No such thing. Ask away!

!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules (interactive)

Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.

Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.

Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.

Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.

Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.

Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.

On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.

If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.

Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.

If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.

Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.

Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.

Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

As investment, I bought this, instead of stocks. Any ideas on what to do with it?

Location:

  • 75km (1hr) to a big international airport. Airport has direct flights to most EU capitals (2-4hr flights)
  • 50km to city center
  • 25km from nearest large residential area (500,000+ population)
  • 5km from massive organized industrial area (government supports factories here)
  • 35km from a rich residential area
  • 1km away from the village (its old and mostly depopulated) and animal husbandry area

Access:

  • There is public transportation, but one has to walk 1.5km after leaving the bus.
  • There is no direct road access to the land. You have to walk like 200m after leaving your car.
  • 1km road to here is non-asphalt and its a bit bumpy ride. When it rains, it gets bad here. It rains rarely

It is quite peaceful and quiet there. You can hear interesting bird sounds sometimes. You see no buildings, no cars and no humans anywhere near you when you're there, which feels great imo. You notice the air quality after you leave your car. I personally absolutely would want to live here for a while

Ideas

  • Trying to clarify this rn, but I think I can make $120-160/yr/decare from leasing the land to a farmer. Land is 25 decares
  • "Unique co-living opportunity with vegan food & yoga sessions" In other words, remote work / digital nomad village for people who want to work REALLY remotely :) I'd have to arrange electricity (solar panels and powerbanks), internet, toilet, shower, water, tents, mattresses/pillows/sheets, food, drinking water. (Though I don't know what people will do when they're bored here? Any ideas? Meditation would get boring after some point)
  • Sadly location isn't touristic, but it is 1hr flight away from extremely touristic areas. One of those areas, a city, was the most visited city in the world a few years ago.
  • I've met a few volunteers and they seemed quite willing to volunteer for whatever I decide to do here (if I do anything). For those unfamiliar: WWOOF and Workaway

Also- Any suggestions on where I should ask this question on the internet?

No answer here, just wanted to say you inadvertently wrote one of the most interesting geolocation challenges I've seen.

You could look into rewilding the land

How close are you to high voltage transmission lines? This might be good for an commercial sized solar farm.

[–] amksenin@lemmy.world 28 points 3 days ago (7 children)

There's a solar farm 1km away. I heard here it would require like $1m of investment and it pays for itself in 7 years but that's above my pay grade AFAIK

[–] foggy@lemmy.world 23 points 3 days ago

I mean...

So do 1/10th of that. 100k pays for itself in 7 years? Still have 9/10 of your land to play with.

Just a thought. turnkey operations are geist for land ownership.

There's some great ideas in this thread but sadly I think most of them are fairly high risk.

Doing anything in this kind of scope is going to cost a lot of capital. If it goes wrong all that money is gone.

I would lease it to a farmer.

Maybe reserve a corner where you can build up some basic facilities. I'm not sure what's popular where you are but here in Australia you can find places like this on hipcamp where you can camp for a few dollars a day.

Use your income to build basic facilities over time. Toilets, showers, kitchen, solar.

Regenerative Agriculture / Permaculture

If you plan to lease out to a farmer, find one that won't fill it with herbicides and pesticides. And maybe look to only lease part of it while you work to recover other parts.

I'm looking to buy land that needs to be recovered and have the budget that will likely lead me to a place like this that doesn't have direct road access. Good luck!

Sit around and be a land lord. The farmer slaves can just plant and harvest stuff for you oh lord of the dirt field!

place a monument to something there, and other stuff.

[–] Bosht@lemmy.world 17 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Couple ideas:

  1. Sit on it. It'll just passively build value over time
  2. See if any cell service providers want to setup towers. They provide passive income as well, monthly

You bought a bunch of land with no plan for it??

It looks like it’s been farmed recently. I don’t know what the growing season there is, you might be too late to start this year, but if you can lease it to a farmer for this season that at least has the land be productive while you figure out your longer-term plan. That way you can put plans in place to start work when the growing season is finished.

What will people do there? The same thing people have done for 10,000 years. Alcohol, sex, and games.

[–] cattywampas@lemm.ee 24 points 3 days ago (7 children)

If I had this land, I'd grow food.

[–] anamethatisnt@sopuli.xyz 18 points 3 days ago (7 children)

With all the rage about digital detox trips you could probably get people to grow food for you while paying you for the opportunity, if the marketing is done right.

I had a family member who owned land in the sticks. He said you can earn a passive income letting a farmer use it. He let a guy bail hay to sell.

Meanwhile, sit on it for 20-30 years. The land multiplied in value many times over. Eventually, it got sold to a development firm to build multiple neighborhoods after the nearby city continued to expand in that direction.

[–] zxqwas@lemmy.world 18 points 3 days ago

Does leasing the land pay enough to make it worthwhile? Gives you time to think.

If it's fertile land you should probably use it, or lease it, to grow food.

Farming is not easy. Until you learnt to be good at it you'll put in a lot of hours into making not much money after costs have been paid.

[–] JASN_DE@feddit.org 18 points 3 days ago (6 children)

Did you check that you're actually allowed to build and live there? Depending on where that is (i guess left out on purpose), you can't simply decide to build a house in a field.
