I know it doesn't make sense to buy 5 acres for the same price as 40 acres, but I found that alot of people don't want that much property. 2 - 5 acres seems to suit most people. We own 40 acres. We purchased it 3 years ago and it is now worth twice what we paid for it. Found several 40 - 60 acre parcels for $10K - $15K. Considering purchasing a few of those and subdividing them. Since most of these properties are on an OWC basis you avoid banks altogether.
It is not this easy obviuosly. Good luck but for the new guys this is not the place to start.
