WALKING TO THE NEW ADVENTURE...maybe!!!

Fort Davis Texas....house for sale...???? AMAZON LINK: amzn.to/4aAz1nA thank you!!!

[@Tyler77573]

That's what I call "no way, Jose"

[@calr4459]

With all those cars in the neighborhood, just wait until “party time”.

[@kennethbode2017]

even free is no bargain

[@rusty78609]

true

[@francisebbecke2727]

I agree, free is too much. A vacant lot to build on would be better.

[@jamesreeves4499]

Trash, debris, worn-out houses and old cars are all throughout this video. Why would you want to live on this street?

[@gregoryavery2018]

Run Rusty Run! Turn on your super Fickle and leave this disaster behind! Your place in Ft Springs is far far better! Saludos de Cali Colombia! 👍🌴🦜☕️

[@stanmarcusgtv]

yikes what a dump! level it btw, that's a swamp cooler up there

[@philcraig1395]

If I was you Rusty, I'd make a beeline towards that fence opening, run thru it and never look back all while thinking "Sayonara Stucco Shanty" Looks like a money pit for sure and from the looks of the neighborhood, well, less said the better.

[@shawnawiddoes-kb2xc]

I totally concur. I am dying laughing at your comment😂

[@suemartinez715]

Definitely not a wasted trip. You explored and gained more knowledge and that makes you wiser. After seeing this casa that was at one time was a families dream home, you realize what a peaceful and well desearved home you have. I feel you are really in appreciation of what you have. Sometimes, we just feel the need to see what is out there to look out.

[@RippSnortin]

You made the right choice by passing on this one. Looks like a hellscape.

[@bensonsspeedshop1191]

I have one bit of advice, Brother Rusty. RUN!!!!!!

[@rusty78609]

yep

[@jimmysainz4671]

It would be cheaper for to put something on your property in carrizozo. Judging by the cracks in the front step and the stucco you have a lot of hidden issues. Sounds like you're determined to getting the property. Good luck and open your bank account to repair this property

[@user-xv9hw9mn3v]

Sometimes it's fun just to window shop and not buy anything. Go to open houses around the country to scratch the real estate and travel itch.

[@jefftaylor3859]

I would have just driven by and not stopped LOL

[@Kaeteymae]

The house, the area, the roads or lack thereof, it really looks like a very run-down area. I'd be terrified to live there! It looks almost like a slum area.

[@ChrisDiamondTravele1957]

Give it 2 months Rusty will be back in an RV

[@jamesdavidsmith4033]

At least you checked it out.

[@michaelkeith2207]

I think being bored drives you to keep buying and selling. It's your hobby.

[@2luv2camp]

Yes, I have always said that boredom causes his fickleness. No matter what he buys, he gets bored with it and wants something new.

[@Wes1487]

I agree some people love the game of buying and selling.....I never will understand that. Hopefully he doesn't lose tons of money each time.

[@MisterDusk007]

Waddle away fast from that abandoned crackhouse Rusty…it was a nice trip either way

[@rusty78609]

Yes it was

[@paul6894]

Why would you take on such a difficult project? A lot of professional real estate people have already pass on this property. I understand looking is interesting. However, I think you should keep life easy and pass on this. I am a real estate broker and I enjoy your channel. Thanks

[@laurathompson5528]

Hi Rusty I was told that upside down horse shoes are BAD luck. I think this is it. You wont get rest or piece with this mess. Money pit. Take care

[@larryking4819]

Fort Clark springs that's a nice place

[@fredbloggs220]

Its a doer upper . 😁All you need is a can of petrol and a box of matches

[@rusty78609]

or a bulldozer

[@Oilfieldscout]

FD is a nice community. A lot of the resident go back generations. Some even when the fort was there. That place looks like a demo to the house and put in a repo manufactured home. Then all you have to do is put in the utilities. I bet the owner has too much in it to make anything just selling it as a lot. Whatever the lot price is the house adds $0 to it. Maybe $500 for the storage building. Don't know if you would be polishing a diamond or a turd. Well at least you got a nice trip out of it.

[@rusty78609]

I agree.

[@dennis78382]

I’m glad you decided to pass on that amigo. Of course, check-in don’t hurt nothing and you got a little adventure out of it and shared it with us. Thank you.

[@rusty78609]

true

[@lizabethjoy1883]

RUN!!!!

[@claridee0765]

Gated front door says a lot. Looks sketchy please be safe. Your place you currently own is perfect.❤❤❤

[@ja_Iam]

That’s a right proper project for a 20-40 yr old to buy and flip. Hopefully the right buyer will come along and be able to make a little profit off it.

