Why You Should Invest in Land, Not Just Homes As Mark Twain famously said, “Buy land, they aren’t making it anymore.” If you are considering buying land in Western Colorado, you came to the right place. Investing in land brings about a host of benefits and potential opportunities that might not be available if you’re investing in a pre-built home instead. Land almost always guarantees ROI if you’re willing to wait long enough. Let’s take a look at the benefits. Land is for the Long-Term Investor If you’re playing the long-term investment game, land is a great asset to add to your portfolio. It is a safer investment than stocks, bonds, and possibly even homes. Safety aside, if you’re looking for a quick turnaround, land is not the right investment for you. Much like a 401k, you have to invest strategically and be willing to hold on to your investment even if the market dips. When you purchase land, you must consider the land’s highest and best use. If you have a vision for residential development, you could buy a piece of land in a rural area with a low population if you anticipate future growth in the area. While a similar-sized parcel in a populated city would be harder to find and very expensive, you should consider buying land in a rural area and sitting on it until the time is right to either sell it or develop it. But Land Will Appreciate Land is a valuable asset that people will always need. Owning it puts you in a very profitable position. Regardless of where you invest, land has plenty of uses for residential, commercial, and agricultural development. Furthermore, the longer you hold onto the land, the more valuable it will become. Space is an increasingly valuable asset as it becomes rarer. As Mark Twain said, you can’t make more land. As such, 60 acres of land purchased today might double in value over the next 20 years.

DELTA COUNTY • $1,099,000

And Land Gives You More Flexibility As your land appreciates, there are many different things you can do with it to generate short-term income. As long as you meet zoning and building codes, you can build homes or commercial spaces. If you’re more interested in the appreciation of the land itself, you can use it for recreational purposes or make money by leasing it as it grows in value. You Can Even Capitalize on The Short-Term Rental Industry Owning land puts you in a perfect position to capitalize on the short-term rental industry. You can get creative with it too! First, you can build a small structure to list on Airbnb or another short-term rental site. Think about the location and build accordingly. You can build a cabin on land near a national forest. You can build a small house on the beach with glass windows for an incredible ocean view. Perhaps the property already has a home or cabin on it that could be used to generate income through either short or long-term rentals. Finding a good long-term rental could be a benefit when it comes to monthly income and possibly maintenance or land care in exchange for a portion of the rent. There are also short-term rental opportunities for the land itself. You can rent out your land per growing season for crops and farming. Additionally, you can rent out your land to local ranchers to board their livestock. Many local ranchers or farmers would be willing to mend fences or irrigate pastures for the ability to place animals on the property or grow crops. You can also negotiate a monthly boarding fee or split the crops at the end of the harvest. The best part is that you can make money from creatively renting your land while it’s appreciating all by itself. By the time 20 years pass and you’re ready to sell your land for more than what you paid, you’ll have made a bunch of money renting it in the interim.

BUSINESS WITH LODGE & LEASES

One of Colorado’s finest outfitting businesses has come on the market with terrific income, a land base with irrigated acreage and a hunting lodge, vast BLM permit areas, and excellent private land hunting leases for high success rates on trophy mule deer and elk. This property is situated in Western Colorado along the I-70 corridor, in an area that is known for outstanding Colorado big game hunting. The business operates in several game management units, all of which have over-the-counter tags for elk. This outfitting business and guide service puts clients on game, averaging about 120 hunters a year on the South Camp and a terrific 85% success rate. Most of the hunts are fully guided, with guides taking the hunters out by vehicle. Very little horse packing or riding is needed. Hunts average $5,000-$7,000, depending on whether it’s an elk or mule deer hunt and if a trophy fee is involved. This business is offered in its entirety—North Camp, South Camp, and lodge with 40 acres—for $1,500,000. This is a very large outfitting venture that can outfit well over 200 hunters a year.

Buy Your First Home in One Year: A Step-by-Step Guide Courtesy of the National Association of Realtors – This ultimate timeline ensures the smoothest of transitions! But they require mortgage insurance premiums, which will drive up your monthly payments. The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) provides a list of nonprofit homebuying programs by state. Also check with credit unions; and your employer might even have an assistance program. As you’re planning your savings strategy, keep in mind that banks like you to “season” your money. That is, they like to see that you’ve had stable funds in your account for 60 to 90 days before applying for a loan. Don’t worry: You can still use a financial gift from a family member or bonus received near the time you buy.

9 Months Out

A real yard. Closets bigger than your average microwave. The freedom to decorate however you darn well please! Making the switch from renting to owning is exhilarating, but many rookie homebuyers find the process trickier to navigate than they expected. This is why we created our First-Time HomeBuyer Checklist. The 12-month timeline will help you sidestep common mistakes, like paying too much interest or getting stuck with the wrong house. (Yep, it happens!)

