What's the hunting lease rates in the area like? Small property it might not be enough for a house but leasing, pe for selling hunts preferably, might give you some breathing room. I enjoy hunting too much myself to lease it, lol 16 acres of it is fields that are currently being leased to farm. Doesn't add up to enough per year to count for anything. May as well let them farm it for free

How long can you wait on building your new home? If you buy the 45 acres at what you call a good price, how long will it take for you to sell the other half to another buyer? If that time is short then your delay won't be that long. Also you could use a construction type loan for the start of your home with that becoming a mortgage in a determined amount of time. You may be able to bridge a loan or mortgage and basically hold two properties and or mortgages at the same time. I have worked with several farmers who held Farm Credit service loans and mortgaes. You state that all the proceeds from the sale of the other half (income) needs to be used to reduce the original land loan. Why is that such a bad thing. You wll have signifcant equity in that 22.5 acres with your 25% down and all the proceeds from the sale of 22.5 acres that you should be able to then mortgage your home as well.
Bryce I would say the longest we would wait to build is 2 years. I would sell the other half within a week of putting the for sale by owner sign out at the road. The market for land around here is insane. I would like to sell to someone I know or one of my friends. Possibly my little brother if he can afford it at that time. I would definitely be using a construction loan for the home. I believe I could sell the land for what the remaining 75% balance on the total would be so I would not owe the bank anything. By putting the 25% down I am depleting my savings so I would have to wait for awhile and then get my construction loan to build

Buy the land and sweat the small stuff later. Scale back the wedding some. Talk to different lenders. Be a little more flexible with your plans to eventually get to your long term goal.

No way should you even consider buying it if you have any sort of idea of selling half of it. The old timer knows what hes doing, you either buy all of it or none. You will 100% regret splitting, selling or any other wierd stuff. Also consider not building a house on it, honestly sometimes land is better without a ugly manmade house put on it.

Buy the whole thing and keep it. You will regret splitting it no matter who you hand pick to buy the other half.
As for a house, consider building it in 2 steps. Build your attached 2 car garage and finish it as a temporary living/ dining area. Above that have your bedroom(s). Then a few years down the road add on the rest of your house when you can swing the extra money. This strategy has worked well for several of my immediate family.

Buy! Live in a camper if needed, you probably won't get a second chance. This X3... I read somewhere that on average, a large piece of land (I think they were talking about ag land) only comes upon the market once every 80 years. If that's true, this is your only chance to keep that entire piece of property. Seems like you have a good career, Id buy the entire thing and worry about building on it a few years down the road. You will kick yourself down the road for selling half of it.....good luck on whatever you decide.

having a legal survey and it's cost will take quite a chunk up front Yes but worth it. I looked at a lot of ground in KY before we bought our farm. Several track were listed as 160 acres or 120 ect but often would not be much more than 80 or 100 if surveyed. Often the reality company was not exactly sure where the lines were either. Kind of bad when me wanting the property is contingent on having a came on the year round spring coming out of a cave running down the hill and it right around the line. It was worse In hill county. The old method of measuring followed the contorted ground making for longer distance and equaling more acres. But that is not how it is figured today its strait lines. KY probably gets taxes on millions more acres than there is acres in the state.

Something pointed out in a PM that I should have said from the start is we do not have a house right now. We can’t sell the house we live in now to pay for the new property or new home like a lot of guys do. This is our first shot, and I think the mountain may be too big to climb for our first land purchase and home building.
As bad as I want this land, I refuse to start our marriage out with a poor financial decision that will follow us for years to come

If you can as somebody who is 31 I can tell you that I wish I would have bought a chunk of land, paid it off and got the house later. You only live once and as long as you know how to make money you can always make more. Cant always buy land you want. Just my .02 cents.

If there's a way you can swing it, you'll NEVER regret it! Not sure how old you are, but marriage in the first years is supposed to be tough. Don't do something you absolutely CAN'T, but don't pass it up cuz it's not "easy". My best regards!

I would definitely consider buying the land and putting a used mobile home on it until you can afford a real house, if that's an option where you live.
