You don't know HOW lucky! Did I tell you about how we got the place? 20 acres and a 4-bedroom farm house for less than 1/2 of the normal price in our area! (we got it for $75,000!!!!!!) Just because there's an elderly couple living in a trailer on the property under "life estate" (which means they get to stay until they die). The place was up for sale for over a year because nobody would even look at it with the life estate. It's an awesome place and Max adores it. Even my kids love it (and they hate everything!)

The man and his wife are in their 80s and perfectly nice people. They're poor as church mice. After they pass away we're going to remove the trailer but we're glad they're there for now. If it weren't for them we wouldn't have been able to afford it!
