New foreign land ownership rules could change how rural land transactions are structured, diligenced, and closed.

If any party in the ownership chain has even a modest foreign nexus, these new rules could trigger reporting obligations that brokers, buyers, and sellers need to understand well before a deal reaches the closing table.

Are you ready for how that could impact your next transaction?

Join us for a webinar to know more.

Could your land generate $700 to $2,000 per acre in annual lease income?

More landowners and investors are exploring the income potential of leasing property for utility-scale solar projects.

According to RLI partner LandApp, solar leases can generate $700 to $2,000 per acre annually, with agreements often lasting 20 to 40 years.

But not every property is a good candidate.

✅ How do developers identify suitable land?
✅ What role do acreage, topography and grid access play?
✅ How can investors evaluate a property's solar potential?

The newest post on the Voices of Land blog, provided by LandApp, explores what landowners and investors should know about this growing opportunity.
