Well, Ill probably get a some flack for posting non-interesting stuff again.... But I had to share my joy with my good friends.

I have found a way for us to get our homestead!!!!!! Its thru the USDA, a rural farm loan. AND guess what ? We actually qualified cause we are broke and have no place to live. HAHAHAHA I will get the forms in the mail tomorrow. Anyone who was looking for this kind of thing can email me and Ill share the web site or just go to USAD.gov and click on rural housing.

Sorry Chuck for wasting valuable space.... But Im so Excited.... Thanks for understanding... Kristean

I must have missed out on the valuable space discussion, haven't been around for a week or two. I would think that this would be VERY valuable information for a lot of people, though.

Now, that said...YEA! Congratulations, I know this is something you have been hoping and praying for, and I hope everything works out. Let me know!

Good for you Kristean. I don't blame you for being excited. You should be! I'm really happy for you.

Hi Kristean

I actually think the sarcasm of that poster was directed at Chuck, and intended to make sure you didn't feel dependant on only him for advice.

I felt they were inappropriate, but thats my opinion.

dont be dissa pointed when you get the application, it will be about 20 pages , long, and contain a ton of other alternate info , when we got ours , it weighed 1 lb ,

also , for a DIRECT loan from the governement, you need to be REJECTED by at least 2 other creidors, BEFORE you can even send in your loan to the FSA!

its opk, luckily, its not too hard to get rejected for a loan , when you have no "real" farming/homestead exp.
