Some road noise from secondary road

Here's the ad I have on Kijiji at the moment. We're looking for a family to share it with or an investor who will give us a mortgage/rent to own for 2 years. Let me know what you think...should I word it differently?

************************************************************

My husband and I have found a beautiful piece of land in the Middleton area of the Annapolis Valley. Partly cleared and with a brook running through it, it's what we've been looking for to start a small organic family farm and the land lends itself to other business plans too. A large field, hardwood trees, nearly 100 acres and it's quiet while only being a few minutes from both the Bay of Fundy and town. Negotiated it to half it's originally listed price so it's a terrific deal.

Is there anyone out there who would be interested in purchasing this with us? Or giving us a private mortgage?

We are a working couple with 4 children, no debt but also no credit because one of us is self-employed and we just moved to NS in 2011. Who knew that always paying cash was a bad thing? We have sufficient income...just not sufficient credit to be buying land by ourselves this year. We would like someone to carry a mortgage for us for 2 years at which time we would go and get a regular mortgage from the bank. We will pay up to 10% interest. Or, for less than $40,000 you could purchase the land and then sell us back half for $25,000 Where else can you buy 50 acres for $15k? And you'd have such wonderful neighbours!

We'd also be interested in developing this with another family.

The land has gently sloped fields at roadside, slopes down to a brook at the bottom and has a steep wooded hillside at the rear. Not flat.

Please contact us for more details. We'd like to move on this ASAP.
