Finally got official proof from the Water and Sewerage Department that the waterline to my $4,000 house, that was listed as having the waterline cut on the city auction website and has been vacant since 2005, has actually been cut. So now the city will move forward on the permit to replace the waterline that was initially filed on November 15th.

Love that just the deposit for this cost more than the house.

Also love that the city says they will replace all the lead lines on this block for free within 2-5 years.

It's a 1.5m house in rural Georgia, the buyer would have you killed and buried in a ditch and the cops would help him

If you kill enough people as a landowner in the rural South, some Faulkner type will write some novels about how troubled you were about it.

elijay is very very different from most of rural Georgia.

it’s a small mountain town. which is not what most people mean by “rural south “. rural south would be like swainsboro.

Yeah, Appalachia is its own thing. That land is a lot more valuable too and will probably change significantly in the coming years as metro Atlanta continues to encroach on it.

I always called Asheville gatlinburg with money.

I think there are come crypto rural living groups scattered out in East TN. my crypto cousin and his grifter GF moved out that way to be with others . read separately of maybe other people out that direction.like east of Maryville (Muraville for locals) rural.

quote:

Three Roommates or Four Jobs Needed to Afford a Two-Bedroom Rental on Minimum Wage

Rent affordability is better in cities with higher minimum wages, even in expensive markets.

Nationally, it takes nearly four full-time minimum wage workers to reasonably afford a two-bedroom rental.

Affordability for minimum wage workers is tightest in Austin. There would need to be over five full-time minimum wage workers to afford a two-bedroom rental in Austin.

In cities with a $7.25 an hour minimum wage, an average of over 3.5 full-time workers are needed to make the typical two-bedroom rental affordable.In cities with minimum wages set higher than that, an average of 2.5 full-time minimum wage workers are needed to make the typical two-bedroom rental affordable, despite many of these cities having higher-than-average rents.

There's a little calculator if you want to see how much your city sucks!

that'll be a solid flip. 1.2m in sf is a steal, especially for that area. easy flip for $2.2m or beyond

The house across the street from me had hoarders- young couple bought it for like ~150k more than what I payed for my house the street that is 2x the sqft and bedrooms.

they then proceeded to gut it to the studs and remodel it. Easily another 150-200k.

They’re way north of Half a million in the hole for the only one story house in a sea of two stories, that is honestly not worth more than 250-275k in a reasonable world, and only like 325-350k in this bizarre world. I don’t know how you get credit to do this kind of dumb shittery but it’s been impressive.

don’t buy a hoarders house you’ll get hosed in the end. Unless I guess you live somewhere like San Francisco.

starting with trust-fund/inheritance, leveraging your existing house, then buying+flipping new ones, using that to leverage more houses for flips, etc. but good, death to flippers

don't need to remediate it in this case. just throw some new coats of flipper grey paint, some new flooring, some farm2table contemporary conformism aesthetic doodads, stainless appliances, spray some air freshener, and take the highest waive inspection/contingency all-cash offer.

but yeah teardown is probably better but the victorian aesthetic adds hundreds of thousands to sf house prices. people pay out the wazoo for it there

Nah these kids live in the place, she’s a stay at home mom and has had like 3 kids in 4 years. I think this is their first home. I don’t think they’re flipping anything. it will take a long time for them to get out what they put in.

they don’t strike me as the types to have inherited wealth either but who knows. they drive very regular utilitarian vehicles and I’ve never even seen the dude in a collared shirt, nor dirty and sweaty from a hard days work so I’ve got no idea what he does for a living.

maybe it’s like Brewster millions but the great uncle is like “You only get my millions if you manage to be upside down north of a million on a house that isn’t even worth half that.”
