Can start with a blank slate . But would prefer buildings and housing .. would be very interested to put property or very large portion of it into an agricultural easement to keep NY farms from becoming housing developments and pass on this passion I have
Desired Tenure
I'd prefer owner financing until get a yr or so of numbers to go to the VA home loan process.... But I'm open to a lease or co-op
