As a real estate investor, you want to invest in a market where housing demand outstrips supply. That’s just “Economics 101”.
On the day that you buy, you can estimate current (rental housing) demand vs. supply, and often a few years into the future.
But what if you invested in a real estate type where you could better forecast supply vs. demand fundamentals for decades?

“Agriculture is going to be the big thing in the next 20 years.”
-Jim Rogers, renowned Economist and Investor
For 3+ years, I’ve been investing in agriculture this way:
- By buying half-acre parcels individually titled to me (for <$25K each). No “Wall Street” dilution.
- The investment produces cash flow from the annual crop harvest. Cash flow starts slow while the young crops mature.
- Turnkey-managed by a trusted, highly professional team: crop growth, harvest, processing, and sale.
- The team adds value through professional agronomy and soil science.
- Environmentally responsible.
- Making conditions better for the farm laborers.
- My land has appreciated 13% per annum since I’ve owned it, in addition to the cash flows. (I don’t expect this same high rate to continue.)
- I’ve walked my exact parcels. The company offers tours.
- The provider is transparent, visible, and communicative.
(I cannot legally “endorse” this investment. This is merely my experience.)

The provider offers parcels producing high-grade specialty coffee in Panama, and high-grade fine flavored cacao in Belize.
I toured my own coffee parcels in 2015, and just returned from a trip to Belize where I toured the cacao parcels. (Cacao is the base product for chocolate.)
I discuss my cacao trip with the company Founder on a recent GRE podcast.
Though residential turnkey real estate investing is my favorite, this agricultural real estate has:
- More predictable cash flows.
- No tenant vacancy.
- No tenant damage to units. The trees show up everyday, they’re quiet, and they know what to do – grow!
- Lower market risk.
- Appreciation potential.
- A low cost of entry for investors at <$25K per half-acre parcel.
- Either invest with cash, or Americans are often eligible to use IRA funds.
Yes, I’ve actually drank coffee with beans grow on my very own cash-flowing coffee tree parcels! (Isn’t that amazing?!) You could too.
