Looks good. I see a lot of potential, so a lot of weekends making improvements.

Yes, the inspector also found a few issues. Mostly questionable repairs by the seller when he remodeled the house. Nothing tasty sous me from wanting it though. Now to find out if it can be repaired by the seller or get the price knocked down accordingly.
The main issue is a structural beam under the house has rot and had 2x6 lumber scabbed on top of it as a repair.
that sounds a bit scary...... but fixable
Old house looks cool lots of potential. Tons of grass to mow though need some farm animals to mow it for you. See the deer like the green house.

I have 3 horses and 2 ponies, I won't have much to mow in the summer. But we did buy a nice lawn tractor last summer that will be perfect for this property and I have a small Yanmar tractor and brush hog for backup.
Good to see the priorities are in the correct order!

Great place and view but good god that price! Land seems to be high as hell everywhere except where I live in Oklahoma. It’s still around 1k an acre here
Development potential is driving up the cost of good land around here.
A friend of mine that is a contractor gave me an estimate for repairs and the seller agreed to lower the price and fully fund closing costs to offset the repair estimate. The home appraisal also came in at value so we are moving forward. 32 days to closing...

Congratulations.
Some prep work to get our house ready to sell once we close on the new place.
8 days to go (maybe 6 if closing early works out).

Closing is expected for Tuesday, 26 November now. That gives me a long weekend to move and finish prepping the old house to sell.

Good deal. Are you selling or renting the old house?
We are refinancing it as a rental but most likely just going to sell as soon as we close in the new place and get it ready.
Not sure if we are going to make it in time to close a day early or if it will end up on Wednesday now... waiting for an email to arrive and the underwriter to sign off so it can move forward with ordering docs. The waiting to schedule the signing is driving me stir crazy at this point. I want to get started moving already.