[@onrycodger]

Well, that was a bust. I think the diamond in the ruff done left. Oh well, head em up an move em out!....Rawhide!🤠👍

[@harloh9578]

no bueno

[@lindamiller5489]

But you don't like to live around people, rember barking dogs, lound neighbors etc..just say Nooo

[@rusty78609]

nooooooo

[@EfficientRVer]

"Nice view of the mountain" says Rusty, totally ignoring all the junky stuff in the foreground of that view. I usually see some potential in Rusty's choices of properties, whether or not a particular one is my own cup of tea. This property is nobody's cup of tea. For that reason, the price might get so low to tempt you. Don't do it. You haven't had any disastrous properties yet, and this would likely be the one to change that.

[@texbaz2]

Rusty been watching your channel since the casita days. Matter of fact I have a Casita and your videos helped me. Here is my 2cents. Take the carrizozo property build a cheap barndominium. You have everything up thier location, location, location.

[@rusty78609]

That sounds like a great plan.

[@shawnawiddoes-kb2xc]

We got a casita too after rusty had one...zozo is gorgeous..keep it

[@ralphp3057]

Rusty helped me decide on buying my Casita 5 years ago ! Still love it !

[@OldePete]

You're Nuts!!

[@rusty78609]

and you are ???

[@xc7049]

Hey Rusty! I give you a lot of credit for walking around this neighborhood alone, I hope you were packing heat.

[@bobberguy1]

That's not a fixer upper. That's a tear downer. It would cost $20,000 to make it disappear.

[@rusty78609]

true

[@patfisher22]

Looks like a swamp cooler on top of house.

[@santaclause2875]

True. Mold machines, for sure.

[@vantastic_dreamer]

I wouldn’t do it! You won’t be able to sell it if you change your mind. It seems like there’s no privacy. If your neighbors decide to have get together’s you’re gonna have a lot of loud music playing all weekend. Just my 2 cents. Stay fickle, pickle.

[@harloh9578]

agreed

[@situated4]

Red flags everywhere.

[@rusty78609]

fickle wins

[@WPWood-mh9qy]

We are all looking forward to seeing the prius in a camping setup on your next trip

[@Joey-j8m]

If you even thought about buying that you are crazier than i thought you were,the house looks like a disaster and so does the neighborhood!

[@RicG.]

I've got natural gas too! But not in the house........LOL.

[@kdiamond3623]

Keep on walkin, but walk fast.

[@ScottyThompson-lt7wl]

Cool video talk rusty lol 😆 😄 🤣 😂

[@rusty78609]

I am glad you enjoyed it.

[@ScottyThompson-lt7wl]

@rusty78609 yeah oh ok

[@tobymeade3222]

Hello 👋 Rusty ! This Handyman special,try get for cheap& give it a Facelift,paint & resell! 🤞👌🙌🙏👍🤩🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🌞

[@antoniosalieri573]

Zillow has it for $65,500 😂

[@markschmitz4959]

What did you ever see in this place?

[@rusty78609]

cheap

[@WaggingTails-f3i]

I think you’d have to get a contractor out there and figure out the cost of remodeling it in addition to the cost of labor for everything bc you certainly don’t want to do any yourself, plus it always takes 2/3x longer than expected. What is it about this town do you like so much more than where you live now? Why would you want this headache (now that I’m thinking about it)? You want to be able to travel, find yourself a good woman, and have some fun. She’s not gonna like all that work. 😀 I just did a video day before yesterday showing all the stuff I’ve got to do to get mine up for sale, and I didn’t even make it inside. At almost an acre, the yard work alone is nearly full-time. I’m exhausted. I’m soooo ready to leave, but I got myself into this, I have to dig myself out and it’s horrible. For five years I was busy working exhausting hours every day and working part-time nights and had no time to keep up with everything, so my siding looks just like your siding! 🤭 Don’t jump! BTW, it was built in ‘40. Also, if I was serious about buying it, I’d be walking around and talking to anyone and everyone about the home and its past and its occupant(s). Neighbors talk. Did you see that million dollar home on tomahawk?

[@rusty78609]

thanks

[@NowRetired-zr2qw]

Nope. My idea was still best Rusty. To handle the boredom, get a nice truck and pull a trailer to 3 or 4 different locations each year, 3 months at each location. Choose nice smaller towns with good libraries and lots of good walking areas. About the time you get really bored or sick of your neighbors it will be time to move to the next spot. No more money pits, no more RVs, no more realtors even. You could still do some traveling, weekend trips around each area, and so on. Kind of like this trip.