12 Months Out

Check your credit score. Get a copy of your credit report at annualcreditreport.com. The three credit bureaus (Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion) are each required to give you a free credit report once a year. A Federal Trade Commission study found one in four Americans identified errors on their credit report, and 5% had errors that could lead to higher rates on loans. Avoid last-minute bombshells by checking your score long before you’re ready to make an offer. And work diligently to correct any mistakes. Determine how much you can afford. Figure out how much house you can afford and want to afford. Lenders look for a total debt load of no more than 43% of your gross monthly income (called the debt-to-income ratio). This figure includes your future mortgage and any other debts, such as a car loan, student loan, or revolving credit cards. There are plenty of calculators on the web to help you determine what you can afford. If you’re pushing the limits, start reducing your debt-to-income ratio now. Use a budget worksheet to get a reality check on what you may actually be spending every month. Make a down payment plan. Most conventional mortgages require a 20% down payment. If you can swing it, do it. Your loan costs will be much less, and you’ll get a better interest rate. If, however, you’re not quite able to save the full amount, there are many programs that can help. FHA offers loans with only a 3.5% down payment. 30

Real Estate Today | April 2021 | www.coloradorealestatetoday.com

Prioritize what you most want in your new home. What’s most important in your new home? Proximity to work? A big backyard? An open floor plan? Being on a quiet street? You’ll make a much better decision on what home to buy if you focus on your priorities. If it’s a joint decision, now is the time to work out any differences to avoid frustration and wasted time. Perhaps most important: Know what trade-offs you’re willing to make. Research neighborhoods and start visiting open houses. But now’s when the fun begins, too. Use property listing sites, real estate magazines, and local real estate offices to find out about neighborhoods, public transport, and cost of living. Start visiting open houses to get an idea of what kind of homes are in your price range and what neighborhoods appeal the most. Seeing potential homes will also keep you motivated to continue reducing your debts and saving for your down payment. Budget for miscellaneous homebuying expenses. Buying a home has some miscellaneous upfront costs. A home inspection, title search, propery survey, and home insurance are examples. Costs vary by locale, but expect to pay at least a few hundred dollars. If you don’t have the cash, start saving now. Start a home maintenance account. Speaking of saving, start the good habit now of putting a little aside each month to fund maintenance, repairs, and home emergencies. It’s bad enough to have to call a plumber. It’s worse if you’re paying credit card interest on that plumbing bill.

{ } Making the switch from renting to owning is exhiliarating, but many the rookie homebuyers find te process trickier to naviga than they expected.


Buy Your First Home in One Year: A Step-by-Step Guide

6 Months Out Collect your loan paperwork. Banks are very particular when it comes to mortgage loans. They demand a lot of paperwork. What they’ll want from you includes: • W-2 forms — or business tax return forms if you’re self-employed — for the last two to three years • Personal tax returns for the past two to three years • Your most recent pay stubs • Credit card and all loan statements • Your bank statements • Addresses for the past five to seven years • Brokerage account statements for the most recent two to four months • Most recent retirement account statements, such as 401(k) If you start collecting these documents now, it’ll lessen the stress when it’s time to get your loan. Bonus: Looking closely at your loan documents each month will also help you stay focused on saving for your down payment and keeping your debt-to-income ratio low. Research lenders and realtors. Start interviewing realtors, specifically buyers’ agents. A buyer’s agent will work in your best interest to find you the right property, negotiate with the seller’s agent, and shepherd you through the closing process. Your agent also can be instrumental in finding a lender who’s familiar with first-time home buyer programs. Even better, look for a mortgage broker, who will shop for a competitive loan rate for you among multiple lenders, unlike a bank, which can only offer its own products.

2 Months Out Make an offer on a home. It usually takes at least four to six weeks to close on a home. So if you have a firm move-out date, allow enough time to deal with any hiccups that can delay closing. Get a home inspection. One of the first things you’ll want to do after an offer is accepted is have a home inspector look at the property. If the home inspector finds something that needs repair, that’s a common example of something that can delay closing.

In the Last Month Triple-check that all your financial documents are in order and review all lending documents before closing. You’re in the home stretch! If you’ve been keeping your documents up to date, and your down payment is in reserve, these final steps are the easiest. Reviewing the mortgage documents is probably the most difficult. Your agent can help guide you through them. Get insurance for your new home. Don’t forget to secure insurance before closing. You’ll need to bring proof of insurance to closing. Do a final walk-through. Do a final walk-through of your new home, usually a day or two before closing, to make sure the home is in the shape you and the seller have agreed upon. Get a cashier’s check or bank wire for cash needed at closing. Make sure you get an exact amount of cash needed for closing. You’ll get that number a few days before closing so you can secure a cashier’s check or arrange to have the money wired. Regular checks aren’t accepted.

3 Months Out

Get pre-approved for your loan. At this point, if you’ve been following this timeline, your credit score, paperwork, and down payment should be on track. You’ve done your research on lenders and buyers’ agents. Now it’s time to start working with them. First you’ll need to get pre-approved for a mortgage. Make an appointment with your lender or mortgage broker and bring all your paperwork. He’ll run a credit check on you and tell you how much of a loan you’re approved for. It often makes sense to borrow less than the maximum the lender allows so you can live comfortably. Draft a budget that accounts for mortgage payments, insurance, maintenance, and everything else you have going on in your life. Start shopping for your new home. One you’re pre-approved, the buyer’s agent you’ve chosen will be able to target homes that meet your priorities in your price range. This way you won’t be wasting time looking at homes you can’t afford.
