[QUOTE="Bestoutwest, post: 1462890, member: 19397"] When we bought our place it was a nightmare. We moved to this area for a job and I told my wife to not look at real estate for at least a year. My wife has a problem. She loves that stuff. So 9 months in we were looking for a place. We found this small little place that was undervalued b/c it was a short sale. 5 months later, and a lot of heartbreak, we didn't get it and lost some money on the deal, too, after paying for a few things to be done (inspection, applications, etc). We moved to another rental and played the waiting game, looking and looking for the "perfect" place. We put in another offer on a place that was way too little acreage and bordered the old family land. There was a farmer renting several hundred acres that threatened to walk from the lease if we didn't build a weirbox for the water delivery b/c he didn't want to share "with no city folks who will steal his water." It would have cost $15,000 which the FAMILY WAS WILLING TO PAY!!! (if you knew how little lease land there was here you'd know how stupid they were for getting played like that). We walked. So, we sat around for a few more months and found our place. It's perfect! The acreage could be a bit more (but honestly, who on here doesn't think that way?), but we have literal million dollar views. I can see the sunrise and sunset every day over the rocky mountains. I have minimal neighbors. It's got a very convenient location for living in the country and our land is 2/3 surrounded by a big farmer that I'm hoping won't sell until I'm long gone. Good luck and keep looking! [/QUOTE]
