[QUOTE="hillbilly beef man, post: 974937, member: 4786"] 130k for 118 acres would be a great deal around here, but beware when her family gets involved. I rented a 31 acre farm in my back door for years. My father and grandfather before me have rented this farm. We all had kept the fences up and helped the landowner at his house anytime he needed help. He had a mill and we let him borrow trucks and equipment anytime his broke down. I considered him a friend. I had tried to buy it from the landowner every year with the same response that he wanted to hold onto it, but he would let me have first dibs on buying it since my family had always been so good to him. I found out he was selling it from the surveyor marking off a lot. Turns out some niece wanted an acre to build on, and this was more important than his word. I was able to buy the rest of the farm, but I am going to have a neighbor 200 ft from my back door in the middle of a now 46 acre farm. Moral of the story, promises mean nothing when family gets involved, and an oral agreement is not worth the paper it is printed on. [/QUOTE]
