Just checking in, would like to network with others in the land business and perhaps get some southern ca folks interested in some high sierra cabin vacation rentals.
I invest in raw land, mostly. But dabble in other areas as well --multiple streams of income are helpful, as well as working part time.
One goal for 2009 is to get an orchard planted, right now I'm in the process of locating suitable land and have two very good leads. Other long term goals are trading one of our holdings (an old homestead near Death Valley) for some land closer to our small communities.

Thanks guys for the welcome. Well, Dick, I've spent too much time on the internet and shuffling papers, land contracts and sometimes just doing deals via email all day long (not that there is anything wrong with that) but what happened is that I wanted to get connected again, take some time off and watch stuff grow --get my hands dirty, and, spend more time with the kids away from computers and cell phones and other distractions. (like work, :wink: )
A few weeks of putting the word out I connected with a retired guy who has 400+ acres with a creek running down the middle of his land and he is agreeable to leasing as much land as I need for $1/year. If that isn't a calling I don't know what is.
Our own property up in the high sierra is filled up already with apple, cherry, pear, and 20 other bushes like goosberries, currants, kiwis, elderberries - and I'm just about out of room here. But to answer your question it is apples primarily that I'd like to grow. And just for fun, not profit. Wholesale, bareroot trees can go for about $12 each, I figure that $501 could make a decent go of things.
