LAND...The BEST INVESTMENT for Your Money!

I must admit, I was skeptical when a friend recommended this book to me. However, I began reading with an open mind and found that I had completely misjudged what I thought "Land Banking" was. If you have money to invest and time, then "Land Banking" is a most exciting and safe way to go about it. We all know that urban sprawl is here to stay. Why not make a fortune by investing in the future? Since reading this book, I have already made my first investment in "Land Banking." I expect a fairly decent return on my money in anywhere from 3-5 years. In my opinion, this a much higher-octane vehicle for investment returns that just stocks or mutuals. Finally, I have to commend Mr. Proulx for enlightening me and many others to the opportunities of not only owning land and making money, but maybe even more importantly, gaining valuable knowledge that myself and my family will use to better our financial futures. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS BOOK TO ANYONE LOOKING TO MOVE UP AND GAIN KNOWLEDGE ABOUT LAND BANKING THROUGH WELL WRITTEN AND ENTERTAINING BOOK!

This is IT! Simple, clear, and complete information on investing in land

When people think real estate investing they think multi-family or apartments. Land is so often overlooked because of a lack of understanding the true value. If you've ignored land investing previously, now is the time to consider it. Pay Dirt is a well written, easily understood book which explains in detail how investing in land can be made affordable for most people. It covers common pit falls to avoid, and provides details that can lead you to winning investment strategies. It maintains a balance of the necessary information so that even a novice can get involved, without 'talking down' to experienced real estate investors. The author has a winner here, and you will too if you decide to invest in a copy of "Pay Dirt". I highly recommend this book be included in every serious investor's reference library.

Pay Dirt - Great advice for the small investor

Darren... Way to hit a home run. Pay Dirt walked me through the pitfalls and the benefits of investing in land. After reading the many stories about the wealthy investor making even more money in land, you have outlined ways for the small investor to benefit as well. The book is very well written.

Pay Dirt

I was a raw land investor, after I read PAY DIRT I got more confident than ever. This book clearly shows you how to avoid scams, which location to look for raw land to landbank, and for the small investors, how you can afford to landbank with using a small amount of money to invest big parcels like 30 acres to 100 acres ( not to invest small acres, builder donft like it)and getting benefits from it. Also, it tells you when and how you should zoneing to get maximum profit and who will be your buyer, you just need to invest a little money for the book, and time to get rich in land investment, God not create raw land anymore. The united statesf population keeps rising rapidly and expanding so that land investing can become a very little hassle and best investment on earth. You must read this book ¨ Pay Dirt. Dennis Wong

Finally, a primer on land investing

For those of us with average incomes but who are interested in getting more bang for our investment bucks than what we can get in the stock market, this book will be a revelation. The best land to invest in usually is too expensive for us. That's why hucksters keep selling worthless swampland and the like -- they know we average folk want a piece of real estate, but can't afford to pay much. So we buy a dream and end up with a lot out in the desert or somewhere else and can never sell it ourselves for a profit because nothing can be built on it. Well, author Proulx shows us how to find empty land that is valuable because it's where builders and developers are heading next: the ever-expanding suburbs of livable metropolitan areas. Proulx also shows how to raise the investment capital and leverage an investment. And he tells us how to watch out for the ever-present scams. All this, in 12 short chapters illustrated with cartoons. The book itself is a wise investment.
