Going To Look At A New Mobile Home Property, We May Buy To Develop! Start Of A New Series...

Okay, y'all. I just got a call says there's a piece of property down here for sale and it's about um well, you see what's going on here. It's about uh 100 mile I mean 100 yards from another trailer I've got. So, I'm going down here to look at it and see if it's worth having. Um, you would think I would know what it looks like, but this particular place that I bought, I never uh I never necessarily went and looked at it. I already had renters in it. I hadn't had to do any work over there. So, it's just been a basically go pick up the rent type situation. So, I haven't been there a lot to pay attention to what the surroundings. So, I'm driving down here. I'm going to check it out and uh see make sure it ain't no big gully or some big ugly spot or you know something that can't be fixed. But we're going to see if we can get a couple mobile homes in there side by side maybe or a single mobile home or what uh what can go on this piece of property. See what this piece of property is worth um or what my opinion of this piece of property is worth. I know, you know, I know what it was worth three years ago, four years ago, five years ago, but uh everything has went stupid here. So, it's probably worth what she's asking as long as it's a flat piece of property. There is county water here in this spot and uh you'd have to put a septic tank if there's not already a septic tank. Ronnie's looking at it on the uh on Google Maps and on uh a couple other sites that you can look up stuff like that on. He's looking at it over there and he's saying there's trees on it, but he's looking at aerial pictures. So, he can't tell how big the trees are and you can't tell if there's any gullies or low spots or hell, for all we know, it could uh flood out every every time it gets rain. So, we're going to ride down here and look, make sure make sure it's not sitting in low land. Make sure we think it'll perk. If it won't perk, it ain't worth nothing. So, we're going down here to see. Um, a lot of times, you know, I've seen other people on if it won't perk, they put in some uh systems that basically sit on top of the ground. perk means that your uh septic will not percolate down through the water. I mean down the the liquid on your septic tank will not percolate down in the ground. That's what a perk test is. So if you're if you're in a a real low spot where it's holding water all the time, it makes the water table closer to the surface. That means nothing else will go through the surface. That's, you know, that's why you see big mud holes and water holes and stays for a long time like on the edges of the uh like swampy land. That's what swamps are. It's lowlying land where water can't drain out. So, I got to make sure that that's not it. I do not believe it is because like I say, I got a I got a spot within 100 yards of it, 150 yards of it. So, I think we'll be all right with that. But it's stupid to buy stuff without looking at it. So, we're going to go look and make sure it's what we think it is and make sure it's not some kind of, you know, it's an acre lot or a little over an acre lot. But what if it's only 20 foot wide and 500t long? You can't do nothing with it. So, it's got to be uh uh acre is 45560, I believe, is what an acre is or 44560. So, they say it's an acre. If it comes up to uh 45,000 ft or 44 560, you know, the actual number, if it comes up to that, then it's an acre regardless if it's a foot wide and 4,000 ft long or if it's, you know, 50 foot wide and 1,000 foot long. So, the uh you got to be careful and make sure you know what you're buying. And uh we used to go to the tax sales and buy some stuff and we bought or I bought a piece of property and it was the uh the center of a road and uh I was happy when the uh the county paid me back. I just blindly bought it, but the county paid me back on it because they couldn't sell the center of the road or they widened the road and it was a median. It was something stupid. But anyway, whoever it was paid the taxes on it and uh I didn't have to buy it. So, made me made me feel a lot better. But, ever since then, I decided I better look at every little thing, cross my eyes, and dot my tees before I jump out on the limb and just buy something here. So, we're going to go down here and look. It's a pretty good deal, I think, anyway, so far. Um, but like I said, I got to see the piece of property. Once I see the piece of property, I will let y'all know more. I'll take y'all along with me and y'all can look at the piece of property with us. And uh we're sitting at zero on the freeway. So, h this might be for a long day. If I get to this next uh I'll have to go around through the woods. I'm going to turn I'm going to get over in this slow lane and we're going to get to this next exit. When I get to it, I'll go that way and then that way and