Nevada
On the complete opposite side of the spectrum, this is for people looking to buy land. Every potential land owner should consider location before almost anything else.
Land prices vary dramatically based on where you purchase. In New Jersey, you might pay $200,000 for a single acre of land. In Nevada, you can buy land for only $2,000 an acre.
Buying land can be a very prudent investment and there are few places better for it than Nevada right now. In much of the state, you can find land as cheap as $350-$600 per acre.
