How to start investing in land?
I will be ready to buy a home in the next five years, however, I am trying to decide whether I should buy a home or a piece of undeveloped land as my first big investment? I have done a little research in land investments but need advice. In my opinion land could be such a great investment as it does not change or move like a home. I just need a strategy of how to go about this... Any ideas for my first purchase? Thanks
