Looking for Land in Alabama

[halfkorean]

Ya, I want to stay at $2500 an acre or less. This price is somewhat easy to find once you get into 200 acres or more (which is what I am considering).

Yeah, 200+ acres would be easier to find cheaper. Hard to find it when you are looking in between 50-100 acres.

Let me know if you find some and need a "caretaker." I may volunteer my services.

I may be from TX, but I'm plenty aware of what cold is and that you can get colder temps in Ohio than Alabama. Didn't say otherwise.

My point was that Alabama still has plenty of sub-freezing days in the winter, and when it comes to training, anything sub-freezing makes it harder/less enjoyable.

I understand. 30 and sun to me is a Gift from GOD compared to what I've got right now. Todays high is 13.

Lol, understood. I guess I didn't realize how cold it actually got in Ohio. Comparatively speaking, you may as well be sipping pina coladas in between drills

Becareful what you wish for. You might get a job and access to ALL the training that I and Alias Training hold there (for free).

Definitely would be interested, if you were serious, and this gains any traction.

A good friend of mine, who was a special agent and firearms instructor with the FBI, and now TVA, and myself have discussed several times, giving at least basic level safety and firearm classes but really haven't gone into detail.

Hell, even TX gets below freezing

I live about the middle of the state and we had a 10-day stretch last winter when the temps did not go above freezing. Granted, 25* Fahrenheit is not as cold as 0* F with a 20 mph wind blowing (nets a wind chill of -22*), but at some point it's all just too cold to go outside. At least for me.

Regarding property in Alabama, the black belt area has huge tracts of former family farm land available at sub $1K per acre prices. I have a friend who has gradually accumulated just at 500 acres in northern Perry County with a 15 acre lake on the main piece. He bought at reasonable prices and the property is decent.

My suggestion would be to call and have the Sunday edition of the Huntsville Times, Birmingham News, and Montgomery Advertiser sent to you for a month of Sundays and see what comes across the classifieds. You might also try the Tuscaloosa News, but I get it pretty often and rarely see acreage advertised.

Another angle might be to obtain copies of some of the magazines that cater to instate markets - farmer's co-op pieces, such as that.

Good luck with the search. Personally, my wife and I decided a while back that if we moved one direction or the other we would go north towards the mountains rather than south towards the beach.

To each his own, in that regard -

I have looked at this county via landwatch and a few others.

Usually the better deals can be found via word of mouth (hence this thread).

NOTE: If a member here helps me find a good deal on land, there IS an awesome reward waiting for you!
