>>1072058What aspect of buying the land are you needing help with?
>finding landOkay, the land is out there, hit up all the various website realtors and check estate auctions.
>affording the landWith the "when I retire" line, I highly recommend starting a second IRA or other low-risk, money-building investment and adding as much money as you possibly can to it. Talk to a financial advisor (most of the big-name investment firms such as Edward Jones do free consultations), and be aware that most IRA's have fairly stout penalties if you withdraw money prior to turning (currently) 65.
>other points to considerEven with you doing a lot of the work yourself, there's a lot of expense that goes into developing undeveloped land. Wells aren't free, if you want community sewer/electric/water and your land is out in BFE Nowhere you're gonna have to pay at least some of the cost of them running lines clear out to you, maintenance and upkeep on solar or wind power is pretty intense and usually involves some cost, etc. Also keep in mind that "when I retire" implies you're gonna be old, and you physically won't be able to do all the shit you can now, so you'll have to pay someone else to do it for you.
