MONEY PIT Or Ultimate Renovation Project?
We have so much to catch you guys up on! Multiple projects are in the works both on our off grid homestead and at our rental property. Today we are headed down to take you guys on an empty house tour of the rental property and assess whether or not its a money pit or possibly the ultimate renovation project!

We are a couple who are building our own home from the ground up in the mountains of West Virginia. After living near the city our entire lives we finally decided to sell it all, pack up our 3 kids and live in an RV on our 73 acres while building our own off-grid house and learning to live a more self-reliant life.
Our house build is documented entirely on our main channel "Wild Wonderful Off-Grid". This channel is dedicated to short vlogs showing our life outside the build.

Happy kids are the proof of good raising, and a happy home.
I think I'd pull out any scrap-worthy metals from that "house" and then contact the local fire department to see if they want to do a house burn drill. That might be an easier and less expensive way to get rid of the house and help your community fire department get access to an otherwise hard-to-find training opportunity.

As an unhappy landlord I would tear it down but my husband would say fix it. Passive income is always helpful for funding children's futures. I admire your "we get bored" , "stay busy" personalities.
Money Pit! Knock it down, you could build a small new one for what you will put into it! My 2 cents. Time for a Cooold Beeeer!!🍺🍺

"You got your smell back" -- I love that optimism, Josh!
Agree with others, it's a money pit. Tear it down.
I'm assuming that rent in the middle of WV is cheap... Tear the house down and avoid the headache
I like where big brother is patiently working with Abby and encouraging her while showing how to stack the wood. It shows that they have learned a ton from their parents. Great job with the children!
DONT TEAR IT DOWN! It’s like a perfect little rental property and it would be so awesome if you guys did a series on it!!
As long as the foundation is good,the house is salvageable. Extra income would be a great idea.

The rental property has existing electricity going to it, that's a plus . This would make a perfect in-law / guest house for people coming for visits or future rental. Given your own experiences with home building, it would be an easy fix for you guys, take it on as a pet project. Much of what you need for the home can be purchased or gotten freely from salvage operations. Erin has good taste when it comes to decorating the interior. Make it a fun plan and run with it. Any improvement is upping the equity and property value. Good luck on whatever you decide.

Look at rentals in the area on Zillow or realtor, figure out what those have, market yours based on that. Do the bare minimum to get a renter in at the price point you're comfortable. Remember, you don't live there and its an investment. Make it safe, secure, and reliable... Looks often aren't that important.
Level the thing and start from scratch is what I would do.
Let's go guys, you got this
Full Renovation! The videos alone would pay for it.
From my personal experience, I say being a landlord is for the birds.
Its so heart warming to see the kids involved in your projects. Bless then all. New pup is going to fill that house with even more love.
If, when you finish determining what all needs to be done to the rental house, you decide not renovate it you should consider contacting your rural fire district and seeing if they could use it as a training burn. My family did that when before building their new house. It saved them a ton of money over paying for demo and hauling away the debris.
I'm excited to see the rental house renovations.
is the new generator starting automaticly when batteries undercharged ? And that old house is a money pit in my oppinion
Love how y'all take your family through this and make it a learning experience for us as well as them. One stone, 2 birds.
I remember that my Grand parents had a trailer with a built on addition. And yes, they were from West Virginia. I loved that place. Good memories.
Can't wait to meet the new addition to the family. Looks precious and already has Josh whipped! LOL 🤣 How exciting! 😁
Remodel work takes twice as long and almost costs the same as building new.
Perfect timing Loves you all

no matter how good you take care of a trailer house in 20 years it junk tear it down and build something it will be cheaper in the long run. because you put 20k into it and you still have a junky trailer that in 3 to 5 years will have to be rebuilt again.

It’s a money pit. After all the remodeling you still have a trailer. Nothing but problems. I live in a trailer with built on rooms. The trailer part is always having some kid of issues.
