If its a big property, as in they have a large square footage of land and that is where the money is tied up, they can rent storage space, farming space, etc.  

So my nosiness to see if my prices were current, I looked on realtor and set filters at min 3 bed and 2 bath and max at 2 acres ( did not want farms).

They don't want a super modern home build in an area filled with craftsman or farm style homes.

I've been offered an opportunity to invest in farm land that is adjacent to a successful/proven farming operation.

Thanks for connecting :) I like NC just bc I understand it, and there is soo much variation in what you can get into (farm land, city condos/str, beach, mountains, etc).

My grandparents who spent everything EVERYTHING for us, working fingers to the bone on the farm, coming here with near to nothing but clothes on there backs, had 0 to retire upon.

We have a farm in the NC mountains with 4 vacation rental cabins.

I have reached out to state farm and they gave me a really good price but I am now worried I am not being protected 🤣 I had an insurance broker but having a hard time getting quotes now.

Population growth, strong job growth, multisector industry/economy (Never invest in an area propped up by a single industry, or worse, a single company), landlord and business friendly, strong development, strong sports teams (even minor and farm teams), lower crime rates than national average, and good schools/colleges nearby.

My wife and children stayed on a working farm and part of it was they let us feed the cows and tour the barns.
