I can't pass up a good deal.
So I bought a little house, I know it is a thing lately, but I do like the idea of a small portable living space. All of the RV type of things I have ever owned just didn't really fit my desires
We had some people buy the land next door with the intention of "homesteading" but they had no idea what they were getting into. They got ripped off by the company that cleared the land they had no idea that there was a two year backlog in new house construction.
They bought a trailer to live in and bought a little house bare shed 15 X 30, and had it delivered. Then they finished it out. Divided the interior into a bedroom, bathroom living room and kitchen. Ran all the electrical wiring and plumbing, Sheetrocked the interior, and put some cheap plywood down for flooring. they put in a refrigerator and stove, tub sinks shower. put in a countertop in the kitchen. Painted everything.
Then their plans fell apart and they are going to move, so they offered up the little house for sale. They had invested over $40,000 in it, I offered them $37,500 for it and they accepted my offer.
Lets just say that getting it moved turned out to be more of an adventure than I counted on. After much sweat and cursing and frustration and a bunch more money, it now sits on my property. Not where I wanted it. but it is here.. It still needs a bunch of work, so we have been working on getting it hooked up to water and electricity.
There is no moisture barrier for the floor. so we have to pull up the flooring and add that and then put in some good flooring. They did a terrible job of doing the countertop, so that all needs to be taken out and done over, but none of those things is expensive, just time consuming.
I think that when all is said and done we will have about $45,000 into it all done. I have checked areund anf similar units, fully furnished run 60 t0 70 grand.
Should turn a nice profit.
