Rabbits and Real Estate ...

Today, we started out by getting the Farm going and adding couple of rabbit cages to the total. As Bob went through the coops, he collected 5 eggs with one of those either a Peking or an Indian Runner egg. This egg happens to be 2 x taller than any extra large chicken eggs.

Once the Farm was up and running, we left for Reading Michigan to meet up with an American Rabbit Breeders Association judge from Tennessee to collect 4 Lilac rabbits from North Carolina. The story on the rabbits, they are in the top 5 rare breeds plus we become the 12th breeder in the Michigan. These little guys traveled with Randy from Charlotte NC to Nashville TN when they were given to josh just last night. Josh traveled from TN to Reading were he conducted a Giant Flemish Rabbit show. What dedication to promoting ARBA...

While we were heading to Reading, we started looking at many properties on the way and found some very good deals from FSBO, a farm auction, and several abandon properties. We saw several foreclosures and what was perceived as real deals. So you guys working the foreclosure market below I94 between Ann Arbor & Jackson, you have some go pickings.

After returning home, we placed the new Lilac rabbits into the mix and everyone took turns to say animal hello to the new tenants. Later this evening, they seem to be settled down and getting use to the other animals. They even liked the food.

We are now looking for a Foreclosed farm or residential foreclosures with a minimum of 10 acres. We have several clients that are looking as well as we are wanting to expand our farm. Bob got excited about the Giant Flemish Rabbits who weigh in at 20 lbs. So, we might need a big farm with lot of out buildings ... You know when he get excited nothing stands in his way.

So, tonight I did an MLS search and found several opportunities ... One example is a home that is over 1500 square feet, 1.5 bathrooms with less than 10 acres for under 170k. So, we have a list for our clients to tour and from those we believe we will have several sales.

Farming & Real Estate are working hand and hand.

Enjoy, Bonnie.
