Rural land Nth. West N.S.W. is the best investment by far.good farming country can be bought for between $500 and $550 /acre can be leased at 7-8% on long term to very sound farmers who can stand a dry year or two.payments can be on a quartley basis paid in advance. The other option is to lease it on a sharefarming basis where the land owner gets 25% of the gross that would show returns up to 15% with slightly more risk in dry years.The capital growth in this land will out perform any other investment. The land should be worth between $750 and $1000/acre within 5 years.Because of the $AUS these farmers are achieving huge prices for their grain and world shortages of wheat and global warming will underpin these prices for years to come. The country can be double cropped in most years ie.winter crop of wheat harvested in november followed by a summer crop.The returns are massive in the right year.
