Not there starjj. All farm animals are permitted.

He might not get it for $40K but that would be a good starting point

Listed for $64,900 on this realtor site!

I read it at 1:30 am! :yawn: It sure enough woke me up. :eek:




.

Well the link someone provided it says clearly Horses permitted which like I said usually means ONLY horses

No it is just a catch phrase. I dont even understand why the realtor put that in that listing. There is no zoning out there which means there are no restrictions.

Yes which is the original list price.

Same for me.

40 ACRES. How many trains a day do you think goes past that place? Im guessing between 1 and 2 doz

Does that mean its gone or when it was foreclosed on?

Im assuming that it was able to be sold by a REA After that time Shy.

Rea just called and said that the listing agent said she didn't think it could be got to by less than a 4 wheel drive. Course, shes a woman not wanting to get stuck, or having the mud experiences of a former NE Kans farmer. The driveway must be pretty bad tho.

Just means that the forclosure was finalized on that date and that the property is free to be sold.

I left a message with BN/UP RR to find out how many trains went past the place a day ballpark. no reply

Wow! Did I just hear the price drop?

You wont notice the trains after about a week, Bill. I lived next to a road that had a train track running along it, I stopped hearing them. I wouldn't have believed it possible but its true

yeah, but how many a day went by?.

How many u wimmins ready to jump ship and live 150ft say to a doz trains a day??

I think THAT would be cause for price reduction.

How many loads of gravel can you afford & will

the RR allow you to "improve" their ROW?

Get those questions answered and I do believe that Shy could be convinced to 'move'.

I hope you get your heart's desire in 2014, Bill.

Bill, I'm guessing that the house is a good 600 feet away from the railroad. The driveway is flat as a pancake except for 3 or 4 areas that are wallowed out and are full of water. I do have a 4-wheel drive pickup, but left it in 2-wheel drive all the way without any trouble. The driveway is not soft. You just need enough clearance for 12-18" of water.

bill it might be hard for them wimmins to get there BUT it is also hard for them to leave !!!!!!! good luck

So true!

From ages 9-16 we lived with a RR tracks at our back. The only time we ever REALLY noticed it was when they hit the whistle extra hard...step-father was an engineer (for a different RR) and some of the engineers just wanted to say "Hi!". Those whistles mean something.

Oh, and we also noticed when we had to wait to cross the tracks!

Mon

I've lived next to RR tracks and fire stations...After a few months, I didn't even notice the trains..OTOH, fire station alarms going off will paste you to the ceilings and take 10 years off your life....

Mammy and Lesley, Again I ask, How many trains went by your houses a day?

Nehi, I hope so too, BUT Im pretty sure my dreams wont be answered by living next to Hwy 66 and RR Tracks. lol

40, Im going out to the sale on 412 Sat. Ill drive by the place on the way to Xs in Oologah. My DD bought me a pocket watch offa E Bay. It just came in and shell leave it with X for me to pick up.
Im going to try to stick around the place for an hour or so IF I like it to see how many trains roll by.
QUESTIION. Is the road off Route 66 paved or not? My boy says IF its NOT paved, the train wont blow their whistles.

isn't that the truth. it was about a month ago around 4am. I heard them. thought they were passing by on the main street .happens quite often here. kept getting louder and lights were flashing through my bedroom window. they had turned up my street. 3 of them horns blaring lights flashing. me running from window to window. it was at the end of the street. I stayed up then. no way could I get back to sleep. ~Georgia.

Here they have a horn that sounds like a noise best spelled as GRUUUUNNNNNT. Real low and gravely

Probably 3 in the day and 3 overnight went by. Some women love trains, too. You don't know how many go by a day, dont start out by picking sour grapes

REA EMed me. Said she thought there might be another driveway into the place away from the RR ROW. But she thought it was in even worse shape than the original. Said she would get back with me on it.

Sure hope it works out for you Bill. My town has a lumber mill across the road, runs all day/night. I think a person can get used to most sounds. Of course there is some difference between summer and winter (open windows). I watched that crazy honey boo boo show a couple of times and the train is right in their yard. LOL.......


It looks like a nice place.

Make sure you look both ways when crossing the tracks, I have been double careful ever since my nepher started as an engineer. He goes your way pretty regular.

As we said, YOU DON'T NOTICE IT MUCH AFTER A LITTLE WHILE!

If you are concerned, call the RR company, ask to talk to dispatch and ASK them how many trains they route that way each day. Or, just keep itching about it.

Mon

I lived from 10 years old to 20 years old right next to railroad tracks, like right next to them, and probably 15 to 20 trains a day, double that during harvest time, after about 3 weeks or so you don't even hear them, and yes they blew their horn at the crossing right by the house.

Mammy, ive said twice that I was going to call the RR, and then that I did call the RR, and Im going to do it again. Right now.

40, I live on a 20 now. Its rectangular shaped. The narrow ends are 300ft wide. I cant see how the house on that place could be 600ft away from the tracks on 8 1/2 acres

Just called RR. They said they couldn't/wouldn't give that information out.

You may not hear them after a while but they are still an external obsolescence which will negatively impact the resale of the property.

Dutchie, external obsolescence not only affects the resale, but the primary sale as well. The external obsolescence will be accounted for in the current sale as well as all future sales (until someone removes the railroad).

This may be an opportunity for Bill to purchase more home than he can afford, if you get my drift.

Bill dosent want more home than he can afford. Having more home than he can afford makes him look better and better to people. NOW, More BARN than he can afford, That's something else LOL.

Yeah, you are right.

The trick is to get the lender Bill is going to get the money from is comfortable with this deal.
