Hello BP community,

So I've been doing research lately and "driving for dollars" especially around the St. Charles, IL area.  I saw a few Lots for sale and I was wondering if anybody here knows whats a good price for a Lot in that area? Ive seen a wide range of prices per acre and all in a particular area so I'm not sure what exactly is a good deal

    Hard to put a price per acre on a lot in St Charles without knowing where exactly. But I've seen an acre of land sell from 50K-300K

    @Efren Corona

    I had a house built out there a couple of years ago. It was a terrible investment in real estate. It cost me $700 a month even when fully rented. It was intended, though, for a different business idea that my business partner at the time failed to pull his weight on. That said, St Louis has been getting some favorable press lately with its business growth. There could be some good opportunity if you play your cards right on a good buy and hold.
