There are just few investments as safe and profitable as buying land. Rural properties are far more profitable than any other dollar investment. There is a high annual profit (about 3% and 5%) in a stable currency, besides, the annual increase in your real assets also makes a difference. It is also important to bare in mind the value rise lands undergo along the years. The usual mid and long term tendency for value is to rise.

This is the main reason why the tendency for land value is to raise; especially in Argentina, which has privileged conditions.
