I live in the mid-Cities area, and am very close to N. Ft

I think its pricey because I have bought several courses in the past that sold too much hype.  

It's cheaper, easier on taxes, LLC are over-hyped.   

Look at Detroit prices today and it's ridiculous with the flippers and wholesalers and every other short term oriented person hyping appreciation %s. 

Even for the SHTF scenario that @Ian Ippolito eludes to, I think that booze and bullets would be a better hedge than Gold - and at least the prior has interim, medicinal utility while we're waiting...I hear the hype, I know folks that invest in Gold - I even own some, but perhaps I'm TOO practical - I just don't get Gold.Once you have it, how do you get rid of it?

Anything more than that is mostly hype.

I thought there's no way it could live up to the hype because everyone talks about it, but it will change the way you look at finances.

Understand what your real exposures will be, much of it is over hyped by those selling entity services. 

We moved to the N Ft Worth area and bought a 1600 sq ft starter home that will be converted into a rental in another year.  

The best way to start is to identify a piece of land for sale and listen to all the hype from the seller and realtor.
