“Only buy today something you would be happy to hold for 10 years if the market shut down tomorrow” - Warren Buffet

Consider this advice in terms of land-banking: you could buy an empty plot of the land tomorrow, ignore it for 10 years and when you return to it, its size and shape will not have changed. Yet its value almost certainly will have. As the global population continues to grow, the amount of available land is going to continue diminishing. Demand will outnumber supply and the value of your investment will rise. It is simple mathematics.
