The horses are bred for working ranch purposes,and many still carry the bloodline of the famous quarter horse, Poco Bueno; The cow herd is approximately 60 percent straightHereford with 40 percent Angus/Hereford and Brangus/Hereford cross.

Go find a deal off mls that pencils out, has terms you can work with - maybe look for a lamb that has strayed from the herd - maybe more achievable as a 1st conquest.

Unless it is an older home (ie radiant heat and no duct work) I would add it if at all possible.

I have herd conflicting stories.  

then you have the herd factor and what's hot.. 2 years ago it was Texas last year KC and INdy..

My friends who do own a lot of stocks simply buy more when it goes down and let the herds do the panic selling.

As I write this, I am having a radiant gas-powered 150ft heated driveway installed (it's a steep driveway that faces north) and I will be relisting this property in a week as soon as the new concrete is poured.I'm wondering if I have it listed way too low, and if this could be a reason it hasn't sold yet. 

Buy the first one smart and don't follow the herd.

Personally I like hydronic heat with radiant floors and a air handler for air conditioning but that isnt something you'd see in a flip usually.
