Is It Time to Stop Renting? Here’s Why Land Ownership Might Be Your Best Move

The most important thing about owning land is this: it’s yours.
You’re not paying someone else’s mortgage—you're investing in your future. You can build the home you want or move your manufactured home onto the land. And with our program, your monthly payment will never increase. Unlike renting, where landlords can—and often do—raise the rent, your payment is fixed for the life of your loan.

You can also pay off your loan early at any time, with no penalties.
I truly believe that owning land and a home is one of the best ways to build wealth in the United States. That’s what we want for our customers.

For example, we sold lots in Austin for $60,000—those same lots are now worth $120,000. That’s $60,000 in equity gained by the people who bought those lots. If they had kept renting, they'd simply be paying more each year, with no return.

But what if someone’s hesitant?
What if they’re unsure about making a long-term commitment, like a 30-year loan for a piece of land?

That’s a fair concern. But I’d say this:
In our entire history, we have never resold a lot for less than what it was originally sold for. Prices have either stayed the same or gone up. That doesn’t mean values can’t fluctuate—this is real estate, after all—but we work hard to keep our land affordable and well-located, which keeps risk low.

Also, think about this: you have to live somewhere.
Why not live somewhere you actually own?
There’s pride in ownership. It’s something you can pass down to your children. It’s a place you can truly call home.

We care deeply about the communities we build.
Our subdivisions have restrictions in place to ensure safety, comfort, and a true neighborhood feel—even if they’re outside the city center. Our community manager does an amazing job making sure our neighborhoods remain secure and well-maintained.

Of course, you can own land in the middle of nowhere—but we’re thoughtful about proximity to schools, grocery stores, and daily conveniences. We choose good roads and accessible locations where people want to live and can commute easily to work.

So, when’s the right time to buy?
Honestly? There’s never a “perfect” time—just like starting a family. Sometimes you just have to take the leap. Almost every customer we talk to says the same thing: “I wish I had done this sooner.”

If you have any questions, concerns, or just want to chat about the process, give us a call any of our sales centers. We’re here to help you find your perfect lot.
