Is the real estate suggesting that Mike needs to work out?

If it was a shoe factory it’s probably pretty toxic.

Check out the electrical supply and wiring. Might be DC. Back then there were still some city areas with DC.

This guy sold bridges, before real estate.

They’re the sole interest.

. The real estate agent uttered the scariest hyphenated words known to the potential buyer ( or renter ) ….fixer-upper ! Run, Mike…run !

I want to build an underground home here, but no one will underwrite the VA “guaranteed” loan (guarantee of infinite frustrations) so I can have a house that fits my needs and will required virtually no maintenance. In the meantime I watch assets build while hoping to find a bank with a clue.

LWP – Welcome back. We are all used to seeing your comment at the top.

One of the coolest places on Earth, the City Museum in St. Louis, is a former shoe factory. All Mike needs to do is install a ten-story spiral slide and it’s fun all the time.

That ‘fixer-upper’ is now selling for double-digit millions to Silicon Alley CEOs.

Renters have to fix-up? I could understand clean-up, but unless they plan to stay for decades, I wouldn’t pay to fix-up.

Sounds too good to be true. I’d take it!

Have you seen the Empty Soda Bottle houses?Collect up a Bunch of empty two liter soda bottles, fill them with Sand, pot the caps back on and use them as Bricks..You can see some Photos here:http://www.inspirationgreen.com/plastic-bottle-homes

Yep, sho’ ’nuf.

Something like the first house, only when its finished we plan to bury it to get a “hobbit house” effect. Also having a bullet proof house in Northeast Texas should be useful. Doubt we’d use any real mushroom shapes as I want it one level.
