After talking to our tax accountant he told us we should be charging more than just $200/ month in rent, so we bumped it $650/month and now it pays for all of our electricity and mortgage on itself and our house.After being shut down on the HELOC I was a little discouraged but after a couple months I couldn't sit around feeling defeated any longer.

I'm willing to work with someone, but I have already owned two businesses and had to shut down two of them because of partners.

OR shut off water at meter --and drain all lines-

Water shut-off for non-payment can be a problem if each water meter does not have its own shut-off at the street.

I had to buy bricks, mortar, my guy did it, the company came back, another check to get it incpected. then give the receipt to the city. pain in the ***.i was so fed up, thought about bricking it shut briefly. too bad it was already rented a day/two prior.take the crap out and put electric. so much better.

Everything was shut off and winterized.

To add insult to injury, I later learned they had GLUED all the windows shut!!  

It was a total ghost town, and businesses shut down left and right.And if you hate it, why are you still there?  

I've stored roller naps for over six months this way (work out any air, wrap a few more times and tape shut the ends) And they were still usable many months later. :)Good luck and have fun!

Code came in and shut him down due to there not be a 2nd way of escape (within their rules).
