@Cheyenne Nafe - of course;  as you know, absolutely everything in Madison county has appreciated, including even raw land.  

If the population continues to decline, eventually, there won't be enough renters to fill your properties.Here's some actual data to consider.There are currently 6 rentals available on Zillow in Anderson.26 of these are less than 14 day old listings (which is ok for this time of year) but they are still not leased yet.19 have been on the market for 60 or more days (about 1/3) which is atrocious for this time of year.Of 221 properties for sale (raw land included,) I counted 66 homes for sale that have been on the market for over 90 days (this doesn't include raw land.)

If you like the idea of passive income without any tenants, termites or toilets breaking in the middle of the night, then you should think about investing in raw land.

It starts with the raw cash value from Day 1 and you can input any growth assumption you want and you can see that it still works.Wrong: "The insurance company keeps the cash value" Right: The cash value is part of the death benefit.

I suspect the same is true of raw land. 

@Johanne P.Main type of raw land available in the city is hillside, is that what you are going for?

I'm trying to figure out raw number so that I can calculate the shortage of housing based on population and job growth in the surrounding area.

And only buy and hold vacation/short-term rentals specifically.Commercial property is also profitable… depending on location.I personally was out there gathering information and documents regarding raw Oceanfront property (with permits in place for Hotel Casino and Resort), Acreage for agriculture development (Puerto Rico is blessed with very Fertile Soil), some shopping centers in urban areas and 2 private islands that a broker wants me to help him market here in the States.So HMU anyone that would like more info about Puerto Rico.

Hello BP Crew!I have been searching high and low for the best place to start in terms of finding vacant land. I am very interested in the topic of land flipping but I am unsure where everyone is going for an easier ap...

You could sell a warehouse, and buy raw land.
