also be used as future business opportunities, so it's natural for prices to fluctuate. It's clearly better to buy quickly before someone else grabs it.Title: Re: From Bush to Gold:The Power of Owing Land Post by: STT on December 06, 2025, 11:58:41 PM Quote The world cannot produce more land The world can produce more land, new islands can and do appear occasionally. Also land can be created for a variety of reasons and all continents have some movement from this fluid nature to even the land itself. However it is incredibly slow process, tectonic shifts in the world land mass. So yea I agree in general the rate of production is far less then the rate at which demand grows in most parts of the world though that change might also be too slow in your life time. Mostly that would mean your own usage is most important of all to determine success and profit. Land is more productive and practical but gold would be more transportable and fungible, they both have advantages. Gold has no yield, it has to be judged carefully and never held too much imo as everyone needs a positive yield of some kind. |
