Might i suggest you look on county websites for properties that the county has taken over for non-payment of taxes. Some times you can score plots of land for a steal!

I picked up 8 acres here in southern Iowa for $29,500. It is timber ground, so it was cheap. Tillable farm ground can sell for around $10,000 an acre.

Nice, what a steal!

That is some awesome advice, thank you!
