We've been preapproved! Help me celebrate!

Got a call from our mortgage broker! We've been preapproved for a farm loan! YAY!

Congratulations!

THANKS!!! Who knows how many goats we can have now! AHAHAHAHAH! And maybe an alpaca or 6. hehe

 

[ksalvagno]

I'm not THAT far from you and I do have alpacas!

Good luck with whatever you are planning to do. Setting up a farm is fun and scary at the same time.

WOOHOO



I wish we'd been preapproved for a farm mortgage but we're with a city bank branch so no-can-do. Either way we ended up with 8.38 fabulous acres that is zoned for horses and the like.

Congrats!!! It is rather exciting becoming a homeowner. The only sucky part is the taxes and repairs. We just bought new cabinets and flooring for our house that we have owned for 1 1/2 years.

 

[Mini-M Ranch]

Yeah, we pay taxes, insurance, and flood insurance (that is 4 times more than our regular house insurance) on the house we own now. We don't currently have very much land. SO, we are REALLY excited to get some acreage. YAY!

 

[lupinfarm]

How much land do you have right now Mini-M?

We're on 8.38 acres, I would have liked more... like 15 acres but it wasn't in our budget and there weren't many... habitable... properties with that amount of land when we moved.

Right now we have 2 acres. We bought this house right after getting married and had no intention of raising "animals" Last spring, my mother in law bought my kids some chicks for the spring. It just kind of ballooned from there. lol.

Now we want to get outta here so we can keep more than 5 goats and a few chickens. I am thinking we'd like about 20 ish acres. I don't think we could maintain much more than that, but that would give us plenty of room for the goats, chickens, a few turkeys and eventually we'd like to have a few Zebu.
