<prompt> Human: My dad is really into property investing and I wanted to do the same. I picked up at 10 acre parcel in Joshua Tree, CA for 13000 with all the money Ive saved from working back in 2011. I had thought it was worth way more since the property taxes were pretty high. Turns out its worth about 13600 been rising about 150-200 a year since 2011 now. The reason the taxes were high are because Im paying a stupid 300 bond to a nearby water company.Im considering the following options: 1 Sell the land and put that money into my savings that I will use soon to downpay a home. 2 Split the land in 2.5 acre parcels and try to get more out of the sale like this. 3 Hold on to it as long as I can and stomach the 400 property tax every year.Any advice?  <response>: Unless you plan on building on the land someday, sell it. Your property taxes are eating up any increase in value on the land and then some. You could probably talk with a local realestate agent about whether it would be worth splitting it up or not.
