Should I use my home equity to buy a plot of land, then take out a mortgage to build on that land? My wife and I live in Minnesota and have built up about 90k in home equity, according to Zillow. Recently, a large, empty plot of land was listed for almost exactly that same amount in Iowa, right next to where we wanted our forever home. Potentially, we could build a new house on this plot. That said, we hadn’t planned to move for another year…

Teacher in a Strange Land: Learning to Read in Middle School Teacher in a Strange Land: Learning to Read in Middle School I am fascinated by the increasing politicization—no other word for it—of reading instruction. How to best teach reading has always been contentious in the United States, from the 1950s look-say method featuring Dick and Jane, accused of letting Ivan slip ahead of us in th…

Payoff house or buy land We (early 30s) live out in the country. We have about 200k that we were going to use to pay down our mortgage and only be left with 50k. Recently, land that’s adjacent to ours has come on the market after the previous owner passed away. There are four lots and it would be great to buy the lot that neighbors our land. However since it’s an auctio…

Free land to build on I (38F) recently talked my dad into letting me build on a nearby lot he owns. He currently lives on 8.13 acres and inherited a 14.8 acre parcel when his mother died.

Hong Kong to London by land next summer I’m wondering how long this would take and how much it would cost at minimum (meaning living as frugally as possible). Only real concern I’ve had in the past was having to pass through Iran or Russia but I’ve discovered it’s possible to travel across the Caspian Sea from Turkmenbashi to Baku or Alat. I haven’t planned out the specifics but the g…

When you land in Venice… I will always defend Venice when it comes to prices. Many will tell you: “Oh Venice is so expensive!” These are all bullshits. Those saying that are fools taking selfies in San Marco Square and then sitting at Cafe Floriana, paying 12 EUR for a cup of tea. You can’t complain when you play the Instagram tourist. You deserve to get ripped off. Ho…

Toyota Says There’s Room For Both The Land Cruiser And 4Runner In Its Lineup The new Land Cruiser was a surprising addition to Toyota’s lineup.

This new Land Cruiser threw all that out. Here was a… Read more…

I inherited land and am not sure if I should keep or sell. I got 80 acres of land that is involved in a fracking agreement? I can’t retract the agreement. I will get $200 a month from it for the foreseeable future. Should I try to sell it? What would it be worth over in the South-east US? I am trying to look up what I can sell it for and I can’t find something relevant. I only see prices for selling fra…
