If you've got an "eye" for land, that's where to invest---then and now. Nova Scotia waterfront is a world-wide hotspot. I've never had an itch to make money but could have made enough flipping land here to buy any double 20 times over. When I came home to a second career 40 years ago my buddies teased me for buying an old farm on the sea for $5,500, house, barns, furniture, everything. Yes, I paid three times the going rate but sold it to the government for a provincial park 25 years later for $700,000. Land beats the market any day.
