Paddy land is land that is usually used for growing rice, either continuously throughout the year, or alternately with other types of crops, such as secondary crops. However, rice fields can also be an investment asset with great potential and very profitable. Rice fields as a long-term investment are considered to have potential. Moreover, with the increasing number of infrastructure developments, the need for development locations is also increasing, including rice fields. So, apart from property such as houses, apartments and plots of land, you can also buy rice fields as investment assets. Make no mistake, you can still find rice fields in urban areas in the country, such as in the cities of Bogor, Bekasi, Depok and Tangerang. Like property such as houses and other buildings, the land you want to buy must have complete legality. You can review the legality of land from the land status and legal basis. Such as building use rights certificates, business use rights. For this reason, you can use the services of a notary to review the legality of the rice field land you want to buy. After ensuring legality, you can arrange for a certificate of ownership. This is very important to do to find out the clarity of the property status of the land you are buying and anticipate land disputes in the future.
Apart from ensuring the complete legality of the land, you also have to pay attention to the location of the land. If it is for investment purposes, then choose a good location that has good access and is a strategic location. So, in time you can sell it at a high price. The way to find out if rice fields in an area have good investment value is to choose a strategic location and continue to follow developments in the sale value of the land from year to year. When you get the right land, you can resell it. The person who will buy your land does not have to be an end user, but could be an investor or developer. Knowing land price data every year is the key to investing in rice fields. Generally, the increase in land selling prices per year is around 5 to 20 percent. However, this lift can increase in value if your land location is close to access such as toll roads, malls, apartments, train tracks and the like. If the location of the rice field land you buy is in a remote area, you don't actually need to be discouraged, because you can find out the prospects for infrastructure development around the investment land through the local city plan. So, there is still positive potential that you can get.
Even though it looks simple, rice fields have various investment opportunities that you can take advantage of. When you own this land, apart from reselling it, you can also manage it in various ways. Among others are:
