Farmland

Farming generates returns from both crops and land appreciation. Because it produces both active and passive returns, farmland is a very attractive income-generating asset class. With investment platforms like AcreTrader, FarmTogether and LandEx, fractional farmland investing is now very much a reality.

We research and write about farmland opportunities from time to time. Follow this asset if you’re interested. We’ll send occasional updates.

Thanks again for your ​feature on DXYZ​! I invested and paid for my entire Spain vacation, as it cruised to the mid $90s from going public around $8-10/share. That's the kind of tax problem I like to have."

I read your emails pretty religiously. Your issue on investing in tax liens is one of my absolute favorites. Great coverage for an otherwise totally grey area that seems to have little mindshare within the broader REI community.

Alts brings me unique investment opportunities and insights that I wouldn’t have known about otherwise. For me, it’s a simple and enjoyable way to stay informed on financial topics that are way outside of the mainstream news sources.

Alts is the only email newsletter I've read from start to finish from day one. The effort that Stefan & Wyatt provide is the next-level analysis you've been waiting for. They break down each asset in detail, metric by metric, and serve it up in a brief email with graphics and links.

I've recently discovered the Alts newsletter, and am enjoying it. They don't strictly focus on digital assets, which actually helps it keep it more unique in my opinion.
