Would like to grab some ideas on what I should do to get a great ROI on this. Im really open to anything...

If I could make $1000/mo from this somehow, that would be great.

I have came up with a couple ideas...such as enclosing it and making it a living area...which is obviously the most obvious. Also, doing storage for people after partitioning it on the inside.

Thanks in advance for your ideas.

admins might as well delete this thread now.

any movement on this?

start at 16yo building your net worth. get as much money as you can as quickly as you can. get a job ASAP. get a credit card ASAP. buy a house ASAP. buy a house every year, and rent your old house out. when you get 10 houses, you can retire.

dont help people until you can help yourself. your responsibility is to the family you create and to yourself. anyone else you help is out of the kindness of your heart. people will use you. its your responsibility to not allow them to use you. stay away from people that reject your help, but seek to use you. giving people money is NOT help. give people help, not money. youll give them all your money and all your money will be gone and they will still be in the same position. dont help people that dont help themselves but understand some people are in genuine situations b/c and they are so down and out that they wont help themselves...and you might need to push or inspire them. depression is just sadness. live your life a certain way to avoid it.

whew!

be a man. being a man is about stand on principles...certain principles. honesty, mercy, love, decency, etc. these are what really make you a man. dont bend dont fold. dont let anyone tell you different. people will hate you for being this way, but thats ok. they only hate it b/c they cant break you. oh yeah, be unbreakable...especially thru all the hate. get close to God. not sure how? well, being completely honest even when nobody is looking is a good start. honesty will get you trust. where there is no trust, there is no honesty. trust is important so honesty is even more important. what if you couldnt trust that next stair you were about to step on to hold you up. what if it failed 5% of the time. youd never make it up those stairs i bet. this is why trust is important...but complete honesty...which is what gets you trust....is even more important.

wheww! ok, im tired.

Would you say this is something that could be fixed? I have no idea..

Well, if you like to choose your tenants, you wouldnt advertise. Yeah, Im wondering if its violating the law if you dont advertise and you choose your tenants.

Facebook, Roomie sites, Craigslist, etc.

Well, to give more detail, if you advertise, there is no telling who you might get. You might get someone who will literally tear up your whole place....bust holes in the walls...tear the door off the stove...knock the fridge over...LOL...or anything. And of course you cant discriminate if they come to you, AND I WOULDNT discriminate. But....if you see someone who gives you the impression that they might be a great tenant, and you see them looking for a place, you might want to reach out. Now, say another person is always on facebook arguing and fighting with people over dumb stuff, acting crazy, lying on people and doing all sorts of things not becoming of someone decent..........you might see that they are looking and not reach out to them.

For example...a landlord cant discriminate, but is there some legal issue with NOT advertising, but then going and choosing your tenants? For example...there are lots of people looking for places to stay, so if you went and offered certain people the option to come by and see your place, but you didnt do this to everyone, would this be a problem?

I got this under contract, and we should close after the new year. I got some quotes on waterproofing from the outside. They both came in around $20K. I would require lots of digging since the house is very long. It would also require busting up a concrete porch.

I really hope this would fix the issue. There is 1 wall that is under the house, and its almost impossible to get thru without digging UNDER the house, so we wouldnt waterproof that one. We would just put up some barrier from the inside. That wall isnt very long. Its about...eh...say 10 feet. The seller seems to have painted over a few of these walls, which is a bit annoying, but yeah....thats the plan for this.

Im going to ask the seller to meet me halfway on all my issues.

 Can you say more? Why do you say its critical for those things?

has anything changed with your situation? im thinking of buying a house that uses gas.

sidenote: im the type of guy who can live in a cold house. i just need a lil hat and some a warm joggers. ill even go as far as wearing long johns. f that heat. a better alternative is to buy yourself a crypto miner. them things make so much heat. theyre just loud. too loud.
