Really, if society can't function, there are no animals or bugs to eat, no vegetation to eat and/or grow, no clean water to be drank; you die right away or you live for 6 months on ramen noodle and die anyways.

I appreciate diversification and while I agree that to get a 20% COC return it will be highly leveraged, thus greatly increasing risk and that appreciation should be treated like a cherry on top rather than as a guarantee, real estate is versatile.

The trucking also makes you very versatile on where you can invest.

Quite versatile. http://www.meetup.com/RoddyRoundUpDFW/ is the link. perhaps ill cya there.

We are having a vegetable garden there.

We grow flowers and vegetables, season Feb - June. 

Very versatile and the COC returns are heavy.

They appreciated from my purchase price of $79K each to $312K each within 18 months of my purchase and that was just the empty lots alone without building plans or any further development other than a one time clean up of the lots to prevent a possible fire hazard from vegetation on the lots and having to cut one or two old trees down and hauled away.

Just get used to not seeing any pine trees and limited vegetation here in the Vegas Valley! 

You may also want to consider the self-directed solo 401k as it is generally more versatile.
