The land I bought 26 years ago and if sold today minus the taxes I’d have a return of over 9% annually.
That is just by using the increased value. Not the return from farming it.
I think what Boon is trying to say is today it’s darn hard to get that return from dirt. Today Impossible. (That could change as soon as the dollar is not the worlds reserve currency)
This being said, figuring opportunity cost, I’d have been way better off working at wall mart, investing every extra nickel in my grade school friends older brothers company’s he’s headed the past 30 years.
Cash, accrual, opportunity cost, accounting.
