Buying Farmground

Posted by Allan in Ne on September 14, 2004 at 05:25:24 from (148.78.243.24):

Hi All,

The wife and I have been on a mission the past couple of months trying to find a little farm to "play" on and use as our old age retirement home.

We've been out running the wheels off the car in three states trying to find just the right chunk of dirt.

This is turning into work!

We're finding that the good ones just aren't for sale and if ya do happen run across a decent lay out, the neighbors of that particular piece of ground will "one-up" ya every time when you get right down to the actual negotiations.

Boy, I'll tell ya, those big boys are really some heavy hitters when it comes to buying land!

Actual property value just does not enter into the equation at all and a guy has to do some really fancy footwork to keep the transaction kind of "quiet" until it is all settled. :>)

We think we have finally found just the right farm, but now we are sweating out the "behind the scenes" dickering that no doubt is going on in that particular neighborhood. :>)

I wasn�t this nervous when my kids were being born,

Allan
