Not Likely. The 20acres we rent now we are pretty much being kicked off of and have until august 1st to vacate. So either we get this place and move or we sell all livestock, get rid of all but 2 dogs, and find an apartment to rent.

Hopefully, the 'other people' get their heads out of their rear ends and it all comes together in the end.
Good luck with i'd hate to see you have to move in to a dang apt. I've done it and I hated it..it's like livin inside a can.

It would be completely miserable for us. Just selling the livestock would be miserable, we have traveled many miles all over the state to acquire what we do have and this time of year trying to sell it all we will be lucky to get 1/2 of what we paid.

I'd rather pitch a tent and lease some acres, than to live in an apartment....but, it does get cold up that way....even living with the animals in a barn is better. If ya moved down here, I'm sure we could work something out with ya until ya could get settled..........we have an empty 16x60' trlr that is vacant at the present time and about 15acres not being used.

As nice as that would be I doubt i could get the same sort of income i get here and my mom is still going thru stage 4 breast cancer so i need to stay fairly close....well want too. We could camp for a bit but i have an office job and it would be hard to look "presentable" camping 24/7.

We know someone who has a barn they MAY let us rent if it comes down to needing it but they want $300/month and us to buy their feed for their livestock and make hay for them for free. So definitely not ideal as we would still need to get rid of dogs and find a place to rent which around here would be $400/month minimum.

 

[CntryBoy777]

Well, just keep it in the back of your mind then....just in case...and as long as I'm breathing, the offer still stands....but, I will keep praying for ya and that things will get Better and an ideal situation will present itself....

Thank you @CntryBoy777 I do appreciate it a lot!

I don't even know what to say. I have no idea what bureaucratic BS is "forcing" the "will not hold" in light of the facts and circumstances.

IF they decide to put the place back up after you miss your date NOT due to anything you have done wrong I guess you can make a "new" offer on the property. Who knows, since you are 1 meter from the finish line on the loan now, they might "reaccept" your offer? Can you talk to the current "owner" directly or are they behind a "firewall"?

I have to wonder about the $300/mo rent on the barn IF you pay for their feed AND make hay free?? That seems really bizarre. You have no way to know what your monthly expenses would be. They might decide their animals need to eat "filet mignon" every day instead of the cheap "Costco" stuff they get now.
