The Real Estate Investment Opportunity

Very few times will you have the opportunity to purchase real estate in a region with some many natural attributes and very strong probability of growth at a fraction of the cost being offered by other developments. However, potential real estate purchasers should ignore the hype and examine statistical information and facts to make an intelligent decision.

Here are some facts to consider:

1) Location – Location – Location
The demand for Colorado Mountain Property has reached all time highs. Hartsel Springs Ranch is located near the geographic center of Colorado, surrounded by the highest and most famous mountains in the state. Twelve state wildlife areas, several world class ski areas, the state’s best white river rafting and a number of Colorado’s prime tourism attractions are within an hour of the property. On property are 29,000 acres of prime real estate including miles of Colorado’s Gold Medal wild trout streams, natural hot springs, herds of buffalo, elk, pronghorn antelope and mule deer, stables with 30 head of horse, historic buildings, Indian lookout points and structures, old stage coach trails and more. Hartsel Springs Ranch is the essence of the Wild West. All of this is only 1.25 hours from the Colorado Springs and 2 hours from Denver.

2) Timing – Timing – Timing
If you look at the graph below showing you the land value curve you will notice that the most opportune time to purchase real estate in the very early stages of development. The reasoning is simple. Buying vacant land when there is low probability of future development can be risky. On the other hand if one waits until there is significant development the price appreciation has most likely already been factored into the price thereby reducing the upside potential. At Hartsel Springs Ranch you have the opportunity to get in near the ground level and enjoy maximum opportunity.
