Why Invest?
We don’t believe “just any land” proves to be a good farmland investment. Specific qualities cause certain outdoor properties and types of farmland to significantly outperform other land investments over time. Also, owning farmland is not for everyone. We strive to help our clients find property which best fits their investment and personal objectives.
With that in mind, we would first like to present you with several reasons why you should consider not buying farmland:
* Liquidity Concerns
* High Debt / Carrying Cost
* Lack of Detailed Market Knowledge
Below are some reasons why our clients have chosen to invest in quality farm / recreational property:
* Investment Diversification
* Inflation "Hedge"
* Appreciation in Values (both historically as well as during the Great Recession)
* Annual Cash Flows (outperforms many other investment options)
* Growing Demand from Emerging Markets (growing middle class in Asia, etc)
* Recreational Uses (outdoor family time, hunting, fishing, etc)
* Convenient, Accessible Location
* Other Investment “Qualities” (timber, natural gas, commodities etc)
As it is important to buy the most suitable outdoor property, we recommend working with an experienced, trustworthy land advisor when buying or selling farm, timber, AG, or recreational land.
Disclaimer: We are not financial investment advisors and are not attempting to present a detailed analytical investment position. We simply believe many of the current and future trends make a compelling argument for one to consider purchasing quality farmland.
