<prompt> Human: I dont know much about this investment but I was told theres a lot of money after 5 years if I plant teak trees and sell it. If I invest 20k here, I might get 6 acres of land minimum.Assuming each acre can hold 500 teak trees.I was also told selling 500 teak trees might get me 50k after 5 years. The bigger it is, the better it will be. I dont know much about teak trees and the lands here are very good. Surrounded by a lot of hills and the chances of natural disaster hitting this place is very low. Other than fire, I dont have to sweat much. But Im also thinking of taking insurance.The risks include: irresponsible trespassers, villagers that doesnt agree with my work, freedom fighters yep, law etc. Im 18 right now, Im legally allowed to have a land. Im planning on investing with my parents money. My mother have retired and I plan on living with them still. My dad agrees with this. Is it worth it? How would you want me to proceed if it is? I was also told theres no need to do anything after planting.  <response>: A quick Google search shows:Teak is one of the faster growing tropical hardwoods half an inch per day, still, it takes 20 to 25 years to grow into ONE mature tropical tree to final harvest. Guadua grows up to 8 inches a day, or 5-6 months to grow into a full size stem culm.Feb 20, 2012Guadua Bamboo vs Teak Plantations Guadua Bamboo guaduaBuying decent land is always a good idea if thats what youre looking to do. Itd definitely be better than blowing all that cash on useless crap. Any type of farming will require setup, tools, and equipment though. There maybe be some unknown costs too. I think its a great idea if you think you can do the work to turn a profit. Or just being a land owner is awesome and you could build on it or camp or make nature trails... We bought 3 acres in central WA a few months ago. Its been rewarding building it up and making it our own. No money makers yet but theres definitely room to grow over the years. Some basic livestock like sheep can turn easy profits too. Just keep the grass green and either cut the wool to sell or process, or sell the lambs for meat.
