The keys are to start with the end in mind (the vision and the compelling why) and then work backwards to choose the right strategy (or heck, any strategy that remotely works) and then ride that horse patiently!

If you truly are the type to give up so easily, then your statement says it all, if not, get back on that horse, learn from your mistakes and don't repeat them.

I know it feels like beating a dead horse on the 50/2 thing.

NickWhen I hear horses, I think of the rules for Hobby Losses. 

I've seen it a lot where people get hyped up about the idea of owning a business and put the cart before the horse and nothing ever happens.  

I know this is an odd ball question, but do any BP members have/own/run a Horse boarding stable?

I have $20,000 to invest now (but that is the cart before the horse...need a little more "education first") and will have another $50,000 when I sell the townhome my ex is living in in Littleton. 

The 2 acres is buildable, with utilities already, surrounded by horse pastures and a golf course.

hi all my first post have been looking a while to , so much to learn here and i am looking for some help , here goes stupid really but i lent $110,000 to a relative who is an active realator for six months at 5% that was over 2.5 years ago , and no repayment and it gets worse , i now know they are underwater on there home by 200,000 or so and i am also aware that there is also a second mortgage which may be a private deal, bank is in court trying to get possesion , there are also other debts which debt collectors are trying to collect so a pretty big mass they are in , and i am also in , we have had lots of promises etc , the property is a farm and the mortgage is against the house , barn and 8 acres , my loan has been secured against 27 acres of farmland [horses] and i am told had a 2009 valuation of $175.000, this land has no mortgage , but it also has no road acces , only access is through the farm , but i am told there is a local law of access granted through continued usage , as you can see i am thinking worse case scenario now , long first post sorry . jim

@Justin Sheley I can grow carrots on concrete if I put enough horse manure on it.
