Buying land in Israel

http://www.buypropertyinisrael. com

Not possible. Everything is owned by the JNF/KKL. At most, if you buy a semi-detached/detached home – or even an empty lot – you’ll get a 99 year lease from them.

You’re on the right track. Owning land in Israel is the single greatest long term investment in the entire world.

@ZSK
again, Overwhelming Majority is NOT the same as ALL

The home and land we own is ours and not a land lease. The house and land we sold was not a land lease. We pay heavy taxes each year on the land and improvements and the family has done so for decades.

Again, usually, does not mean always

@CTLAWYER

And my point, which I was trying to make delicately , is that quite bluntly, your privately held land – as well as that of others – is completely and utterly irrelevant to the thread.

The OP asked about buying land.

You and I both know that privately held land is impossible to get ahold of unless you’ve got a ton of money, and that privately owned land usually stays within the family (you’re proof of that yourself – I assume your property in Herzliya Pituach will be passed on to your kids, grandkids, etc.). People who do not have a ton of money or whose family did not buy land during the Mandate Period don’t have a stone’s chance in you-know-what of buying private land today, unless they go into Arab ruled areas and claim land as their own (and good luck with that brainless idea). This doesn’t need to be said. I don’t know the OP’s financial situation but more than likely she can’t buy the sort of land you’re talking about. So again, your case is irrelevant.

What i said before still stands.

Unless the OP is a multi-millionaire, she’ll end up spending a couple million shekels for a 99-year lease on a piece of property. The exception maybe if she buy a farm, but to the best of my knowledge, those are also owned by the JNF.

@ZSK
You are correct that privately owned land is very hard to get a hold of unless you have a lot of money. We sold that house and land acquired by a relative in January 2020. I bought it from the relative in the 1990s. The purchaser paid us a lot of money, but wanted to own not lease land so it could be there for his children, grandchildren, etc.

I hate land leases. In 1970 my grandparents bought a condo in Florida with a 50 year land lease. They figured they were in their 80s and would not be around 50 years, so who cares. An aunt of mine has occupied it since her retirement. This year she got a notice that the land lease was up. The successors to the condo developers, now want an additional $500 month land rental and will only give two year leases. The market value has plunges. She has no investment in it as it sits in a family trust.
She is buying a new condo with no underlying land lease and the trust will sell the condo for peanuts.

I would not consider buying a home with a land lease. B”H I don’t have to.

Regarding the apportioning of the Land under the auspices of Moshiach, there are two things to remember. First, the ultimate delineation of the Land is clearly spelled out in the final perek of Yechezkel, so we know which Tribe will be situated where. Second, navuah will return with rebuilding of the Bais HaMikdash, if not sooner given the right circumstances. With that, it will not be a problem to understand the specifics of Yechezkel, or to ascertain who the original owners were of which plot of land and who their descendants are; subsequent land sales would certainly be handled in the appropriate manner. That might not be how things are handled when the time comes, but it will be possible to do.

Dear Someone,
Thank you! But that does not tell us about the property owners (assuming there will be any) at that time. If they will be paid from some fund, then it is a worthwhile investment.
Why do you assume that there is no prophecy today? And why would one prophet be interpreting Yechezkel? Would that not be his own prophetic understanding?
