Own Dirt and Build a Dynasty

Land doesn’t disappear. It doesn’t break down. It doesn’t become obsolete. It simply gets more valuable with time—and more expensive for those who delay.

The IW$ Guide to Rural Real Estate shows you how to get in early, buy smart, and build a lifetime of wealth… from acres of opportunity.

The strategies work. The math is proven. The upside is real.

And best of all?

You can begin right now.

This classic tutorial by the inimitable Frank E. Moss, Ph.D., reveals various ways in which you can take advantage of inexpensive sales of country land to build significant wealth quickly.

The book you are about to read is a CLASSIC! And the principles it presents are probably just as valid today as they were in the years detailed in the examples in the book. Thus, if land values rose 6-percent in three years in an example given in the book, it is likely that they will rise in the years you are considering, if economic conditions are similar. The amount of the rise will probably be different. But if similar conditions exist, a rise in value may probably occur. So please use the dates shown only as guides of time spans, and APPLY THE ECONOMIC PRINCIPLES TO THE LAND YOU’RE CONSIDERING. Using the valid principles given to you in this book may help you prosper and get wealthy trading country land, if similar economic conditions exist.
