Let's talk about Country Living

I'm going to look into that USDA program.. I think I may have to get somewhat creative honestly. I think our house may fetch us approx $180K.. the properties we are looking at in this area are running $250K or more. In what we are looking into.. the $250K would be a stretch for us... unless we take it on and are "house poor" which isn't a smart idea nor one I desire to take on!



I'm also curious about the farm/tillable part of real estate. I'm really not certain if any of these properties come with the tillable land.. and if so how we go about renting that land to someone. Chances are the farmer who rents it would be the renter.. but this is all very confusing to me. I'm not sure how to tell if the house and land is just the house and yard or house/yard/farmable land mix? Any way to know that when looking at properties?