[@rusty78609]

hmmmmmm

[@dennism6664]

Can’t believe it, no barking dogs! Now that’s a plus right there

[@iagreewithme8577]

Something positive, it comes with a solar clothes dryer.

[@deeblevins516]

Even people in third world countries would pass on this disaster! Come on man, crank up that hybrid vehicle and get the he77 out of Dodge!

[@oscarcordero1438]

Rusty. That house has mold. You can see it on the pictures

[@kennethkilpatrick3758]

Hey Rusty, Have you heard of Camp-Inn teardrop trailers? They've been around for twenty years and are considered by many the premier teardrop trailer manufacturer. But their trailers are a bit heavy and very expensive. They started a separate line of all composite trailers they call the Road Toad. Super light yet very tough construction. They've got two models with the one I want being completely open inside. No rear kitchen, no cabinets. Weighs 400 lbs without options. Completely optioned with what I want would be about $13k. They offer 3 different ways to power the trailer including solar on the roof and connections for a power station. Would be a little rolling bedroom that should outlast me. And can be easily towed by a Corolla hybrid with a 1500lb tow limit. There are some good KZbin videos on it. I'd do the New Mexico state park primitive camping with a run down to Yuma area in the winter. There are other trailers with bathrooms that would work even better, but by the time you add up their costs plus a vehicle that can tow them you're looking at least $80k. With ongoing high fuel costs.

[@vonlee7758]

wow what a ghetto, run fast

[@kennethkilpatrick3758]

My Toyota Corolla pulling a teardrop trailer idea is looking better all the time.

[@rusty78609]

good plan

[@SilverTurtle65]

Your nuts if you’re considering buying that house. Looks like a mistake with no privacy.

[@waynewilson4140]

😂Must be April 1st. 😢😮😅 Good job RUSTY!

[@jurassicporkchop4162]

I would buy it for $35,000.00. Put in $200,000.00 to remodel it. Then I would sell it for $100,000,00 and take that money and buy an RV. haha. As one who flips houses, I see a bargain to buy it, but a mountain of money to repair it. Thanks for the tour.

[@jamesjackson7752]

It warming up here in the70s here tomorrow.😊

[@gobbsmacked9777]

I remember Geezer's videos from that area . . .

[@MelHerdliska]

In Florida we would put out a silver alert for you.

[@lomeinvideo]

I totally understand the allure of living within walking distance of the town of Ft Davis. I live in El Paso and that entire area has been a destination for my family for years - for many reasons - Balmorhea, the MCD Observatory, Ft Davis Drug Store - we go for the soda fountain and nostalgia, the Indian Lodge, and a community of very nice people. Many ElPaso families send their kids to Prude Ranch in the summer. It would be a BIG project though. There are a few homes on the same street that have been well-maintained, but are not selling quickly ( for example: 311 N. Davis St ). It may be a good legacy property ( but consider future property taxes) for your son even if you only do surface renos or just utilities for yourself - the home has a lot of major issues. Only positive thing for you and an RV (plus some rustic fencing around the entire perimeter to mask the surrounding properties) is the view of that gorgeous mountain and sky. And, you have a cute little town to walk to.

[@rusty78609]

thanks

[@billywray4524]

neighbors to close, to much work needs done.

[@oliscott7043]

ouch house needs to much work...thanks for sharing though

[@rusty78609]

It does.

[@cargone6428]

I would just put up rv carport in Zozo and call life good....

[@tenlittleindians]

It's around 80 years newer than my place here in Iowa. Weather wise all I can say is it's been in the 50's here and I hope it continues until spring. ( it won't) 😂

[@waynesaller]

It is a tier down start over.

[@OkieMike111]

Run from that mess.

[@markh6997]

No comment. 👍

[@baddriver3580]

Oh hell no 😮! Run dude

[@rosemariereade131]

Before you buy a house, drive by at different times, like Saturday or Friday night ! check it out. I would even talk to the neighbors if they are out and about. See how they are, and what vibe you get. It looks to me like old school of generations living there, why all the cars. They may even know some construction people to help you. I did see s huge bulldozer in the video across the street, so you never know! I would get inside with the realtor first. At least this gives you an idea of houses that are fixer-uppers ! And like you said, you could live in one room and fix it up. I had a friend who would buy the worst house in the best neighborhood, and fix a room, then live in it as his investment while fixing, then sell. ! So anything is possible !

