Is $20K enough to buy land? It's the wrong number to start from

September 23, 202640 seconds

Four adjoining lots in one Izard County, Arkansas town come to 1.13 acres between them, and as a single bundle the asking price is $7,680. So a $20,000 budget is not the constraint. What binds is what the lot lets you build, and what it costs you every year while you wait: that annual bill does not scale with acreage, so it lands proportionally heavier on the cheapest parcels. Text LAND to (307) 337-9113 for price drops and new lots.

What the lot lets you build, and what it costs you every year while you wait. That yearly bill doesn't scale with acreage. It lands heavier on the cheapest parcel. So budget for the wait, not only for the purchase price.
