Best land

[Guest]

well thankfully no one is that stupid around here ! I have heard of a few landlords that got SFA for rent in the end tho. they have to remember if farmer makes nothing that is what they will get in the end

I wonder if pike was paying taxes on stuff he rented ?

[farming101]

Perhaps the tax bill is embedded in the rent payment? Not sure.

[SASKFARMER3]

NO Pike wasn't paying the taxes.

Norquay area is right up there as far as canola ground for Saskatchewan. RM #333.

[SASKFARMER3]

Norquay def is in the Canola Area. Most get so much a acre.
But lesm here is a quick take on Real-estate Agents in Sask.
Most know jack shit and are useless.
Their you have it.
Land came for sale in our area a year ago the guy didn't even phone any one and the farmer around the said property. The farmer was low balled into selling and lost over $120000.00.
Land had investors beside plus old money plus young bucks plus South African Farmers who moved here and are looking for dirt.
The guy made one call and low balled the deal. Agent didn't phone any one else and its was some prime dirt.
So most are Useless.

Sounds like someone is having "First World Problems" and their money(savings) isn't making any money. Oh woe is me!!!

[SASKFARMER3]

The sad part about investors is that they all think farming is so profitable and farmers are just falling down all over for them and their land. F$%k me what a crock.
Land is land and only will be rented if the price is right.
Enjoy but way better places for putting money and turning it into more quick.
Hell buy 6 dollar lotto max today and you might be $55 mill richer or a cup of coffee for you and your friends and they all are richer for the time together.

And saskfarmer3 that is why I visit here as often as possible.

Sorry if I offended anyone. All I wanted to know is where is the prime located in Saskatchewan. Isn't better that a Canadian citizen residing in Sask. own the farm land rather than A European or Asian investor. I really believe that this is the very best investment you make in your life and that's why all the world is rushing in to pick up these properties while we stand by and bitch about it.

well then don't make horseshit comments "that most tenants are paying taxes" what a crock of shit !!!! there is a lot of rented land around here and NO ONE is paying taxes . if you want the truth go ask your RM administrator how many renters are paying taxes . they know and will tell you , instead of listening to idiot real estate leach pricks . all they do is screw up fair markets cause most of them are greedy beyond belief . did they also tell you about the tenants that couldn't collect rent??? I know that for a fact because a local auction of one of our upstanding farmers who went tits up , and there was a lean on his equip that was at the sale , by the landlord . this was common knowledge but real estate agents probably leave that out . a few years back we were selling some marginal land that was to far away , told real estate expert what we wanted , he laughed and said good luck on that . we sold it to first person that came for 50% more than he wanted to list it for . we were happy , buyer was ecstatic , he looked like a blundering fool . of course we knew his real reason for the low listing was so that his big client friend that farmed near it could get it for SFA. , and probably nice kickback for him . what other reason could there be ? don't get me started on that corrupt bunch of BS

Not sure about the rest of you but the comment about land rented for taxes to me, means:

Land is being rented for a dollar amount equivalent to the amount of property taxes assessed.

Although this was very common in some areas a number of years ago, I don't think too much land is being rented for this low of a dollar amount currently.

Too much money has been made in farming the last number of years allowing rent to rise.

Competition of investor groups, farmers who are greedy have also driven rents up

Lesm, thanks for posting! Was just discussing the other day that we would much rather drop 300K on land right now than difference on a piece of equipment. I think if you are looking for good land in a good area...ie: young farmers to farm it, some old $$ to keep the price up, not too far from elevators, decent labor pool etc. Good luck with your investment plans.

[SASKFARMER3]

Lesm you didn't offend anyone! Like I say to family if good dirt comes available why would I let, or need them to buy it! I can and farm it.
Basically farming isn't a money maker in the short term.

[newguy]

buying land right now is a very good investment if you got lots of money and just want to something to give to the next generation.
