Smart move.20 years ago I thought about buying an acre of land here in se PA for $15,000 but with three small kids at the time money was tight.That acre just sold for $100,000.Where are you going to get a better return on your money then that?
Obviously land in the northern part of PA is alot cheaper but it's still the best investment in my opinion.
Having said that my piece of heaven is going to my sons,their children and so on.
