- This is a commercial property I bought in 2017 and I am showing it on TH-cam for the first time. Not only am I showing it for the first time but I am seeing parts of it for the first time as well. I had no idea it had 2 basements until they were out and I found more parts of the property I have never been in! it is a little weird and I am not sure what to do with it but it is cool!

Here is part 2 exploring the upstairs and other parts. th-cam.com/video/mgGSu5E7b4E/w-d-xo.htmlsi=NlHfVKyN_c72Ic1i
Where is this place ?
Hi . Just joined your channel. This old furniture repair shop and I have event planning background see much potential in this property!! Many ideas come to mind. Such as, event venues, non-profit youth Comm. Center. (Underground up coming music artists), PC gaming center, even a night club if you’re into that. I’m not sure where you’re located and what the demographics are. But SO much potential ❤I’d have fun with this property.
Bet you $100 that basement? Used to be a coal bunker.
The red piece of metal in the basement is a weight off the front of an old international harvester tractor.
INteresting! Thank you
I came here looking for this comment! I spotted the IH on there right away!
I have a Ford 1600 with the same weights.
That's commonly refereed to as a "suitcase weight"
Dude was using a screwdriver in 2024. When impacts and drills are cheap. Says alot a out how much of a man he is. He complained about getting his clothes dirty. He needs to stick to the office and pay someone else to do this.
On table were buckets from a bucket elevator. Grain would have dropped into a chute at the wall directed to the hole in middle of floor. That held the base of the bucket elevator. Then grain was scooped and carried vertically to the top of the elevator where it dumped into another chute directing it to the silos
Yep ya beat me to it
Thank you!
This makes more sense than my idea of the old boiler room and a coal chute...
@@212caboose That was my first idea.
It's not like they trashed the place. And it looks like it was old seven years ago. Be thankful you got all that rent money.
The rusty piece of metal leaning against the wall (at 12:08) is an old International Harvester (IH) tractor weight.
Would the chute be for coal back when they had coal burning furnace? We burned coal for heat up to the 1960s
Is that a dead smoke detector beeping?😂That would make a great museum for your business adventures.
Yes lol
Or just needs a battery
As a gardener/homemaker- that is a wonderful space. The storing of can goods in that basement - or drying out large amounts of potatoes on any floor - so many possibilities.😊
If there is a plot of land around, boy oh boy, this could elimate a food desert.
There is a vacant lot next door owned by Xcel, the local electric company
10:38 Awesome! Those a gauges from a Warren Webster Steam heating system. Don't throw those out. You scored a few bits of history! 11:32 That is the coal chute with an antique coal shovel next to it.
That was my guess too.
Crazy. I don't think it is coal as the dump is so large
@@investfourmore Coal furnaces used a lot of coal.
I really enjoy your content and humor 😂 Thanks for taking us on your adventure!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Way back in '72 I entered an old abandoned house in the middle of a ten acre overgrown plot. Kids had been exploring it for years before I discovered it's secret hidden basement (door behind refrigerator). This being EXTREMELY unusual as the house was in Miami Shores, FL. It was too dark to explore and I went home for a flashlight before my dad stopped me. The next three days the place had police and fire dept all over it.. then it was knocked down and filled. The lot was built up about 5 years later... never did find out what was in that basement...
crazy
Word
Darn!
Explain please
@@scottb1965 drugs are a terrible thing, seek help
You are a brave man Mark. There is no way I would have gone into that first basement.
Here is the semi trailer reveal. I forgot to include it th-cam.com/users/shortsvfsrKyyqVjo?si=Nc-za_08fpvmqUzj
17:19 that was no fire but most likely coal residue from a old coal room for the furnace. My house still has very black stained basement walls from the coal that used to be stored there. On a side note my house was built in 1910 and has very similar support beams in the basement.
This basement explore is the best video you’ve uploaded in a long time! Loved it! ULTIMATE MURDER ROOM 😂😂💯
Thanks!
Mark, you did it! You finally found the *ultimate* murder room in that basement 😮
:)
Grain chute/reminds me of a an old coal chute. Had one that Dad changed to an outside stairs to the basement to our old home built in 1855, according to the old paperwork that my son oldest son “lost”.
It may have been a coal chute & not for grain.
Antique international Harvester tractor weight might be worth something. The other thing is a bar clamp for gluing up pieces of wood.
Thanks!
