You’re in control of your corn.
You’ll never be in full control of your land.
For me I will get that land when 10% of my stack can afford it. And by that time I hope it’s safe to borrow against.
My logic behind this is if I need to flee because of any myriad of reasons, I still have the corn to go.
No one can really advise you on the best decision for yourself. But it is a good mental workshop to think.
A way I think of it is;
The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The next best time is today.
Do you have goals and plans with this land that will suffer if you don’t act now?
I struggle with your same conundrum as well my friend.
All our goals and dreams are different.
