Unless there is a development eminent, that land will never be worth over 2K an acre undeveloped. Buying land to shoot on, with no other purpose, is going to be worth only the enjoyment you get from it, and not much else.

Also, not knowing your family situation, you should outline the terms of the agreement between you and your family before purchasing to know who gets what in a sale, buyout prices, sale prices and who owns what percentages. I know its family, but there are always situations where people will have problems. Particularly with the passing of one or more members of the agreement, as you will likely be purchasing the land for years and years.

Thanks for the tips buddy
