There are Presently Lucrative Investment opportunities
in Raw Land iin the rapidly growing Mountain West.

By Forbes J. Douglas

Purchasing Raw Land is a Lucrative Investment

With the rise in land prices, and the increase in the
American and world populations, the demand for
available vacant land on which to build has dramatically
increased. Because of this, the real estate industry has
seen a dramatic rise in people looking to buy vacant or
undeveloped land, whether locally or across the country.

With supplies limited or very expensive in many areas of
the East, Midwest, and West coast, attention has turned
to the mountain west and southwest.  

A new area of interest for recent land acquisition and
development has been Arizona, Colorado, and new
Mexico. The benefits of the high country of the southwest
as opposed the low desert, have gained increasing
recognition. While the Las Vegas area and the Phoenix–
Pinal County-Tucson corridor remain immensely popular,
many more people have become interested in northern
and eastern Arizona, northern New Mexico, and the San
Luis Valley of southern Colorado.

The most important questions raised by anyone
interested in purchasing vacant southwest land is, “What
happens once the other vacant land for sale in the area
begins to be developed?” That depends on the use for
which the vacant land will be developed.

For example, if land is bought in the Prescott-Chino
Valley area of Yavapai County, Arizona, it may be
developed as residential real estate for retirees, second
homes for the affluent from Phoenix, or California or
young families seeking a more wholesome environment
for their children. This requires the expertise of an
experienced construction company specializing in
residential land development, because the land, once it
has entered this stage, will need large investments for
the basic infrastructure of utilities and roads.

If you have bought a smaller parcel in this area under
development, you can take advantage of such
improvements. The value of your parcel will have
increased so that you may either sale it at a nice profit or
begin your own small-scale development. Determine how
many and where houses or apartments should placed.
Working with a residential construction company, you
can plan a development that best takes advantage of the
infrastructure improvements of the larger development.  


This is one of the major benefits, of investing in vacant
land ij such growing areas as Arizona. The value of the
nearby land will increase in value as the area
development continues.

Another aspect of purchasing vacant land would be the
fact that it is undeveloped land, and you can determine
its future. This would mean you could give it almost and
ranching, commercial, or residential use as allowed, and
in the southwest, you will find minimal restrictions
compared to much of the country. A third benefit of
purchasing vacant land is its appreciation value. There is
a much difference in the value of the property when it is
vacant land versus developed and again when a house
is built upon it.

Buying undeveloped, vacant land in the southwestern
United States offers many worthwhile benefits and
opportunities that are no longer available in much of the
country and can lead to lucrative investments.
