Investing In Aggricultural Land in Temecula – Ramona …

[newbiz]

I see that there is a lot of privately owned rural aggricultural land in many places around San Diego and Riverside counties.

Can any one throw some light on if owners of these properties have any kind of income from them or are they purely holding them for appreciation.

I would like to make some investments into such rural land if there was any income in it. I live in San Diego hence, mentioned Ramona or Temecula as I am familair with these places and feel that they are easily accessible from San Diego.

I do not intend to live or work on such a property, probably hire some oen to manage it, shoudl ithave some kind of aggricultural activity on it.

What woudl something liek a citrus farm or Avacado farm on 50 to 100 acres sell for. What is the primary source of water in these deser regions?

I can’t answer your main questions, but I truly wonder what the H2O costs will do to such businesses here in SoCal…….I don’t see long term sustainability.

As far as I know, proximity to San Diego makes agricultural land too expensive to make sense as a source of income. And, unless the property is on a well, the water bill can be 50% or more of your gross income.

If you want agricultural land, look north of Bakersfield: yields are comparable, cost per acre is considerably lower, water is 3-5 times cheaper. Or check out Coachella Valley.

I know someone that owns their avocado farm outright near Temecula and they do approx $100 per acre per year renting it out about 7 years ago for approx 200 acres. I own 1200 acres (900 tillable) in ND and rent it out for 35K per year. If you own it outright and you don;t need the money to live, then you should be OK, if you owe $ and something goes south: water, fertilizer, gas, weather, commodity prices, etc. it would not be worth it and you might lose it. If you are leveraged to the hilt you will surely fail as something always happens 15-20% of the time.

My family has owned that farm since Teddy Roosevelt signed off on the deed, my ancestors nearly lost it several times and my parents were able to ride out bad times once about every decade because it was extra income and was not needed. we learned from them and have not taken any chances, but we have been stiffed for half the rent one year out of the last 11, even while being extra conservative and charging below average rental rates. Lucky we don’t NEED it as well.

hope this helps.
