Looking for Land in Alabama

[C4IGrant]

Howdy! This yankee is looking at land in your fine State! Don't be alarmed though, I am not trying to take over.

Mostly looking at the Northeast section of your State. Any input on which counties to avoid, good leads on 100 acres (or more)?

Any and all input welcome.

I will say this, Grant... land is WAY more expensive down south. Expect to pay $5k-$10k an acre. I can get get 400+ acres for just over a quarter mil in Ohio. Ask me how I know.

Just had a buddy buy 100 acres at $695/acre up there, too. Buy up there and sell your mineral right... you could be an INSTANT millionaire.

Ya, in some parts. Not in Alabama though. Seen a lot of land I like for UNDER $2k an acre.

Incase you had forgotten, it is COLD in OH!

There's lots of nice property in North Alabama. Good luck you'll like it there.

Keep mineral rights if you don't need a quick buck.

Agreed. We did not sell ours. AND if we ever do sell the farm, we can command a high premium.

[Littlelebowski]

Yeah, we bought our 50k acres and the mineral rights were long gone. Folks that held onto theirs over the years are making big bank out West.

That's not bad. Check into things like cost to have power ran to the property if there is none, well drilling, septic installation, etc. Small expenses in the grand scheme, but worth taking a look at. SC land can be had about that cheap if you move to a very unpopulated area. Since a lot of your business is online, employment may not be a concern. You planning on moving or just acquiring land?
