Hick - 12/14/2025 12:28 If I buy $10,000 land today and get 3% back as rent but the land is worth $12,000 in 2 years what percent return did I get? This is what has happened the whole time I have been farming.


Approx 2.5% (subtract property taxes) unless you sold the land for $12k. 

The land appreciation isn’t realized until it is sold.    And that is a very very good thing.     You do not want to be taxed on land appreciation without selling it.