[@mgcarr61camaro91]

It never hurts to look ! It might have been a gem ! But this one needs toooo much work !! 🍻🇨🇦🇺🇸

[@johnforehand8958]

Money-pit is right! This would be a HUGE, time-consuming, and expensive project. Not sure I would be willing to tackle (or pay someone else to tackle) this one at 80 years old. Good luck with whatever you decide though.

[@AtomHeart8947]

Rusty already open to the idea of buying another RV, we all knew it!

[@eileentoole4711]

No need to move…Amazon delivers Grocery also. Maybe you could get food delivered to Fort Clark Spring. get a small deep freezer. Freeze a lot of fruits for smoothies. Whenever I go grocery shopping I grab a lot of fish for freezer...fry Fish in Butter then simmer with a couple spoons full of KINDERS COOKING SAUCE. You don’t need to drive so much with a freezer and Amazon. You can stock up on wine and beer also..

[@brendaw2255]

😂😂😂 Amazon only delivers fresh and cold/frozen foods if there is a Whole Foods or Amazon Fresh store nearby. They are not available in these small rural areas. The closest Whole Foods location to Fort Davis is El Paso (200 miles). For Fort Clark Springs it would be San Antonio (125+ miles). I’m sure neither town has Instacart or DoorDash options either.

[@eileentoole4711]

@ I know Amazon will deliver dry goods anywhere they deliver and they deliver in Fort Clark Springs..That’s why he needs a small freezer for when he does shop

[@missycostello9224]

Hope you like dirt!!!!!

[@stephan695]

Looks like alot of work

[@randywallingsford3245]

Nope!

[@larrytucker222]

How fast can you run? Money pit!!!

[@jjoy7]

Wow.

[@garygordon5535]

Yeah, I’d get in the car and turn around that place looks depressing

[@patl8903]

Is this in Gaza?

[@avimagery]

I can’t imagine why you would even consider this place, when you have a much better situation in Carrizozo.

[@Wayman_Simmang]

Thats a water line tp the swamp cooler/ I would run away/ lol

[@FrankBullitt390]

Dont walk, RUN

[@gratefulgram]

I hope you decide to pass on this one it needs too much and you won’t have the privacy you like to have . Onward and upward you’ll find a perfect spot like fort Clark somewhere

[@carolcanny4778]

Hello Rusty, please don’t look back, yes you might like the town it’s located in but that specific street NO that area looks rough, I’d bet things change in that neighborhood after dark.Too much of a PROJECT even for a go getter like you !! Maybe get an actual hobby that can HOLD your interest that doesn’t require spending large amounts of money LOL 😂 Take Care 🙌❤️

[@rusty78609]

thank you

[@cabadogy]

Love that mountain, just not the house for safety reasons. Might have asbestos as well!

[@annettef6481]

It would probably cost less to Bull dose that down and find you a trailer to pull in there like you have already

[@rusty78609]

yep

[@poodleprofessor]

The comments on this video! LOL

[@belindasalinas]

I was thinking the same...🤔

[@rusty78609]

lots...

[@1968alaskan]

Water damage from the roof to the rafters, to the ceiling and walls....and looks like enough to rot the floors. Run!! She may be pretty (cough) but she's gonna break the bank, not to mention the health problems you might end up with. Run, don't look back. Just my 2 cents.

[@rusty78609]

gone

[@dennisferrell3662]

Depressing yard, depressing house, depressing neighborhood - run away quickly.

[@hookem7030]

Looks like a fixer upper. But, at least, you might have good music on the weekends with close neighbors.

[@midwestg4105]

You do you; but this looks like a "passer" on most accounts. A money out and the neighborhood looks like you will need more than your BB pistol......

[@dalejablonski436]

Leave burning rubber behind. If you don't like noise, don't buy this property. Oi vey!

[@dandrson7903]

Looks like dogs were in there.

[@eileentoole4711]

That house has no privacy .Carrazzo is a nicer neighborhood

[@trekster9269]

Don't walk away from that, Rusty. RUN!

[@Miami-qz3ml]

Rusty, no no no!

[@franklinmoorehartjr]

You could get somebody to fix it up.Make a nice home Nice little fixture, upper. Nothing wrong with it, whatever you decide to do. I'm sure you'll come up with something

[@ArmandPileggi]

Stay away Rusty😮It looks like a money pit for sure. You have the perfect place in Fort Clark Springs.