then that way and that way and I'll end up over there. But it's going to take me a few minutes. So, and you seen when I started this video, I hadn't even won a half a mile in six minutes. So, we'll see what we can do here. Okay, y'all. This is the corner lot. We go all the way down there and it comes all the way to that property pin right there. the property pin right there. It's all this here. It's about this wide, too. It's going to go over um Yeah, it's going to take all that. It's going to go over to that power pole, which is on the other side of that mobile home about to where that red torch is over there. So, all this here. Then you've got um walk around this way here where you can see a little something. Got to be careful rattlesnakes cuz this is rattlesnake country. [Applause] Here we go. What we're looking at pretty u pretty healthy pretty healthy acre lot here. So, it's been surveyed off. Everything's been done here. So, uh, I'm gonna put an offer in on it and we'll see what goes on. But, uh, this the lot here. The other house I own is right over there. So, pretty nice lot here considering all these trees, well, not all of them, but a lot of these trees would have to come down. But should be good. We'll uh we'll play with it and see what we can do here. But if you ain't out here pounding the ground looking at everything, you uh can't make stuff happen. So, basically, let me get in the truck and we'll turn around and go back down the road here and uh I'll show you. That's nice. That feels amazing. [Music] H sounds like something stuck in that car or that tire. It's all this property here on our right. All this property in front of us. It's all this here. There's a stick or something stuck in the back of this truck. I'm going to get out and see what it is. It's that and it looks like there was a screw or something right there in it. That ain't good. Okay, so this is the property here. Let me see if I can get this tire. Hey, y'all. That was close to hole. I poured some water on it and it shot out. I don't have a plug with me. Um, so I'm going to have to uh compromise here and get a screw in there. I get the screw down in there somehow and run it back to the shop. If I can get to a uh till I can get to if I get somewhere where I can get a plug. I don't have my plug kit with me. Uh, that screw might be better if I got a screwdriver somewhere. [Music] Um, pair of pliers. Got a pair of pliers. Let's see what we can do here. Tighten this screw up. When you're in Rome, do as the Rome do. [Music] There we go. Got it in there. [Music] Still looking at this piece of property though. Piece of property seems to be a good one. So, I'm going to get this tire handled and uh then we'll uh we'll make a phone call on that, too. [Music] It made it. Did y'all really think that I was going to be stranded? I made it. You just got to think on your feet, people. Think on your feet. Think quickly. The uh I do have a spare under there. And I did have my impact with me. [Music] I didn't have my impact with me. I knew I had a I knew I had a uh tire plugging kit over here at the building. So, I had to get to the building. I was only about maybe 6 milesi from the building. So, I had to get here and get my tire kit. I plugged it. I got to Milwaukee pumping it back up. Set this right here for safekeeping. Yeah. the uh I got the Milwaukee pumping it back up. We'll get it pumped up. We'll be ready to go again. Put another 100 miles on her. I don't know where I picked that up. I must have picked it up over there. How fast? Yes, I got a big air compressor in there. No, I ain't even going to turn it on. That thing will pump it up no problem. They say don't run it more than 30 minutes at a time. But we need to call and uh put our offer in. It's It's getting close to 5:00. So, let me get that done and uh we'll get back with you. Okay, y'all. Look at you there. Tell you how many miles a day I put on the truck. Um, so we called, we made an offer, she accepted the offer, so we got us a new piece of land. So, I've got to take her to my earnest money. We're going to do that here in a couple days. She's writing up contract. We'll uh we'll get it locked down here in a couple days and uh then we'll be on to something else. See what else we can get into. But, uh, we obviously we got the tire fixed and we're driving again. So, that makes for a good, uh, a good day's worth of screw up. And of course, that is after my uh, root canal this morning. And my uh, my crown I had put on. I had a root canal the other week. Had a crown put on this morning. and I went and worked eight hours at shop and then I went up here and handled this and uh now I'm headed to the house. I should get home before about 7:00 7:30 something like that. So that's how you do it y'all. If you like what you see, give us a thumbs up, film it, subscribe to the channel if you hadn't already and uh we'll catch you on the next one.
