Buying Land in Ohio

[Ricechex]

Hello All,
We are considering buying land in Ohio, as we want to have somewhere sustainable to live should push come to shove. We figure that Ohio may have better resources than San Diego. (ie: better soil for growing food, well water, etc) Does anyone have any feedback on this? Any referrals?

It sounds like you want to buy land based on an assumption that some kind of catastrophic event is going to happen. I think that’s a bad idea. Sure, some kind of catastrophic event could happen that would turn San Diego into the next Road Warrior movie, but if that happens, who knows how it would be in Ohio. Maybe worse. Trust me, Ohio has its own economic problems, and some serious sustainability issues.

Are you looking to abandon the urban/suburban hamster wheel and adopt a more agrarian life? The sustainability issues with that are even worse. Agriculture is pretty volatile right now and a tough way to make a living under the best of circumstances.

What much of Ohio (and many other states) offer is cheap real estate that is far less prone to the expansion and bursting of bubbles. The problem is, you have to live in Ohio.

Well said Blissful. I actually once owned a farm in Ohio, grew up there too. I still have friends back there in the ag biz, well not so much really, but you have to keep a hand in to avoid exhorbitant prop taxes. Give me an email address, and we can chat offline.

Geezus, guys! Everyone needs to get a grip on life! Is the board owner reading some of these posts? Where are the wize people of the board who where working during the 70’s and 80’s recessions? They need to speak up and help the first time recession people out. This board needs some serious hand holding. Remember Y2K, 1986 Haley Commit hitting, that same crack pot stuff is as bad as some of these posts are saying. If you listen to Peter Schiff and I can guess 90% people here do, then you know we are spoiled when it comes to the good times in the economy. This is the market working itself out. There will be mergers upon mergers and some of it will be good and bad. Advice: Stay away from this board for 3 months and figure out your game plan to make it through this recession.
