If I was you, I would place a budget on my funds.\n1.  How much funds do you or will you posesse.\n2.  Find a motel on the outskirts of town.\n----That will rent weekly\n3.  Get a storage shed for your time away.\n\nIf you can follow your budget you will succeed.  For extra cash or for free rent call some ranchers or farmers up, they usually have big barns.  Clean there chicken coop or something.\n\nYou will make a friend, hence the glory of.\nGood luck :)

One of the investors I work with may have a home or two in Naperville (or surrounding suburbs).  Would need a bit more information on what you're looking for in terms of home size and $$$

Does the farm include the house?  If so, what is the condition of the well and septic system?\nHow many acres?  Are there any restrictions as to the number of animals you can raise on the acreage included?\nWhere are the boundary lines?\nAre there any restrictions from the landlord as to what you can raise on the land, including crops and/or animals?

Ever see "Flip This House"?  Good money. Good investment...if you're in the right neighborhoods.  I would look more towards the rural areas where city growth is being pushed...especially around lakes, within reasonable drive to cities. Buy the houses instead of working for someone else & making them the real profit.

Hi Christian!\nNow that the housing market is finally looking up, it's the perfect time to seek out a new place to live. This summer you need to shake off that "lucky I even have my folks to live with" mentality, polish up your shoes, and explore your living quarters options! There are fun, flexible, fantastic places out there just waiting for someone like you!\nNow, get out there and pound the pavement. Beat on some doors until you latch onto that incredible tree house or fort you always wanted!\n(I heard the esperanza area is a great place to find a cardboard box near the dumpster behind a pizza joint?)\n-zealnik

It doesn't matter where you reside, look at the areas surrounding your immediate cities and other surrounding areas.  \n\nI find that purchasing raw land 10-15 miles outside a city normally works really well and is the land is cheap in most instances.  \n\nDepending on how much you have to invest and the cost of land near where you live. Try and buy the minimum of 4-5 acres. A good size property to purchase if you are a small time investor as I am would be 10-20 acres, developers will purchase those type all the time for single family homes.  Make sure that you get from the county the zoning of the property. That should not really concern you as you are planning to sell it anyway.\n\nDon't be concerned if utilities are not built to your property as of yet, eventually the city will build the utilities out to where you are. You must continue to pay property taxes on the property and any improvement tax assessed by the city. If they build the utilities out and past your property, you could be accessed a utility tax, sometimes this is a one time tax, other times it is done over a few years depending on how the local govenrment vote on the payment.\n\nI find this to be an excellent way to build a trust for my grandchildren's education.\n\nYou will find that being a land speculator is a good business and not only that but profitable. As you gain more experience you can and would want to go out further, bank the land. I try and sell about 10-20 acres per year or more. I try to purchase about 50-60 acres per year.\n\nI don't know if there are any land properties in your area but try this site they sell land and the sign up is free. they also have a booklet you can receive in the mail.\n\nYou should always look at a piece of land before buying it.\n\nwww.landauction.com\n\n \nI hope this has been of some use to you, good luck.\n\n"FIGHT ON"

Either Natomas or Roseville/Rocklin.  Be prepared to spend, though.  Good luck.

that is what i am doing, but im not moving to another state, just another part of town.  you need to ask your self what kind of town is the best place for you.  what are you looking for.  small town were it is quite but no shopping centers for 140 miles (that is Gillette, WY. were i am at) or large city were you have tons of thing to choose from for your free time, but cost of liveing, crime , and houses are a lot higher.  there is no reason to be misrable if you dont like being were your at.  if you have the fredom of leaving when ever you want then do it.

Are you sure that these towns are that bad?  People often pay pretty high prices to buy these houses.  I do agree that they often do not match the rural character of the farms nearby, but people need somewhere to live.\n\nThere is a balance between providing housing and preserving farmland.  The economics of farming these days mean that you need huge amount of acreage and low property taxes to be able to stay in business.  If development is allowed on the land, a lot of times it will not make sense to keep farming and a farm community will turn into another exburb.
