I am very interested in properties with tillable land and a climate suitable for wheat farming for our primary residence.

Especially with all the retirees in the coming years who generally move to the warmer climates.

I'm familiar with the climate, but not sure if mold is a problem.

Right now the biggest growth markets for agribusiness are in central California (Think Paso Robles-Santa Barbara) as it has a very specific mediterranean climate which is great for vineyards, lavender (which is going to be huge in the next 10 years), olive trees (has taken off and out paces new vineyards right now almost 2-1) and, in very specific areas- saffron.

Economic growth will remain low especially with the current climate in Washington with this idea that all debt and deficits are inherently bad at the national level.

Hi @Wendell De GuzmanThat's not a lot of information to go on, and you shouldn't focus solely on the cash-flow...There are other factors you should consider:What's the economy like (unemployment, jobs & job growth, business climate, migration, etc.)?

There are tens of million of retirees moving and most are going away from and not moving to the rust belt states.If you look at demo's they all want the warmer climates.

The political/social climate is ridiculous today.

Is the area just working class with common working class issues like occasional drunk and disorderly and maybe domestic violence calls or is it a warzone with shootings, muggings, and burglaries especially of more expensive places near the neighborhood? 

I know it's case-by-case and depends on the construction, but in general, at what age does your typical wood frame house  in a climate like, say, Indianapolis start giving significantly more trouble than it did, say, 10 years prior?
