Cash Farm Lease: Fill & Download for Free

I'll offer an alternative not a lot of people think about.Invest in property. As in LAND. Buy old, abandoned farms. Lease those properties to ones that want to farm them. If there's one thing that is future proof, and survives al the crises, it is the ground you're standing on. oh, you live in a city? There are plenty of parcels that can be bought for next to nothing. But then there comes a day, someone decides to build a mall or something similar - then, it is time to cash in. maybe that will happen in 2 years. maybe in 50. but investing in cheap land has NEVER been a bad decision. in the end, even if you don't get your golden opportunity, it is still a piece of Earth you can call it your own. And the best thing, it will never be obsolete.

If the lease royalty payments pay the taxes plus some decent cash flow. A no brainer. A good deal.Many a farmer and rancher in Mid west making $ 40 to $ 50 k in earnings a year per turbine at a good site.MANNA F HEAVEN f themI know people who have done solar farms leases.

This isn’t my story, but that of a very good friend who I had as a roommate a long time ago.Geoff was a car salesman for many years. One night he came home and told me the story of his big sale that day. A man had driven into the parking lot in a beat-up pickup truck, one bumper tied in place with baling wire, rust all over it and a cracked windshield. He and his wife emerged from the vehicle and started walking around the show lot looking at cars and drifting towards the trucks. The man was very large, Geoff estimated 6′5″ and 280 lbs and wearing bib overalls, a plaid flannel shirt, well worn boots, and a John Deere baseball cap. All of his clothing was showing age, dirt, and stains. His wife was very plain and wearing similarly worn clothing, but neat and she almost never stopped smiling.They walked around for about 15 minutes as the salesmen watched them from the showroom. All of these guys were triple-A personalities who were like sharks as salesmen and normally would have been fighting or drawing straws as to who got the next customer. Nobody wanted to go talk to these people, the very definition of hayseed goobers with big eyes but no money and they clearly had nothing to offer as a trade in. Geoff had just finished up showing a customer a few cars and writing up prices and a trade-in offer and was irritated that the others had all left these people out there without even a “hello”. He went straight out and started taking to them.The man wanted to buy a truck to replace the one he had driven in on. He also wanted to buy his wife a car because their son had just run their old one into a telephone pole and totaled it. Geoff spent about two hours chatting with them, getting and giving information. He learned that they owned and ran a large farm with 40 horses, 80 head of cattle, other livestock, crops and side businesses running farmland that others had leased from him, and had about 20 employees working for him. When he got done and was writing up the sale of two brand new, fully loaded, vehicles, he asked how they would like to pay. The man reached into his bib overalls and pulled out a roll as big as his country-ham fist and said “sorry, I don’t have cash for both of them, but I’ll pay for one with cash and give you a check for the other; the bank’s open and you can verify the funds are there right now”.So, because these people looked like dirt-kicker rednecks to the auto sales staff, Geoff sold two top-line vehicles for cash, earned a very substantial commission, and made two acquaintances who invited him out to their farm to visit, and then became good friends for the next 30 years. I got to go with Geoff to their beautiful farm once; among the nicest folks I’ve ever met.What’s that old saying about not judging a book by its cover….?
