I think kids are the reason my mother preferred to rent to gays

@Joe Villeneuve

Do you have some way to set up LLCs on the cheap?

I really could use a couple. I'm cheap, and end up screwing myself by waiting until the last minute to form them

 I vote # 3

No.

It was part of a steel mill 1870 - Mid 1980's. Then an auto repair shop, and a salvage yard until 2011. It had a dirt floor during all those years.

I know these kinds of sites. For all I know Jimmy Hoffa might be under there.

It's a Schrodinger's Cat kinda thing. I could believe that the cat is alive forever, unless I open the box

@Lee I.

Owner wants to just wash his hands of it, he put a ton of money into it and hasn't made one cent. 

Really most of what they want is no big deal. I'm a bit hesitant to open up the new concrete floor. It was an industrial building since it was new in 1870. I might find something that I don't want to find.

As far as to why the R-3, I don't know. There is a scrap metal dealer on the same block who is also zoned R-3

@Rick Bevilacqua

It's a great 12,000 sq foot industrial building, sitting on low value real estate. Basically an economically depressed area where the "nice houses" are selling for 40,000 retail.

There are much better buildings in town that are cheap cheap cheap that would make better residential multi units. And those are beautiful brick office buildings with plenty of parking. Think 13,500 SF with an elevator, 4 story for an asking price of 200 K. 

Residential there is risky, The market is low right now, but if they electrify the rail, and start running commuter service into Philly, it's going to go sky high.

 Damn, I was hoping this was going to go into I2R Heating, Power Factor, and Distorted Sine Waves.

House wiring so mind deadening 

Job? LMAO

I'm way to uncontrollable to ever hold a job.

The only difference between being Unemployed and Self-Employed is how good you are at it.

Well I had a meeting with the city planning commission on Thursday (4-9-15). 

Zoning Variance is going to cost me $1,100 and that is more or less a given provided I comply with the following requirements.

1: Handicapped Bathrooms.

2: Letter from the sprinkler system's installer stating it is designed for a truck and heavy equipment repair facility.

3: Sprinkler system monitoring service. 

4: Floor drain with grease/oil-water separation capabilities. (There are currently no floor drains in the building)

5: Exhaust extraction system for motor vehicle exhaust

And look what I find 100 feet back in the woods at the rear corner of the property

They even installed an expensive storm water pumping station powered by Two John Deere 4045T engines, and let this mess stay in the creek.

It would be comical, but 200 men in a small town lost their jobs when this plant closed.
