You need to have a real building inspection. Wizard was incorrect when he said it was a 200 amp service. It's a 100 amp service...you don't add the two 100 amp fuses together to determine the service size. Also, the electrical panel in the addition is a Federal Pacific Stab Loc panel known for failure and the company was forced to stop selling them in the U.S. by the CPSC. Your water piping is galvanized steel and well beyond it's life span and known to be problematic. The excessive cracking of the stucco is only "normal" on buildings that haven't been maintained properly. It needs to be repaired or replaced and will cost well over $5,000. Someone needs to actually go into the crawlspace and onto the roof to inspect it.

[@ironymatt]

Your channel now has both of my favorite things in the world! Cars and Buildings! Meanwhile, if you plan on using it for your cars (which is not a good idea considering the nice location) you should consider redoing the floor first or even if renting it out to a car dealership. It is a good purchase! Great for renting out to someone or maybe even dividing the large hall into two separate spaces with separate facades.

[@zdr5191]

Tyler, I’m and electrical engineer. That electrical service needs some serious attention. Being in the bathroom next to the sink is a National Electrical Code violation. You should convert to a breaker style panel board and move to the other side of the same wall outside of the bathroom. Eliminate all of the unused feeders to equipment that is no longer there, i.e., 20’ long meat cooler. Have a qualified electrician look this over as it needs domes work. Also, that tiny little access gap under your floor to those utilities is pointless. As the Wizard said you will have to remove sections of the floor to get to anything if necessary. Any electrical under there is a code violation as well as you don’t have direct access to it. I suggest move as much out from Uber the floor, backfill with gravel and pour concrete. Leave an accessible trench for any plumbing. The building has potential but needs some TLC.

I strongly recommend you having a registered professional structural engineer who is licensed in your state by the state board of professional engineers take a look at your shop floor to verify it’s integrity. If it needs something they can make recommendations to ensure you don’t loose your Lambo or get yourself or anyone else hurt in the process. A local municipal building inspector won’t do.

Reality check. He's looking at at least $60-70k to get that building up to code and rent-able standards. There's no way that foundation, sub-flooring, electric, and plumbing passes inspection. Plus possible lead and asbestos abatement. Add an extra $30-40k at least.

If you can keep the electrical as is, then changing out the flooring (checking for weak spots as you go), it'll be tough to get that done for under $10k. Outside repaint and patch would probably be the biggest bang for your buck.

No need to change the floor. Fix the sagging areas, but I've seen a lot of comments calling for a concrete floor & that is totally unnecessary. Wooden floors can hold a lot more loadwise than most people know, apparently.

[@leonardodavinci303]

For insurance purposes, you MUST redo the electrical service. Anyone gets hurt going to the bathroom with that crazy electrical grid and you will lose everything. Second, that building has had significant water damage to the floor. Looks like someone 'repaired' it by just putting 3/4 inch plywood over the whole thing. I would tear up a section where the floor is bowed (or small access panels) in several places OR fiber optic inspection) and figure out exactly what its like. My guess is it will take $20k to actually get it up to code.

[@dr.z1657]

More like $60-70k to get that building up to code and rent-able standards. Add an extra $30-40k for the near certain lead and asbestos abatement that will need to be done from the VCT, paint, and insulation.

[@peternt2008]

I think you should use your building for a fast-food style restaurant. Use your previous restaurant experience to do it. You can use the building and the fixing of it and opening a restaurant as more content for your channel, or use it for another channel completely. You use the theme of your car channel for the restaurant. Your restaurant would be famous and a mecca for Hooptie fans and car people. All you would need to do is get it up and running and then hand over the running of it to a manager. It is something you could get the whole family into, the wife the kids, could all help out in the restaurant. "Hooptie Burgers" or "Hooptie Hutt" or "Tylers "

Also, this year-to-date alone, I have sold over $10 million in real estate. I think that qualifies as some knowledge in real estate no?

@@sleektruck22 then you should know about the problems of buildings. If you get them cheap nowadays, there is always a reason.

Have a survey done. Brian and Della should have told you that you own a roughly 10' wide strip from 1st St south to the alley between 1st and 2nd st. So basically from where your storefront parking begins to the edge of the building, that strip all the way to the alley...as well as the crap in it.

[@questioner1596]

I highly recommend home inspections be a condition of your real estate offer. It costs you $800 and you can potentially knock thousands off the asking price or walk away if the inspection reveals undisclosed issues. Absolute worst case is the inspection finds nothing wrong and you've only wasted 1% of your transaction price for some peace of mind.
