I bought something I wasn't planning. Have the 10 acres in SW New Mexico I bought a couple months ago to build on. Drinking coffee a month ago I found a deal I couldn't not get. 2 miles from the 10 acres, just down the road a ways. 3 acres with a newer manufactured home. Well, solar sufficient, carport, 2 sided deck, and additional water rights. Also back line borders on Gila National Forest land. It wasn't an easy buy, had competition, and 6 people inquiring the day we bought. This Reserve valley is 80% forest service land and 20% private, so it is limited and desirable options on buying. Here is a pic off the deck.
Put retirement money into this buy and it has good VRBO potential as this is prime elk country (people come from all over to hunt there), so beyond my part year living need for a few years, there is economic logic also, or could sell later, but I like it so (?).
It was built by a French survivalist 20 years ago and has a hidden concrete bunker underneath with ventilation from outside. How weird / cool is that?
I got it for the price of a nasty run down project house on a city lot here in NW Montana.
