As I look at land prices they vary widely of course depending on region, access to cities/work and so on. I have seen a lot of affordable land out in the western states but have seen the issue of water rights come up. Does anyone have a good source of info on how that applies to land owners out west. I would love to get 40+ acres at a good price but if it means I can't raise animals or have a way to grow my own food due to restrictive water access issues then it's not really a bargain. On the other hand in the other areas where land is somewhat affordable you are looking at very high property taxes (northeast area of the country). At this point in time land costs where I live in Arkansas can be pretty wild depending on region, anything with farming/livestock potential usually comes at a high premium. I am a younger guy, fairly new to this so any help is appreciated. I know not to buy anything before attending the class but just trying to get an idea if my dreams are realistic so I can plan accordingly for my budget.