That tire wasn't there until you opened the basement, The tires know! 🤭
They follow me
So you have the beginnings Mark as I saw a trailer and one tire.... Those tires seem to follow you everywhere don't they? You need to buy or open a tire shop so maybe that is what you need to do with this property???😂🤣😅😆😁😄
Very interesting building though with tons of possibilities. This will be fun also to see what happens with it and also during your next explore session with it too. 👍👍👍
Careful you didn’t unlock the portal to the underworld…. 😅
Cool old building. I’m a contractor and get to go through some crazy old places from time to time. Jumped into one crawlspace a while back and there was a full on made up bed and chair down there and the hatch to the thing had a locking system on it that could be locked and unlocked from another room. I heard later they had kept someone in there.. definitely silence of the lamb level stuff
Really cool building. I can see it being a really cool artist studio.
That shoot
reminds me of the coal shoots used to accept large deliveries of coal that would be used
heat a building. They were very common before the 1940's.. The implacement near the end of the shoot looks very much like part of a commercial coal furnace pre WW2. Coal furnances started being
phased out post WW2 as oil furnaces replaced coal, as oil was cleaner and you did not have to deal with coal dust and shoveling coal into the furnance and less risk of fires. Oil was stored in under. ground tanks and pumped to meet the needs of the furnace.
Most residential
properties built before WW2 converted to oil or electric heat ASAP as it came to be available to an
area. Most large commercial
building went with
oil as it was more reliable and cheaper for large spaces.
The coal shoot almost completely disappeared in to history as residential buildings repurposed for oil or electric removed them as unneeded. The same happened in commercial buildings, except if kept for deliveries a of heavy materials into a basement area to avoid using stairs or adding an elevator.
Damn girl how old are you?
Please stop,your rambling on about crap nobody cares about
This place would be good for a store or a pawnshop
yes or a restaurant without the dirt
Yes...the gimp could stay in the basement.
IH suitcase weight for International Harvester tractor. Worth 100-200 dollars. Sometimes more, sometimes less. But it has value. That shovel appears to be a grain shovel because that's where it would've been needed. Quite possibly since there was a light upstairs there, you could've climbed that straight dead-end looking ladder and pushed up on that particle board and gone on up there. Growing up on a farm served me well today. 😊
And the black dial thing in the basement was a 60s 70s mid-century weather station with barometer. Everyone seemed to have one version or another hanging on the wall.
That basement was the best murder room ever. Thought that was a body wrapped up on that table. Be careful down there friend.
It was interesting!
@@investfourmore 11:22 looks like that sheeting was covering up another room / crawl space access.
wow that was a lot of dust, even upstairs too.
What a sweet building! Lived the video, hope to see more like this!
Thank you! It was interesting!
Oh I just want to hose it out and clean it, the tenants haven't really been keeping up with general cleanliness! Great property
True, on the other hand refinishing is dirty business. I used to work at Ethan Allen and out tech guys space was organised but not without dirt. Working there, I also worked with with a reupholsterer and it was dirty too. I also thought of hosing it down.
I really enjoyed this segment! Fabulous property, enormous potential. Sleep on it for a few weeks and figure out some plans forward :-)
Thanks!
I have been buying properties most of my life and I always inspect every square foot before I close on the property. Have found many issue's that killed the deal and I luckily discovered, Always do a complete inspection. There are so many code violations in that building there is no way you could even rent it if they enforce the building codes where it is located. Good luck with the project.
I bought a house 5 years ago. I don’t think who the inspector was , BUT I wish I would have also inspected the house or at least done a tag along with the inspection. Basically several things that I think were not up to code.
Thanks for the tour.😊
Any time!
That front office you went into first would make an awesome bar and grill
the red one is a tractor weight, the long ones are wood vise clamps and the place where you said they dumped stuff is a grain chute
You may want to place a lock on the trailer doors. Keep kids from locking their friends in it, and then forgetting about them.
It is locked
Don't give those gauges away!!! So those old gauges in the basement are from whatever old heatng system they had down there. Most likely a boiler system. Those are vacuum pressure gauges. They were mounted to that board then hung on the wall
Part of the building where the air line hose is I'm wondering if it was used as a bike shop. I've seen the work area of some and it has the same setup. The upper loft would be used as additional bike part storage. You never know what you could find up there. Also, in the first hidden basement it looks like there was a coal chute with a coal furnace where the trash pit is. That would be my estimate guess especially with the age of the building that looks like it was built maybe before 1900.
it was a furniture shop. Air line would be operate air tools like nail guns or sprayers.
If you are going to sell the place, don't make extensive changes to it. It is a bank slate that the new owners can configure to meet their needs. Just make sure the existing electric and water work so they have available for use for the renovation.
