can't get that buck- how have you creatively financed

[Annette A.]

there is this piece of property i have had my eye on to own. well it is suddenly on the market... and i am not ready. I have no way of getting this carrot that has been dangled in front of my eyes.  AN AWESOME  price deal too... and its too bad, under another circumstance they would owner finance to us, but they are forced to sell it. its owned outright i cant give details as i have an idea i have yet to try. 

What are some ways you have non traditionally aquired a piece of property?

I recommend you contact the nearest Farm Services Agency office.  The USA has loan programs for new and small farms.  There also seems to be an organic farmers association in Maine that may be able to advise you.
