That\u2019s especially true when you are self-employed.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You\u2019ll have to consider how your employment status affects your planning. This is true both in terms of what documentation you\u2019ll have to provide a prospective lender, as well as how the land you select will affect you and your animals.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You\u2019ll have to account for <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.horseproperties.net\/blog\/12-things-know-buying-equestrian-real-estate-2\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">factors such as<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Having enough room for a barn or stable<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Access to water<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The amount of shade the property offers<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Whether it\u2019s large and flat enough for your animal(s).\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rocky soil could damage hooves or cause missteps that lead to injuries, and so can steep slopes. Wetlands and heavily forested areas are just wasted real estate on a horse farm.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You have to go into the real estate transaction prepared, both practically and financially speaking, if you want to be successful in purchasing the horse farm that\u2019s right for you and your equestrian family.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Identify What Your Horses Need<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Just as you would with a home, you\u2019ll need to make sure any horse property you buy is adequate for its intended use. You wouldn\u2019t buy a one-bedroom home for a family with six kids and two live-in grandparents. Similarly, you wouldn\u2019t purchase a small horse property if you planned to keep a large number of animals there.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Make a checklist of what you\u2019ll need. Is there a barn on the land? Do you plan to build one? You\u2019ll have to have some way to shelter your horses from the elements. You\u2019ll also need a tack room for your equipment and enough space to feed and water your animals.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Are there trails nearby? Do you want to build a corral? In addition to the health and happiness of your animals, the features you choose will also determine how much you\u2019re willing\/able to spend.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Identify What You Need<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In addition to the commercial services you\u2019ll offer, will you or a caretaker be living on the farm full time? If so, you\u2019ll likely need a mixed-use property, which can affect your financing options. Zoning laws vary by location, so be sure to do your research.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Many horse farms have been around for a while and come with homes, barns, and other structures. But because they\u2019ve got some years on them, they may need some fixing up. If that\u2019s the case, consider rolling the cost of renovations into your mortgage by using an <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.investopedia.com\/terms\/f\/fha-203k-loan.asp\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">FHA 203(K) rehab loan<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. You can do the renovations yourself, but they have to be approved and inspected periodically by a contractor. And they\u2019ll also need to increase the value of your property.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you are wondering whether property improvements are within reach, you can estimate your costs first. Start by determining the required improvements. Then do some quick research. If you need a new roof, for example, you can use the size and pitch to determine the price using an <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.homeadvisor.com\/r\/roofing-calculator\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">online roofing calculator<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. If the projects look to be within budget, then you can pursue formal quotes for labor and materials.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Separate Your Finances<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once you know what you and the horses on your farm will need, look for properties that fit the bill and a mortgage that fits your budget.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Since you\u2019re self-employed, any prospective lender will want to see a clear wall of separation between your personal finances and those of your business. If there isn\u2019t one, the lender will have a hard time telling whether your business is stable and whether you\u2019re personally solvent.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Resist the urge to shift money back and forth to cover the cost of a business investment or to splurge on a vacation. Instead, pay yourself a regular salary you can use for personal expenses, and leave the rest in the business. This is helpful in illustrating a stable income.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Keep an eye on your taxes, too. Keep up on your <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.irs.gov\/businesses\/small-businesses-self-employed\/self-employed-individuals-tax-center\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">quarterly estimated tax<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> so there aren\u2019t any surprises in the spring. If you take too many deductions, it will make it appear as though you have less income, which will make it harder to qualify for the loan you want. For the two years leading up to your mortgage application, minimize your deductions and take the short-term loss for the purpose of achieving your long-term goals.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If your horse farm <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">is <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">your business, and you\u2019re looking to expand by purchasing a larger property, this could help you secure financing as well.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Go Into the Process Prepared<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Since you won\u2019t have any W2 tax forms, a lender will want to see two years\u2019 worth of your business tax records to ensure you\u2019re on solid footing. Be sure you <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.horseproperties.net\/blog\/bookkeeping-tips-horse-property-owners\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">keep good records<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> so there\u2019s no question you\u2019re a good loan prospect.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Of course, you\u2019ll look even better if you have a significant down payment. The more money you can put down, the less you\u2019ll need to rely on a mortgage, and the more serious you\u2019ll look to a lender. Besides, you don\u2019t pay interest on a down payment.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Be sure your credit\u2019s prepared, too. Good credit is a key factor in obtaining a loan, and it can also get you the best interest rate. In fact, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.self.inc\/blog\/how-to-build-credit\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">having good credit<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> can save you $21,595 in interest payments on a 30-year loan just based on the difference between excellent credit and fair credit. It takes time to build good credit, so start addressing this when you start planning, too.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You\u2019ll need to answer a lot of questions as a self-employed person seeking to purchase a horse farm, but the answers are out there. Healthy preparation, a good calculator, and the right resources can help you find them.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em><span style=\"color: #333399;\">By Jessica Larson, <a style=\"color: #333399;\" href=\"http:\/\/solopreneurjournal.com\/\">SolopreneurJournal.com<\/a><\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There is a lot to think about when you\u2019re buying a commercial horse farm.
