I appreciate all of the advice given on here so far. I grew up in the city and really don't know anything about owning land other than knowing I wanted to have my own property. But then again there has been a lot of stuff in life that I knew nothing about and they eventually became major parts of my life.
I'll be eligible to retire from police work in one more year, I'll be 42. That doesn't mean I'll actually retire but I'm looking at options if I wanted to go into another line of work. My father in law owns an excavation company out of Dodge City, KS. I'm starting to take time off my primary job and spend my vacation and comp time working for him learning to run heavy equipment and apprenticing under him while he's still walking this Earth. As long as I've been with my wife I've never seen his business slow down, so there must be something to moving dirt. Thats part of the reason I'm looking at purchasing my own equipment instead of hiring someone else to do it. I figure worst case scenario I can do the work and sell the equipment and get most of my money back. Best case scenario, I might learn a new skill that can make me some money and I can retire from cop work a bit sooner.
