Finding an Ideal Small Farm for Deer Hunting | DEER DIRT w/ Bill Winke S2 EP. 2 

Thanks for the kind words. I really appreciate it. God bless you and your family.

You got it Chad. You are so right. A small farm in a great neighborhood is better than a big farm in a poor neighborhood (and a lot cheaper). Good luck.

That sounds like the perfect setup transamguy. I look back on the even the mid-90s and really kick myself. You could have literally bought half of the land in southern Iowa at that time for the value of timber on it. Basically, free land. No internet at that time and no one had any idea what those trees were worth other than the guys buying them. Man, if I could have one mulligan in my business life, I would take it right there. I could have bought literally thousands of acres of land without hardly any money! Crazy.

We all wish we had bought ground "back when....", but it is all still pretty much relative. The point being is to buy ground when you can! The "when you can" is the difficult part! I WISH I had bought my farm when I was forty years old, instead of fifty-one years old, and I am now sixty-eight years old. BUT, when I was younger, I could not afford to buy a farm. I was raising a family, working all the time, and just "making do". Then, as I got older, I was making more money, and had a bit more leisure time, so I decided "NOW WAS THE TIME". And my family was on board with the purchase. Yes, I paid more than "back when", but I also had more funds, so again, it was all pretty relative. I am sure my son will be saying, "I wish I had bought a farm back when."

That's right. You buy it when you can. If you are still young and don't have a lot of family expenses or commitments you can start a self-employed career and hopefully that can set you on the right course to have the extra income long term. Good luck to all.