Soild steel is weight for a tractor the other two items are bar clamps for glueing wood work
Pretty cool. Don’t light any matches in that basement though.
agreed!
the small basement the one you tore off the floor boards was a broiler room the ramp is where they use to unload coal the shovel they would shovel the coal into the broiler of coarse to heat the building
elevator
Yep part of it was an old feed mill. Pit in the one basement filled with trashis where a grain leg use to be and i bet it went up through the floor and maybe the roof.
This pace would look so cool with lots of paint and all the wood restored and cleaned.WOW
yes
you could literally use that as a place to Work and Live at the same time Just a thought
You seen the shower/shitter combo right ,gonna bring some Chick back here, she's gone ,maybe your dog , he's seen better dumps than this , he's gone ,good luck
That weight is for adding weight to a tractor, it would hang on a bar. That thing you thought was a vice is a "bar clamp". All that dust! I would have been wearing a good dust mask for sure!
Shute was probably a cool shute or freight delivery
That's a big one for coal
Mark, another weird one!😂 Looking forward to what you decide to do with it.🤗
Just spend the money to get two proper staircases and then put in the roller door so people can bring trucks in.
It looks like the chute is for coal, the base for the boiler is by the open floor. The basements could be used for wine storage or cheese (that's a new thing for commercial The electric and plumbing needs replacing. It has possibilities for two residential properties for rental (is there a college nearby? There are possibilities for income producing. A laundromat might be one idea. I am a commercial specialist and for what you paid I think you did OK for what you paid, the trick is to not let it sit too long and deteriorate. Put some money into it and flip it or use as income producing.
That chute was most likely for Coal ❤. But certainly this building 👷♂️ is not worth $100,000 because it is very hap hazardly zoned off! No easy access! 😂
I could sell it for 100k in about 2 seconds.
Im looking at that place and thinking you could rezone it for residential and do one of those cool conversions people do to old buildings of it into a Home or something.
So much potential
yes
Put a couple open concept studio condo units in there. Easy !!! Wone cellars in the basement !? 🤷🏻♂️
🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑
@12:10 the solid metal is a IH tractor weight. Known today as CASE IH
(International Harvester) its red in color yea !?
The odd shaped metal items COULD be tractor weights for old (antique?) tractors to keep the front end from rising when you used them for heavier duty than the bare front end could hold. I had a 1948? Oliver with a frame to set them in. It is possible the frame was a "universal" fit.
that reminded me of where we would get coal delivered to heat the house I grew up in. It was all black like that and they would shovel it into the heater. Right after we bought the house my parents converted to oil heat and then had the coal chute cider blocked up and sealed
11:31 would love to see you dig up the pit to see what treasures and or you renovating this property
Sounds like a plan to me
I would find a concrete cutter to cut a door into the other basement and put in walls with insulation and elctrical ,makes a nice clean storage area, I would fix the property up and use it for your own office and some storage to make income.
Definitely interesting!
Very!
Glad the tire was there to welcome you!
Me too!!! 😅😅😅
The round rubber object was to tired to leave the place..
The chute was probably for coal deliveries; look for signs of old boilers, etc. At first glance, the front area might work for a dance studio (if that hardwood is real and doesn't need replacement). A brewery? A storage company? A restaurant (plenty of space to put in a kitchen)?
🖖🙏
Definitely some grain elevator in there! And double murder basements!!
yes!
It's a solid structure on the grain elevator side that for sure.
They don't make 'em like they used to.
Those beams were impressive.
Basic structure looks pretty good. Might be a good commercial property. Perhaps with maybe two tenants.
Most older Commercial Buildings that do not have Historical History / Value, are not worth anything, when You are Selling the property. It is Land Value, & Location. Hopefully you will find someone that wants to rent / lease it as a shop.
Not around here. Commerical is very valuable and tough to find
Thats a coil shoot and next to it is a coil shovel. Most likey coil was the heating source back in the day.
Put a couple open concept studio condo units in there. Easy !!!
🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑
Basement has that “it rubs the lotion on its skin or it gets the hose again” vibe to it 😅
Are you sure you’re not letting you enthusiasm for creating media get the better of you? I was afraid for you when you went down in that murder hole!! Glad you made it out alive!
I would have done that whether I was filming or not haha
You have to change the smoke sensor battery.
Black coal dust on wall, chute was to bring coal room at 1 time held coal
I thought that for a moment until I saw the chute. The coal chutes I've seen are pretty narrow usually, but this was an old grain elevator, so it's almost certainly for grain. I doubt there was any form of heat other than electric or gas in that building.
that's mostlikely a coal chute next to that shovel, that opening in front of it is for water that makes it's way past the outer door old buildings tend to have been built really stout, they built what they knew worked.
