Well my seemingly neverending quest to find more parking has some update, but nothing of substance.
As of last writing, the Crack Shack went pending and there wasn’t much else of interest.
!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!
This is still the case, but the cool house with the hanger that was ultimately too far away also went pending, so there is that.
Trolling Zillow, two listings find themselves on my radar. So much so that I’ve requested showings on both.
The first one is actually the lead image from my last post. It is a run-down nightmare of a house, but it is close to my place and already has a shop on it.
So yeah... house would require a lot of work and my weight in bleach to get where it needs to be, but if it were structurally sound I’m not not interested. No photos of the inside of the shop, but based on the satellite view it is pretty big. 36x70?
Option 2 is about the same price, but way out in left field.
It is a house.
Just a house.
It is on a half acre lot in the center of midtown Tulsa and about the right price. Thinking here is the 2-car garage can tide me over for a bit, then there is enough access to build a shop in back and rent the house.
I mean... it needs updating but honestly it seems like a good deal. Only bummer is it is on a semi-busy street. Nothing too bad, but I would hesitate before buying for my primary home.
I plan on looking at both and buying neither.

Is option 2 an, um,
option for the 1st
property? Fix up the old house just enough to be rented out and use the shop as your own. It would also allow you to keep pretty good tabs on the rented house, as I imagine the line “you would be renting a house next to a shop that your landlord will be using all the time” would be a pretty good screening tool for potential tenants.

I vote for option number 1. It already has a shop, and the stove and cabinets look re-usable.
The floor in 2 looks really nice. The chandeliers must go. Gift them to Zoidberg I think. I like the green on green bathroom. I would change the light and take out the mesh thing. It adds personality.
Now I want to work on my house, I wish I had the time and money, and could save some of the original 1950's tile.
