Are houses even on ranches? Haha, i’m confused, and since i don’t live on a ranch i’m not sure. Any help would be good. Ty (:

Oh, and this is for something i’m writing, hence the section i picked.
Or a farmhouse to be on a ranch?

Houses are houses. It is entirely possible (though it virtually never happens) for houses of identical architecture to be on: a farm (in which case it could be called a farmhouse), a ranch (ranch house) or a street in a suburb of Washington DC (in which case it would be called just a house). It’s what people LIVE in and doesn’t need to be different just because they live on a ranch. Since farm and ranch families often involve large and/or "extended" families, the houses on those places are often larger than the typical one in suburbia. but otherwise they are no different.

Wise old advice – write about what you KNOW and not about things you are unfamiliar with, or else do a whole lot of research.

OK so i was just wondering how much a decent ranch house in the country would cost to build. Give me an estimate please, thanks!

The ONLY person who can answer your question is a reputable builder in your area. A real estate agent can tell you what the very generally per sq. foot is in your area. Way to many unknowns for us to help you.

My area is over 200 per square foot, others are cheaper, others far more expensive.

I’d love to look ‘em up online and see what’s for sale, just for fun!
Wow! Both of you were so helpful. Thanks!

Have a look at rightmove.co.uk, the estate agents list all properties on there, all over the uk, all kinds of houses some of them mega bucks.

for school i need to find the average sq ft of houses in different countries, is there a website that has this?

Try the CIA Factbook – it usually helps.
If you can’t find what you need there, try Geohive, NationMaster or Infoplease.

Can a person deduct repair/improvement costs on a house they own in another country?
Would it make a difference if it was a rental property?

Thanks

No, you cannot deduct money that you have spent in another country. It has to be for a house in the United States of America. In addition, you can’t deduct money that you spend on your own residence, just money you spent on owned rental property.

What do you think is a better option?

Should I buy a cheap house in the country and rent it out (then pay rent myself somewhere else) or buy a small unit in the city to live in? A single income limits the size of my city investment.

What are the pro’s and con’s of doing this?

I am not sure what I will be doing in five years from now so it’s hard to plan my investment future. Would a better option be to invest in the share market?

I have met similiar problem before, here list of sites http://infobusiness1.notlong.com/1AAPPzm

we are moving cross country and i don’t know what the easiest/cheapest way would be to ship our household items. Like a crate via roadway, or what other options are there?

Rent a truck and drive it yourself, hire a moving company.
