Land Value

[FarmlandQDM]

I'm sure there are a few Iowa landowners with ugly daughters ...

... so like my dad always told me ... marry for land, love will follow ...

Yeah and after a few kids, shes got you buy your scrodum, and won't let you hunt. Lifes a bitch, money can't buy it , but land can

wait till she takes her half or all of it cause you want to hunt.

There is one great equalizer that will eventually reign in these inflated land values: tax.
County assessor's across the state are licking their chops at the opportunity to shaft landowners.

I think this is the reason that leasing has became so popular. If I bought 200 acres for $200,000, I would lose the earning power of the money(10 grand easy) plus the taxes and up keep of the land. So, I could keep the $200,000 in my pocket and split the 12,000 in earnings on an Elk hunt and buy a hell of a lease in Iowa for Whitetail. Just think how tilted it would be if you had to borrow the money.

I know what I'm going to do...Buy my own land.

If you could drop $200,000 on 200 acres you would be a fool not to... that would be a complete steal at $1k/acre

Plus, once you factor in the ridiculous appreciation in land values in Iowa, you would be a millionaire in nigh 10 yrs

Would you rather pass along to your kids the photos and mount from your elk hunt or the land where they shot their first turkey and deer?

I checked out some prices up here and almost, wait I did cringe... Cheapest was 7,000 and acre and up to 25,000... Thats freakin unreal... But then the govt will give you large tracts of land???
