A steal of a deal!

That's an absolutely barmy price, Jeff! How much do family dwellings cost in your town (I'm thinking of selling this place and moving there after seeing this!):o

I paid $19,000 for my home 15 years ago.
We paid this house off last January and I can borrow around $16,000 on it.
Given I can buy the Bank and rent this place out for $350+ a month?
:o

Oh. I forgot. I'm an Ordained Minister so maybe I can use that to cut the selling price?
:har:

I don't know which is harder to believe: the price you paid for your home, or that you are an ordained minister...:-?

:D
Ain't that a bitch My Son?
:har:
If all goes well? I'll own a Bank!
Then I'll be a Minister that owns a Bank.
:)

If you were to set the bank up as a church, the goobermint (IRS) would give you a break on taxes, wouldn't it?

If he keeps it as a bank, he can get a bail out. Much larger than a tax break. LOL

I want a concrete dome.

I would prefer to earth berm it - as that not only adds additional protection from crazy nature stuff (except an earthquake). Besides, how cool would it be to say "ok, I am headed out to mow the house." Easily hidden if you wanted, just a thick mess of trees out "front" and no one would see you.

Add in that made right, your looking at a system that naturally convects and stabilizes air temps at right around 70 degrees F.

In an ideal world I would just buy up one of the old surplus missile bases the gub'ment or private sellers have. But I don't see that happening.

"Uh-Oh!"
 

I can see Nancy being overjoyed at the thought of keeping all those windows clean :D

Give her my love and best wishes mate :sunny:

The tour of the Bank was very interesting!
For as old as the place is? It is in surprisingly good shape!
A few small leaks in the roof but not what I expected I'd see.
Basement was dry and showed no signs of flooding. I get worse in this house!
The Vault is a 2 story 12" thick reinforced concrete Zombie Bunker!!
:o
We did find what may be a sealed off room in the basement also.
I figure the Concrete Vault/End of World Bunker was an upgrade sometime after the 1878-79 construction of the building.
The sealed off room is behind it and there's a brick arched door that leads right into the side of the Vault/Bunker. Not into the thing just smack up against the side of it!
:haha:
We found that going down the side tunnels.
Yep! It has tunnels!!! I even went out under the sidewalk in front of the building.
:yep:

I was kind of given an offer of $8800 by the Realtor. I think he was getting cold as it was down around 20F here today.
I was dressed to explore in the cold myself and crawled or climbed everywhere!

A Ghostbusters fan should buy that and add carriage doors instead of glass block. :D

Keep him outside in the cold long enough and maybe he will pay you to take it off his hands. 96 to 88 in an hour? Freeze his butt off and get a free building, too.:D

Talking to a friend about going 50/50 on the building.
He want's to open a Bar and I want the Zombie/End of Freaking World Bunker part in the basement. Along with the tunnels and hidden room.
:hmmm:

Oh. I have permission and full access to the building now also! Guess the Realtor don't want to get cold no more!
LOL!

(1) What does the 'better half' say about living in a basement?:sunny:

(2) A ordained minister with a bar?:sunny:

(3) More power to you and congrats!:up:
