The land was irrigated and had horse privileges but the cool thing was it was in town and it sold within two weeks.

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.
