If you want to invest in land wisely and steer clear of frauds and scams, you must get the facts. Never, ever, make an investment based solely on what you read in an online newsletter or bulletin board posting, especially if the investment involves a small, thinly-traded company that isn't well known. And don't even think about investing in land on your own in small companies that don't file regular reports, unless you are willing to investigate each company thoroughly and to check the truth of every statement about the company. For instance, you'll need to:
' get financial statements from the company and be able to analyze them;
' verify the claims about new product developments or lucrative contracts;
' call every supplier or customer of the company and ask if they really do business with the company; and
' Check out the people running the company or the people associated with the company and find out if they've ever made money for the investments made before.
