AcreTrader Review:  My Investment in Cash-Flowing Farmland

Why Invest in Farmland?

People gotta eat! Besides the obvious fact that farms produce food and you eat food, there is some historical data that farmland has been a strong investment with relatively low volatility and strong returns.

How AcreTrader Makes Money

AcreTrader acts as the real estate brokerage when they buy and sell farmland, profiting from the 5% or so in transaction fees.
