9.9 acres Tri level home

On January 31 one of my Elk brothers told me. I would like you to have you as one of my neighbors. He went on to say that the home has been vacant for quite a while.
I said Jim where do you live. He said just outside of town just past Tures place.I told him give me the address and I will check it out. Pepper my dog and I went out to the property and I took about 90 pictures of the place.
I just could not believe that someone would abandon the property or let it go into foreclosure. I said to my self I want it for my own home. I could hardly wait until my wife came home. When she got home I took her out to the property and she fell in love with it. The next day I started my seek and find mode. Due-Diligence at the court house.Running down names and addresses and phone numbers and talking to people about the property.
