#223 - Dan Perez's Biggest Regret After 40 Years of Buying Land
from The Land Podcast - The Pursuit of Land Ownership and Investing · host Jake Hofer
Welcome to the land podcast, a platform for people looking to educate themselves in the world of land ownership, land investing, staying up to date with current land trends in the Midwest, and hearing from industry experts and professionals. On today's episode, we are back in the studio with Dan Perez. We discuss: Dan's biggest regrets are the farms he didn't buy, not the ones he bought. Land always feels expensive in the present and cheap in hindsight. Many buyers underestimate how much appreciation compounds over decades. Hunting land can provide enjoyment while also building long-term wealth. First-time buyers should explore creative financing options like contract for deed. Leasing ground often costs more long-term than owning it. Small improvements can create significant forced appreciation on a farm. Investors need patience and the discipline to walk away from bad deals. Dan remains highly bullish on land despite rising prices. Growing populations and shrinking rural land supply support long-term demand. And so much more!
