Owning Land Poll

[Sleepy]

The skinny....You’re 31, live in a neighborhood in a town of 100K people, so busy but not the Metromess. Good neighbors, nice neighborhood. You like your house.

You really want some land in general and you can either

A. Buy less land and build a house, live there and enjoy it every day, even if it’s not really enough to do what you really want, but it gets you out to the country and away from the busy city.

B. Stay where you are and buy a larger tract within an hour or two where land is cheaper and use it as a weekender/hunting spot.

East Texas area.


For those that have been there and those who are pondering the same, what would you do?

Buy bigger land and move there later on once kids are out of the house.

B since land doesn't get cheaper with time. You can always pick up a camper or build a small barndo. You can work to get the place ready for retirement over the next 30 yrs. Pay as you go and watch your debt load.

Is the larger land already ag exempt or will you need to establish the exemption?

Land that isn't ag exempt will eat you up with prop taxes.

Always go bigger!

[Antlers86]

Go big or go home! Buy big and stay home!

Story of my life right now. Longest 5 years of my life.

I lived in a neighborhood where my kids would have a great school and bought property in the country. About 2 hours away. Now considering selling that country place and retiring further away from the crowds.

Interesting. Keep them coming!

I left the city mess and bought some land. House is currently under construction and will be living out there as soon as it finished

Buy as much land as you can safely afford while staying in your current home. That way you have a place on the weekends to get away and also a place to live when your wife kicks you out.
