Buying a farm is a guarantee of security but the financial aspect can be a sizeable obstacle.
 
This requires a great deal of capital at the time of installation, and may incur for you relatively high reimbursement costs. 

In reality, farms available on the French market are mostly available both for sale and for rent.
 
In addition to purchase of property the leasing of land (or rental) close to a farm can back up the latter, without entailing any excessive financial burden.
 
Sellers are also aware that it is difficult to find a buyer, valorising the farm well, if the whole property is for sale.

They therefore also look for a mixed sale and rental solution (valorising in parallel the sale of the farm’s capital).
