The 10 key factors to determine growth

When considering a California Land Purchase you need to ensure you know all of the facts. For instance have you considered why real estate in certain areas of California have appreciated 20 to 30 times over the last 30 years.

While real estate in other areas of the country and in other places in California seem like they never appreciate very much at all. The reason for this lies within logic and it is this logic that is often overlooked.

As they say in Real Estate location, location, location is they key to profits. This is more true for a land purchase than any other type of real estate transaction. Key demographics are huge when it comes o land investing for the long term.

What makes land investments profitable for any investor is time. Not just time in general but time in relation to developing communities.

The key factors to see if your land banking efforts will be fruitful are as follows…

Growth paths are determined by two very important factors the first being population. For example over 35,000,000 people live in California. Over half of them live in an area whose radius is 60 miles from Los Angeles.

That’s 17,000,000 people living within that 60 mile circle and 1/3 of that circle is water. Census projections call for another 3,000,000 people over the next 7 to 10 years to over into that area. 300,000 people per year and where are they all going to go?

Here are the 10 key indicators to determine if your in or out of the big when it comes to growth.

1. You must have level and usable land for the growth to have the ability to develop on your land parcels.

2. You must also have an abundant, available water supply not only for today but one that can handle the growth over the long term.

3. Accessibility by freeway,train or air must be in place. If you can’t get to your real estate you aren’t going to benefit from the growth.

4. You must also have utilities in place that can handle massive growth. Phone, electricity, water, and sewer capabilities on a city sized scale.

5. Education systems from your basic primary levels all of the way through colleges and universities.

6. The proximity to a large metropolis population. This is very important as people search for new places to live and work.

7. You must have existing and planned future industry and commerce to build a strong tax base.

8. Your projections and studies of population must also come from authoritative sources such as government entities, and professional organizations devoted to providing the demographic information.

9. There must already existing commercial and residential development in place.

10. Also master plans for community must be in place ( streets, roads, sewer, electric, and gas).

When all of these key factors are in place your profits for long term appreciation are certain. If you are missing any of these factors you are not taking advantage of the opportunity.
