Horse foraging needs on Florida property.

Published by admin under Real Estate Tips

Concerned about your Horses getting enough nutrition foraging on their Orlando area Horse property? Don’t be. Horses consume about 1 to 2 percent of their body weight per day. Thus an average 1,000 pound horse will requires a minimum of 10 to 20 pounds of dry forage per day. Florida pastures  provide a major part of the nutritional needs of horses almost year round. Provided the forage is to the proper quality. This makes Florida a great place for Horse properties.

Cattle have a stomach that acts as a large vat that degrades poor quality, high fiber, and cellulosic materials by microorganisms. Horses on the other hand, have a simpler less robust stomach. They have adapted a large colon where the fermentation process occurs. Therefore, they are hindgut digesters, thereby requiring higher quality less fibrous forages.

What Is Appraised Value?

Published by admin under Real Estate Tips

It’s an objective opinion of value, but it’s not an exact science so appraisals may differ.

For buying and selling purposes, appraisals are usually based on market value-what the property could probably be sold for. Other types of value include insurance value, replacement value, and assessed value for property tax purposes.

Appraised value is not a constant number. Changes in market conditions can dramatically alter appraised value.

Appraised value doesn’t consider special considerations, like the need to sell rapidly.

Lenders usually use either the appraised value or the sale price, whichever is less, to determine the amount of the mortgage they will offer.
