<p>[QUOTE=&quot;rrholdout, post: 2890403, member: 89654&quot;]Have to agree with this as my main trade is land. I specialize in purchasing/restoring/developing rural acreage, then sell through financing. It appears land is still overvalued post 2008, and demand is low/falling. But there is a big difference between hot city lots, acreage on the edge of a booming, or soon to be booming metro area, and semi-remote/remote acreage. Does the new generation want <i>land</i>, and to <i>work</i> land, or to surf their digital world in a high-rise? Our kids certainly don&#039;t. I am afraid we are dinosaurs here too, and the old &#039;Buy and Hold&#039; adage may not hold true in our Brave New World. And gov&#039;t is always on the prowl to take more land, for any pretext. Know folks who&#039;ve been bitterly forced to sell to Big Gov, generally below FMV.</p><p><br /></p><p>On the financing angle, inflation eats at the interest rate. The seller is clearly the loser here, and the purchaser saves [we generally do 20 year deals]. I am seriously considering structuring the next deal to have the purchaser pay monthly in silver. My wife of course thinks it&#039;s ludicrous . . . but hey, a cash-strapped motivated buyer may go for it, if fully explained. They could cash-wise come out a winner. Just play with the amortization table till I get a monthly that works out to so many exact ounces, based on current spot. But should I accept rounds, foreign coins, junk? This is sounding fun.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
