I'm looking for Land in the Florida area. I was told by a friend who
bought and sold land and made double his money in Pt. St Lucie that Ocala
was a good investment too. However, I'm looking to buy land to hold, then
build on in the next 5 years for a vacation home. Ocala sounds like a
place I'd like to be. So, I go out to the realtor.com and new home
websites and find land for $15,000 to $40,000. What's the deal here? It
sounds too cheap to be real in today's hot market. What could the "strings
attached" be here?

Ocala is a nice enough town, but it's not a garden spot. It's fairly rural,
in the middle of the state. Probably you're looking at a piece of
farmland.

Florida isn't a bad place to invest -- lots of places are being built up.
Ocala will probably be one of them... eventually.
