Need Advice on Raw Land

[Derrick E.]

My dream property is finally available. The only problem is that it is just raw land with no buildings on it. Long term plan is to build/farm the land, but it would be a few years before we could do this.

Anyone have any ideas as to how I should try and go about this? 

Are there USDA Loans for Beginning Farmers to purchase raw land? 

I've never done a Hard Money Loan but would definitely consider that. How does that work? After we build or whatever we try to roll that into a conventional mortgage?

Any and all help would be appreciated.
