Let's talk credit scores... Having a good credit score is an essential part of preparing to purchase a home. A high credit score demonstrates to lenders that you are a reliable borrower and can make getting preapproved for a loan much easier. Your credit score also affects the amount of interest lenders will charge you, so having strong credit can potentially save you thousands of dollars in the long run. Improving your credit before committing to a mortgage is an important step to take, as it puts you in better negotiating power with lenders and helps ensure that you make the most fiscally responsible decision possible when taking on such a large financial commitment.

Yesterday, March 21st, was National Ag Day. From food to the clothes on our backs, agriculture provides the very necessities of life, so if you didn’t have a chance yesterday be sure to thank the farmers and ranchers you know for their hard work and dedication.

“Agriculture is our wisest pursuit, because it will in the end contribute most to real wealth, good morals & happiness.” —Thomas Jefferson

Six critical aspects of buying a farm or ranch property:
1. Where will you get the money? Not all lenders deal with ranch or farm properties. If you need help coming up with the money to buy a farm, contact me, I can give you names and numbers of lenders that deal with Agriculture loans.
2. Land and livestock needs. One of the first steps to take when you find a ranch or farm property you’re interested in is to figure out if it’s the right size for the number of animals you hope to keep.
3. Zoning Considerations. Next, you’ll need to ensure that the property is located in the proper zoning district (agricultural) and that it’s also zoned for the livestock you’ll keep there. You can find zoning information on the Fremont County website.
4. Water rights. Anyone familiar with farming or ranching knows the water rights can make or break a place. It is important to know exactly what the water rights are on a property you are interested in.
5. Drinking water and waste management. Buying a ranch or farm typically brings with it the expense of having the well and the septic system inspected. It’s important to have the septic pumped out and thoroughly inspected. If you need to install a system, you’ll want to have the soil tested (a “percolation” test) to determine if the land will support the size of the system you have in mind. Lenders often require water quality tests for farm and ranch purchases.
6. Infrastructure considerations. Barns and other outbuildings on the property should be professionally inspected. If the property lacks the buildings you require, factor the cost of erecting them into your offer. Likewise, the fences and irrigation that need to be installed.

As a Farm and Ranch Specialist, I can help you through each of these steps. Give me a call today and let's talk about the steps to get your farm or ranch operation started!

Finding the perfect pillow combination to bring life and style to your living room couch can be a daunting task, but it doesn't have to be. A great way to start is by choosing a few bold colors that will become a theme throughout the rest of your room. Once you've established a color scheme, you'll want to look for pillow shapes and sizes that will add dimension, texture and interest. From floral throw pillows to oversized cushions with pretty prints, there are endless options available. Mixing patterns can also be an exciting way to add character that won't make the space feel too bulky or overwhelming. Consider using materials like velvet for a luxurious look or linen for something more relaxed. Finally, use any remaining accent pillows to highlight small pieces of art or photos in frames on your coffee table! With the right balance of colors, shapes and materials, creating the perfect pillow combination will instantly transform your living room into a cozy oasis.
