Reason being, the city has an "urban service boundary" that protects the surrounding farmland (horse farms) from urban sprawl.

Very 'rural', no cell service, slow internet, etc.Basically, there's 3 parcels side-by-side, one with a nicely finished 3br log cabin, the 2nd with an unfinished cabin that's been sitting empty for a decade, and the 3rd lot with a horse barn and foundation/framing that could be cleaned/converted into another dwelling.

It is certainly not for a novice as i have paid those sort of tuition in the past with some mistakes but i got back on the BRRRR horse again and so far, so good.

I charge them to add/remove animals and horses, convert to a month-to-month lease, etc.

This is where the Jokey matters in the horse race!

It gets expensive quickly for the seller if they fail to deliver possession (of course evicting/collecting is a horse of a different color depending on where the property is located, but at least you have the protection of a legally-binding document that is enforceable):17.

I hope you jump into the RE investment game soon but don't over think it and don't put the cart before the horse!  

(See the response and list of questions from Jeff in this thread.)Hopefully this experience doesn’t sour you on real estate investing completely and you’re able to get back up on the proverbial horse and have a successful investing career so that when you look back on this it’s just a small blip on the radar and a lesson learned, albeit a hard one.Best of luck to you.

Personally if I didn’t want them to have a pet when they moved in I still don’t  want them to have a pet We know they have not had a pet for years so probably they may very well have never owned a dog and don’t know how to keep it from damaging a houseI would say no as the lease we signed stated no pets I don’t see see the upside I on the other had rent houses in the country where every tenant  has a horse as well as dogs and some have chickens, sheep and goats  so I don’t care 

We rent the house on one side of the acre and the other just contains landscaping with horse stalls, no other structures.
