Most buyers have no idea land financing works diff Most buyers have no idea land financing works differently than a home loan.Higher down payments. Shorter terms. Different lenders entirely.Before you start shopping acreage, it’s worth having a 10-minute conversation with someone who understands how land deals actually get structured … because the wrong financing assumption can kill a deal before it starts.What questions do you have about buying land in Texas?
Nearly 20 acres, two private ponds, and a 4,050 sq Nearly 20 acres, two private ponds, and a 4,050 square foot home set back from the road in the trees. This one breathes.Three levels. Multiple living areas. Wraparound decking that looks out over wooded acreage and water.Wood-burning fireplace, exposed beams, granite and stainless in the kitchen, and enough separation between bedrooms that nobody is living on top of anyone.Ag exemption in place. Dawson ISD. Minutes to SH 31, quick runs to Hillsboro and Corsicana, about 40 to Waco.
Room for trails, livestock, a garden, or whatever comes next. The kind of place you stop commuting toward and start living in.DM for the private showing.19.74 ag-exempt acres | 4,050 sq ft | 20880 N FM 709, Hubbard, TX | Navarro County#thetexaslandagent #NorthFortyLand #TexasLandForSale #NavarroCountyRealEstate #HubbardTexas

2.1 acres zoned R1 inside city limits.Eight single-family lots, 10,000 sqft, possible. Utilities available at the road... And depending on the conversation with the city, a townhome concept may be on the table too.This isn't raw land waiting for infrastructure. It's a positioned site in a growth corridor. Minutes from Chisholm Trail Parkway with direct access to I-35W and Fort Worth.Swipe through the aerials, the concept plan, and the rendering.

7 Texas data center announcements that should be o 7 Texas data center announcements that should be on every land investor’s radar:
1.	Meta — El Paso. $1.5B became $10B overnight. 1 GW of capacity. The largest single data center investment in West Texas history.
2.	Microsoft/Crusoe — Abilene. 900 MW AI campus. 2.1 GW total on one tract. What was mesquite shrubland 4 years ago is now the most valuable tech real estate in West Texas.
3.	Vantage Frontier — Shackelford County. $25B. 1,200 acres. 1.4 GW. Rural West Texas, full stop.
4.	Tract — Caldwell County. Nearly 3,000 acres between Austin and San Antonio. The I-35 corridor land play most people missed.
5.	Rowan Project Temple — Bell County. 700 acres. $700M. Ground broke March 2026. Central Texas is in the game.
6.	Data City — Laredo area. 50,000 acres. Off-grid. Hydrogen-powered. The most ambitious land footprint in the state.
7.	Google — Wilbarger County. Air-cooled, co-located clean power, zero operational water use. They’re already solving for the constraint.
Texas is second in the country for data center capacity today. It won’t be second for long.

Your neighbor’s land is assessed at $180K. Yours i Your neighbor’s land is assessed at $180K.
Yours is $240K.Same road. Same county. Same acreage. Neither of you sold.
That’s not a mistake that’s unequal appraisal, and it’s one of the strongest arguments you can bring to a protest hearing.Texas Tax Code Section 41.43 lets you fight your assessed value not just because it’s too high, but because it’s higher than comparable properties in your area.We dropped a full step-by-step blog today covering exactly how to protest property taxes in Texas …residential AND land/acreage. Deadlines, evidence, all of it.Link in bio. Video above walks through the whole process.May 15 is the standard deadline. That clock is already running.#TexasPropertyTax #PropertyTaxProtest #TexasLandOwner #NorthTexasLand #north40landgroup
There are two broker fee sections on the Farm & R There are two broker fee sections on the Farm &  Ranch Contract.Most agents are filling them out wrong.Here’s the difference:
The Ratification of Fee is a broker-to-broker arrangement and then there is paragraph 12. One is broker to broker and other is seller paying directly.The problem: using both in the same transaction can accidentally double the compensation obligation. TXR  has warned about this specifically.Hope this helps. #thetexaslandagent #north40landgroup #landintexas
