It seems with all the money being printed all over the world to pay off government debts and keep interest rates low, LAND will be the best hedge against inflation.

Why would anyone anywhere buy government bonds. The interest rate will not cover inflation.

Gold has already skyrocketed.

Land in America or a stable country has got to be the best place to invest today.

Any ideas?

Government can take your land away. There is no such thing as private property. The government(state) owns it and you get to pay rent, that they determine is the market rate.

An ounce of gold buys the same today, as it did in 1912.

Well, they can, but it is not very likely.

Investing in land is good, if you know when and where to invest. If you invested in 2007 in Las Vegas, then you would have lost a lot of money. If you invest now in Austin you will probably earn quite a bit, because the immigration from California will drive prices up.

The Gov has abused eminent domain before and is more likely to do it under this president than anyone before him!

Only the government can own land, we just rent from them by way of property taxes.

Private property and estate are mutually exclusive.
Private property is absolutely owned by an individual.
Estate (real property) is held with qualified ownership.
Check your state's constitution for the delegation of power to tax - it will use terms associated with estate. If private property is mentioned, it will be in regard to it being protected.
The question is : why do people register all land and house purchases as "real estate" ?
Check your local laws.
===========================
LAND. ... The land is one thing, and the estate in land is another thing, for an estate in land is a time in land or land for a time.
- - -Black's Law dictionary, sixth ed., p.877
Estate in land is "another thing". Estate is time in land or land for a time. Remember that.
"OWNERSHIP - ... Ownership of property is either absolute or qualified. The ownership of property is absolute when a single person has the absolute dominion over it... The ownership is qualified when it is shared with one or more persons, when the time of enjoyment is deferred or limited, or when the use is restricted."
- - -Black's Law dictionary, sixth ed., p. 1106

Ownership is qualified (not absolute) when it is shared, or time is limited, or use is restricted.
Remember, estate is land for a time.

What is estate?
"ESTATE - The degree, quantity, nature and extent of interest which a person has in real and personal property. An estate in lands, tenements, and hereditaments signifies such interest as the tenant has therein."
Black's Law dictionary, sixth ed., p.547


"REAL ESTATE .... is synonymous with real property"
Black's Law dictionary, sixth ed., From p.1263


"REAL PROPERTY ... A general term for lands, tenements, heriditaments; which on the death of the owner intestate, passes to his heir." Black's Law dictionary, sixth ed., p.1218
Estate is interest in "real and personal property", which boils down to qualified ownership.

What is NOT qualified ownership?
PRIVATE PROPERTY - As protected from being taken for public uses, is such property as belongs absolutely to an individual, and of which he has the exclusive right of disposition. Property of a specific, fixed and tangible nature, capable of being in possession and transmitted to another, such as houses, lands, and chattels.
- - Black's Law dictionary, sixth ed., p.1217
Land and house that is absolutely owned is private property.
From the Communist manifesto: "In this sense, the theory of the Communists may be summed up in the single sentence: Abolition of private property."

Welcome to the People's Democratic Socialist Republic of America.

I look for land to buy every day of the week. In fact, i'm about to drive out to take a look at a few acres here in the DC metro in just a few minutes.

The worst current land grab under eminent domain is being done by TransCanada in an attempt to obtain land for the Keystone pipeline.

A Canadian company has been threatening to confiscate private land from South Dakota to the Gulf of Mexico, and is already suing many who have refused to allow the Keystone XL pipeline on their property even though the controversial project has yet to receive federal approval.

Just ask all the people who invested in real estate how that's working out for them right now. It's all tied together.

That is why the good communists are against private property. They don't want the serfs to acquire any wealth at all. Look into agenda 21.
