A lot of those trade skills are applicable later as a real estate investor so you may consider looking into plumbing, electrician, welding, etc.

He wants to purchase welding equipment.

Cutting a hole that big in a foundation is beyond my comfort level even if it's properly engineered.On another note, are you looking at homes in Weld County?

However one cost most people cannot avoid is the engineering costs of creating open spaces as most shipping containers are not more than 8 feet wide in the interior, then when they are joined to create a residential living space the units much be welded together. 

This includes defining a work scope, Bidding to multiple contractors, scheduling work over a course of 1-2 months with multiple contractors doing different work, inspecting work done, adjusting to unforeseen discovery work.Most of the work that goes on in these boilers is welding, electrical, and mechanical (refractory work, cosmetic work, work on machinery).

When I first put it back on, I noticed that at some point someone had put some JB Weld on it or something similar with the intent of holding it in place.

Hi Taylor,Put on a pair of denim pants, and a sweatshirt and go knock on the door.Explain you're "thinking of" buying the house next door but want to rent it out to "a nice family" but are worried about people thinking the "Valuable Items" out front of his place might scare off the "better families".Tell him you know it would be a lot of work to move all of this "Valuable Stuff" (what's junk to you might be welding steel to him or something else, who knows), and would he be willing to let YOU hire a crew of guys to come over an move it to the backyard or haul some of it off.If he says OK, Craig's list for the workers and (finish it during the due diligence), if you let him do it, it will probably not be satisfactory.If he says no or he's a "Scary Unpleasant type" move on, b/c any tenant you get will probably want to do the same.Just my 2 cents.Good Luck!

It's not really your fault with edge case jobs like that.Do you know how much it would be to weld a fence?

I would also like to have my welding service business ( llc with s-Corp status ) (which is not established yet) owned by the holding company So I have 3 questions 1) can I remove the properties from my current llc and put them into a land trust?

My son is in school for welding and welds in our garage.
