Eastland, thanks for your input. I guess the good thing is that we are not real picky on where the land is located as long as it is with 1-2 hours from Dallas. Otherwise, it's too much of a hassle to drive out every weekend. We're confident that in time, we'll find a place that can support a 10+ acre lake. The problem is that many of the websites that advertise land don't have enough information about the specific property, specifically GPS coordinates, Topo maps, etc. Our main worry is that we'll spend a ton of money on a place, and never get it back. Of course, everyone I've talked to says that you can't go wrong buying land as an investment. Do they know what they are talking about? By the way, can you recomend any websites or realtors that could help in our search? Thanks a ton!
