Haunted Dining Options
Since tonight is when the costumed kids will be running around Downriver accumulating candy, we thought it would be a good idea to post some ideas for the adults who won't be busy with Halloween. The Free Press had a nice little feature on some dining establishments that might be appropriate for tonight.
Thought for the Day
1) Decide what you want.
2) Decide how you'll get it.
3) Out work everyone else.
4) DON'T EVER QUIT TRYING.

Boo! Buy a Home in a Haunted City
Feeling brave? Thought Ghostbusters was not based on a true story? Then maybe you should look to relocate to some of these haunted houses. These homes are for sale in cities that have a murky past of one sort or another.
For example:
Maybe you would be more interested in the house where an axe murderer was, or a former lunatic asylum. Apparently the possibilities are limitless. Celebrate Halloween by checking out what is available and scarily intriguing at Zillow.
For example:
 |
| A French Quarter condo is available on Dauphine Street, which is also home to The Sultan’s Palace. The Sultan was a wealthy businessman who rented an estate in the 1800s and came to be known for his lifestyle of partying and holding women against their will. But the creepiest part of the story is how The Sultan died. Some say it was a pirate, while others say it was his brother vying for the sultanate. Either way The Sultan was reportedly buried alive while his family was hacked to pieces. |
As the Packard Plant Turns
This weekend, I analyzed the Packard Plant situation and determined that, even if the winning bidder fell through at $6 million, the second bidder at $2 million was still a good prospect. The second bidder was a developer and knew what they were doing, even if the first bidder was crazy and would not deliver the money.
Then Sunday and Monday brought what seemed to be positive vibes, as the winning bidder indeed had a plan and investors and guaranteed they would be paying for the place soon. Modular homes, they said. We're going to build modular homes and ship them all over the world. We speculated that this would be happening.
Tuesday brought the bizarre to the situation. Big bizarre. The Detroit Free Press has the details here. And it turns out there are people from the modular home industry saying that it's better to make them close to where they are sold.
A virtually incoherent press statement from the good Dr. and her associates from Texas makes us wonder why we gave her any benefit of the doubt. And no money yet.
We're back to relying on the second bidder.
Update: Bidder Two is the one who couldn't get the money together in August after striking a deal for $1 million. He bid $2 million and promises he can raise it. Paging Bidder Three....

Drew Barrymore Buying In New York?
She's moving on up (moving on up) to the east side, to finally get a piece of the pie. Okay, maybe not, but anytime you can get a Jeffersons reference in is an opportunity you have to take.
Drew has long lived in California, but her husband is from New York City, so it makes sense that they would be looking to pick up a place in the Big Apple.
Rumor has it that they have settled on this Park Avenue duplex, four bedrooms for $8.3 million.
You can read more about it and see more pictures by following this link here.

Auction Winner to Close on Packard Plant
Following up on yesterday's post, today's news brings word that there were other investors supporting the winning bidder on the Packard Plant, investors who have a background in real estate development, and that there is a definite plan going forward.
We predicted yesterday that the auction presaged a positive development for the property, which has virtually been in zombie mode for the last 50 years since it shut down. Although nothing is certain until it actually happens, a significant down payment is expected immediately with the balance of the $6 million payable within a week or two.
The property will be turned into a facility producing modular homes for shipment "all over the world."
Here's the Detroit News article.
Here's the Free Press.

Tenants: A True Story
Answering calls about an available rental posted on Craigslist can be a source of amusement. My latest adventure can offer tips to tenants and renters about what not to do.
I had a tenant leave (okay, I got a court order and he had to), so I had a place available. First step is to place an ad on the internet and put a For Rent sign up in front of the house. The sign drives more traffic than you would think, because people really do drive though neighborhoods seeing what is available for rent. It also makes it easier for them to find your house if they see it on the internet and drive over to check it out.
By the way, if you use Postlets.com, you will get you pretty good internet exposyure. Postlets sends your ad automatically to Craigslist, Trulia, Zillow, and other major sites.
At least in Michigan, I think newspaper ads are a waste of money.
So the calls started to come. Firstly, if you EVER want to respond to a Craigslist ad, don't make your first question about something that is in the headline of the ad, like "How much is the rent?" "As the ad says, $700/month."
Second, don't make your next question something in the body of the ad, like how many bedrooms. "Like the ad says, three."
Really, people will call, mention where they saw the ad, and then ask the questions that are already answered.

