This is where I give you my version of legalese and fine print.
I am not a professional investment advisor. I am not licensed with the SEC. I am not a Certified Financial Planner. I am not a CPA. And I am not an attorney.
What I am is an average guy who got sick and tired of being locked out of investment options that were only available to the 1% or Accredited Investors (in the U.S. that means you have a minimum net worth of $1,000,000 or have an income of at least $200,000).
I say this because I don’t want anyone to assume I have degrees or certifications that might be necessary if I were selling securities or real estate in the United States. I only provide my personal insights regarding offers to acquire international real estate to be used in the production of agriculture. I make a commission or referral fee from each sale.
I don’t have a crystal ball. All forward-looking information regarding potential financial yields are based solely on the information provided by the companies I represent. As usual, be advised that neither past nor current performance is a guarantee of future results.
Every company I represent has been thoroughly researched and vetted by me. I also research the specific products they sell — their history, demand and risks. That said, you should conduct your own due diligence. If you have concerns, run it past your attorney, tax professional or financial advisor to make sure this is right for you… I sure did!
As stated elsewhere on this site, I generally only sell what I own myself so you know that I put my money where my digital mouth is. Any examples in the product descriptions or elsewhere on this site are for illustration purposes only to help you understand the potential of purchasing farmland as an alternative investment.
You need to understand that there are no guarantees in agriculture. This isn’t like manufacturing widgets where the inputs are uniform and quality control can minimize defects to less than .0001%. Every investment, whether it’s stocks, precious metals, real estate or cryptos have their ups and downs. The same is true for farming.
In farming, pests, weather, labor issues, international shipping hiccups, drought and disease can all impact the returns on your investment and you should expect year-to-year fluctuations. You’re not buying a fixed-rate annuity or CD where the rates and gains are locked in.
Thinking back on my years growing up in Montana, I remember times when the wheat harvest was so bountiful that there weren’t enough boxcars to carry it all away; the silos were full and huge piles of wheat sat on the open ground waiting to be hauled to market. And the very next year the crop was so poor that it didn’t pay to hire a combine crew. That’s agriculture.
