Mowing acres of lawn willingly every week feels like one of the least fulfilling hobbies possible.
I live on a .23 acre lot … I despise mowing.Mowing acres of lawn willingly every week feels like one of the least fulfilling hobbies possible.
You'll learn a heck of a lot more from your F ups than successes. And there will be plenty. We bought acreage off a lake 5 years ago. Never had this much land, or a boat, and all the maintenence. The thrill of overcoming obstacles is THE BEST. A few years from now you'll be laughing at what you thought were huge challenges and are now met head on with a quick solution.Thanks! I am excited and scared shittless at times.
BOOOOORRRRRRIIIIIIINNNNNNGGGGG !!Moral of the thread: buy a condo with no maintenance.
mowing for me is actually relaxing, most times. takes me anywhere between 2 1/2 - 3 hours to do it all in one setting.Mowing acres of lawn willingly every week feels like one of the least fulfilling hobbies possible.
serious question-Moral of the thread: buy a condo with no maintenance.
Bring the emotional-support goat to the next HOA meeting.A goat makes a FINE pet. Have the HOA tell you differently.
And there's an HOA for a property with 4 acres? They can pound sand.
This times 1000. For whatever reason, horse people tend to struggle with payments. I know a couple of area large animal veterinarians that have decided no more horses. 80%+ of their delinquent payments were horse related.This will probably step on some toes but I sold feed for 15 years and have known several individuals who have run boarding stables. When dealing with horses the biggest issue is Accounts Receivables. Most horses do not cash flow very well and this can be a constant struggle.

serious question-
what do you do around the house?
i love being able to walk outside, with no neighbors, go tool around in the yard, or fix something around the house, or mow, or anything, really.
i cannot sit in my house and watch tv for 8 hours straight.
JFC hes asking for help. get your boomer ******** out of here
RagingCloner gonna rage. Interesting that I got "dumb" and a "winner" on the same post. I wish the OP all the success possible, but he stated that he was flying into this adventure somewhat blindly, having no experiences with horses or an acreage. I was simply pointing out other things he may need to addressDon't want to rain on your parade but maybe those things should have been budgeted before the purchase. What about manure handling and disposal? Liability insurance for those on your property? Self care until the tenant doesn't show up for a day or two? Snow removal so the tenants can get to their chores?
I guess I can see that, being able to physically do something and see results at the end is rewarding. My preference would be towards landscaping the area for plant variety and lower weekly time investment rather than a ton of grass that my guess is never even gets stepped on. Its almost like people are wanting to farm their yard more than anything.mowing for me is actually relaxing, most times. takes me anywhere between 2 1/2 - 3 hours to do it all in one setting.

“Next thing you know there’s money missing off the dresser and your daughter’s knocked up. I’ve seen it a hundred times.”Until the condo building itself needs serious maintenance / upgrades and no one wants to pay for it.
Next thing you know there's mold everywhere or maybe your rooftop swimming pool ends up in the basement.
pissing everywhere because im a man and i can
Probably because 95% of horses in the Midwest generate no income but generate expense every day they are alive. Feed, vet, farrier, tack, boarding, truck and trailer, etc. It is a never ending negative cash flow.This times 1000. For whatever reason, horse people tend to struggle with payments.
