Here me outšŸ™ƒ

Not because it’s clever. Because when the house you want is out of reach, a piece of land in a town that’s filling up is sometimes still in reach — and dirt doesn’t care about your timeline the way a mortgage does. Here’s the version I’d actually do. Buy a parcel I could afford without flinching. Sit on it. If I had the money and it made sense, run power, water, sewer, maybe a road — not because improvements are guaranteed to pay off, but because a piece of land somebody can build on is a different thing than a piece of land somebody has to figure out. And then in a few years, maybe that’s the start of a down payment on the house I love. Maybe. Land can sit. Land can go sideways. I’m not going to tell you it’s a sure thing, because I’ve never seen a sure thing. But I’d rather own a piece of a growing place than stand outside it. I’m a Realtor, not a lender and not a financial advisor — talk to one before you act on anything a person says on the internet, including me. What would you buy if you couldn’t buy a house yet?