Interesting property, what city is it located? Could be great rental for many things if the economy of the city and location supports it.😊just found your channel, now watching upstairs reveal.
Thanks!
That floor fastener is a clutch driver style screw, commonly used in older trailers on closet doors and other assorted things, only a couple sizes and usually sold in a small set of 3 or 4 sizes. I cuss them when I run into one. Bad enough when they invented torx drivers for automotive use.
I would not add a garage door to the building. With all the space in the back, it would make more sense to construct a large garage if someone needed one. I'm sure you can sell the trailer and get it removed from the property.
Interesting looking building, we want to see upstairs!
U also inherited a spirit!!!! She told u something, I believe, in response to ur narrative or just pointing something out. Timestamp 16:33. She says "everything...psshh shh shh". I rewound numerous times, but alas I've have no quality headphones and this dam bday party next door to my window is in full swing. East l.a. can get pretty excessive!!!!
If those fluorescent fixtures are 8 foot T17 bulbs, those have quite a bit of value, both the fixture and bulb. They are getting quite rare today.
interesting
I Recently found your channel. I'm an investor in the Seattle area. My stuff is residential. Mostly rental houses right now. I've been interested in commercial but the buy in is steep. Properties like this one just don't come up around here.
They are steep here now too. You can't find places this cheap anymore
Would it be possible to cut an archway through the walls between the 2 basements?
Then remove the death trap stairs in the 1st basement.
I'd put an upright door on the better set of stairs, too (like a closet around the top of the stairs).
they are not next to each other
@@investfourmore is there a 3rd basement between?
you should try to Contact the Energy Company that owns the lot next door. If you decide to Sell the place. See if perhaps they would want to perhaps the chance to buy the Place First before You Place it on the Market. I mean it would be worth a Shot. I mean, Who knows, Maybe they would buy it. The worst thing that could happen is they not reply or say No thanks.
They way they respond to our requests it would take them 6 years
@@investfourmore Well, worth a shot at least, I mean if you are considering on sailing it at least. Like perhaps just wait a week before listing it, after you giving them a call or email. saying you are selling a property and its right next door to Land they already own. If they Don't call or email you back after a week. List the Property then. Just put that in the email. just say, Hey thought I would let you have the chance of acquiring the property first before I list it on the market in a weeks time on such and such date.
Those "vise" things are called sash clamps, used for glueing slat timber into panels.
11:30 This looks like a coal delivery chute. They might of had a boiler to provide power for steam driven machines throughout the facility. Additionally, if that was a feed mill, they may have sold some coal to local farriers and blacksmiths. 12:18 bar clamps.
I don't think that osb above the ladder is screwed in. It probably just lifte up like any attic access panel.
I had tried before. It was definitley screwed in
I think in the basement that you thought was a couch or no clue is a duck blind The bottles or so it would float in a wire you to stick branches in it
agreed
Laundry Mat. if the area would be good for it. Plan B would be to set up for light faborcation (welding, machine shop) or repair shop (small engine\cars, etc).
Amazing deal!!!👍
Yes it was!
Not vices but wood working clamps . By the size they would be for cabinet work.
Careful cleaning up any grain dust. It could be highly flammable.
Those vice grips are worth a lot of money
My uncle had some that looked exactly like that that were my great grandfather’s. I’m 55 years old.
Did you forget to turn off the light down in the basement, Mark?
No, i got it
Check the date on the tire and that would give you a rough estimate as to how long it has been since someone has been there.
That Shoot in the basement with the hole down there was probably used to hold coal for heating back in the 20s and 30s
It looks like an automotive repair bay. Like you see in the "Quick Oil Lube" places. They have the ramp to get the barrels of oils and greases out. The beams would be like that to hold the weight of the automobiles on that floor. If they weren't there the mechanic would be crushed.
The large item you called a clamp I think is a large scribe and the items you thought were for a scale I thing are humidity measuring meter.
11:30 oh that looks like a Cole shoot and Cole pit for heating. Unless it was used for a grain elevator.
elevator
Hole in basment floor looks like an auger pit, to take corn to silos.
The shoot is a coal shoot for a coal-fired furnace that undoubtedly fit in the recessed part of the floor. The old coal shovel is still there.
It was a coal and feed store. That was the elevator
Ohhhh!! Lots of orbs 😮
Would the electric company be interested in purchasing the land?
The long bar thing are probably cabinet making clamps
Looks like an old coal chute and an old boiler ! Maybe used to heat the building you never know it looks like it's over a hundred years old😮😢😂