Third or Fourth Look at Packard Plant Auction
The most unusable industrial site in Detroit may be turned into something usable again. Detroit's Packard Plant, a huge sprawling tract of land bereft on police and fire protection whose size, location, and pollution have caused it to be abandoned for almost fifty years may finally have escaped real estate purgatory, as the latest developments offer hope that the site will eventually be cleaned up and put back into use. Even if the winning bidder fails to deliver on Monday (and plenty of people are wondering about that), the property will go to someone who knows what they are doing and has plans for the complex.
 |
| The plant probably would have sold a long time ago if all it needed was a little sweeping up. |
The complex, which has been completely empty for at least 15 years and would be a prime zombie breeding ground for about 50 years, was sold at the tax foreclosure auction on Friday for a smidgen over $6 million. That's kind of a big deal, since the most recent development prospect before the auction couldn't get his underwriting to fund the purchase at $1 million.

You Can Buy Art Van Founder's Mansion With No Interest for Four Years!
 |
| Built in 1990, this is the first time the home has ever been on the market. |
Art Van Elslander (and his wife), founder of the successful chain of Art Van furniture stores, is putting his house up for sale. The Grosse Pointe Shores, Michigan French Chateau is listed for $15.9 million. You can click here for the slideshow and article from the Freep.
The home features an indoor and outdoor pool, a basketball court, putting green, tennis court, sand traps, 28,000 square feet of space total (including the carriage house), 6 bedrooms, and 3.75 acres of prime shoreline space on Lake St. Clair. Why a guy that old would want a basketball court and a tennis court is beyond me.
Apparently the Van Elslanders are downsizing in their golden years. Last year, this Boyne City lakefront home went on the market for a little less than $4 million.
Still, if you are looking for the best place in Michigan to live and money is no object, you might want to look at what has been described as a "luxury playground."

Best Places in America for Your Real Estate Investment
Invest in what you know, that is something I believe in and practice as an investor. I know parts of metro Detroit, and that is where I look for prospects when I want to invest in real estate.

How To Install a Ceiling Fan
Ceiling fans are a pretty popular feature of homes in our area. Between various houses, I bet you I have installed about 20 of these things. It's not hard, any of you could do it, I bet. Follow the instructions, make sure your electrical connections are secure when you go to put the fan in, and use an electric screwdriver or your arms will get tired installing all those blades over your head.
If your fan is heavy, have someone help you. There is no worse feeling than trying to hold a fan over your head with one hand while using the other hand to put a screw in and having the screw fall down where you might not find it, but it doesn't matter because you have to keep holding up the fan or the wires will come loose when you put it down. See how long that sentence was? See how stressful it was just reading it? If your fan is heavy, have someone help you.
Here is a helpful video.

Interior Painting Tips
I do not like painting, and that is partly because I am never happy with the job I do when I do paint. I am getting better, however. I don't overload the brush as much as I used to. I have fewer drips. I recognize the value of prepping and priming before putting on the main color.
Of the tips here, I especially like the one about keeping some extra paint in a labeled glass jar for when you need to do touchups.
Overall, painting is one of the best things you can do. It freshens up a look, adds value, and does not cost much.

How Not to Sell a House
Anything wrong in this picture?
To me, it looks like a house with major foundation issues, a house that is falling down on the left side. But it is in a good neighborhood in the suburbs, priced a little high in my opinion, and is described as "excellent condition" and "well-maintained." I can only surmise that the photographer put the camera crooked when he took the picture and nobody cares about what the listing looks like.
Realtors, don't try this at home.
