Jonathan Livingston Seagull by Richard Bach

Apr 23, 2016

Andrew discusses some of the pros and cons of owning agricultural land. If you're interested in purchasing agricultural land, then you must have a trusted lawyer by your side to make sure everything is in compliance with the law and that the deal you're about to go through is 100% legitimate. Too often you hear horror stories of people getting screwed over by bad apples. Andrew also recommends to look into agricultural land throughout Eastern Europe, as it is often far cheaper than agricultural land in Latin America and many other countries. 

 

Key Takeaways:

 

Andrew's Editorial:

[2:20] Jim Rogers believes sometime in this century farmers will go back to holding all the wealth.

[3:00] Andrew talks about The $10 Trillion Prize.

[4:40] On a large scale, cows take a lot of land compared to rice fields.

[4:45] This is why people talk about agricultural land being so valuable.

[6:20] There are other compelling reasons to own agricultural land. 

[7:55] Andrew wants your feedback about the investment he is making.

[9:15] Being on the ground is often better than being online.

[9:55] Most people don't have $7.2 million to put into agricultural land.

[10:05] Andrew is acquiring a small cattle ranch in Eastern Europe because it's cheaper.

[11:15] If you can't get the top lawyer in town, then get the best lawyer you can and pay them!

[13:55] There aren't a lot of good metrics on what agricultural land is worth, which is why you need to have people you trust, like lawyers, by your side.

[20:15] Have a lawyer, have a lawyer, have a lawyer.

[23:05] There are places where you can get residency if you purchase agricultural land.

It's that time of year again where, guess what, you're paying high amounts of taxes. If everyone around you is getting excited about their refund check and you're not, you already know you're different. This year is the best time for reflection and to find out what you truly want. Don't wait another year to achieve the financial freedom you so desire and crave.

 

Key Takeaways:

 

Andrew's Editorial:

[4:15] There is a growing feeling that the western government is there to take care of the people and if you don't feel that way, you know you're different.

[8:00] Don't save. Rely on social security, because the politician said so.

[10:30] Focusing on why a politician is bad does not help solve the problem. You have to understand how the impact of so-and-so person being elected will affect you.

[11:25] Eastern Europe has some of the lowest tax rates in the world.

[15:20] If you live in the US full time, expect to pay.

[15:25] You're looking for a new way out? A new president isn't going to fix that.

[16:35] If you're uncomfortable with writing the IRS a big check every year, then you need to make a change.

[20:15] This is a good time of the year to reflect on where you really want to be financially.
