thinking of a move? got a few bucks? stayed out of the property market during the maddness? whats the future hold for you and your children? whats ireland got to offer them? will you be drying your eyes at the airport when they have to emmigrate. i've already left two family members in dublin airport not a pleasant experience. so i'm thinking of pulling the plug, i'm a father of four and i want my kids about me not on the far side of the world.
property in america is dirt cheap i'm looking at oklahoma its greenish and not too cold, theres heaps of work in oklahoma city and tulsa. i've spent days brousing landsofamerica.com its addictive, i found a place 360acres and a house like southfork for 480000dollars thats not the price of a couple of average houses here.
whats america really like? is it hard to get in i'm told if you buy a business they'll let you in? dont know if i'm wise :-\

i think you're right there - i remember a programme on about the farmer from co fermanagh who bought a dairy farm in North or South Dakota - he got visas no problem.
$200k wouldn't buy that much surely ??
I think it is more in the region of $500k
I thought it was one million dollars
If your business goes bust they'll f**k you all out again and you'll have to keep it going til the day you die, no retirement, no health care, no nothing.
My only advice is to watch that Borat film before you decide on america.
Fine looking spot here going at a bargain :o
