University lgbt housing... Good idea or bad?

[Dominus]

I assume you will talk to the neighbours?

The neighbors actually have my phone number.

Or is your modus operandi to just roll in and hope for the best?

Meh, nowadays I just roll in and tell the neighborhood to deal with it.

Ok, student housing take 2.

Before, after renovations I ended up renting it to a big family. Now that the family is moving out next month, I have plans to sell my current house and move in there. Will take over one room and rent the other 6 bedrooms to college students. I will turn the living room 1 into entertainment center (tv, my collection of 500 movies, etc.), living room 2 into a library/study area, the sun room into reading space, etc. Will put 2 large fridges in the kitchen. Hang lights around the balcony. Put a grill in the back porch. For each bedroom, I will put in a twin size bed and student desk. In other words, I'm going to experiment with some things I wish my dorm had when I was a college student. Heck, I'll even put a piano in there.

This is my first time doing student housing, so I will be living there at first to get it started and see what needs changes and all that good stuff.

Oh, and I am definitely hanging up a giant rainbow flag out in front. While I will not strictly rent to lgbt students, I will make it known that it is an lgbt friendly place. I was driving around in the area and saw several big rainbow flags on the same street within a block away.

I don't know much about the business/landlord side, but it seems awesome to me! When I was a grad student, my girlfriend and I were not allowed to get a one-bedroom apartment in campus housing because two women could not share a bedroom (where they'd presumably commit unnatural sex acts). Another time, I was asked to leave a group house when the owners (not resident) found out I was gay. They did not find out I was having sex with a bi woman there after I left. Anyway, good luck with it.

An on site landlord, they're gonna be on your back 24/7.

Lucky sod.

So you are essentially going to have 6 housemates that you're sharing all the public spaces with. 7 people in how many bathrooms? Rules for overnight guests? Cleaning and cooking rules? Parties? Good luck with that Mrs. Garrett!

I had 2 housemates when I was in Grad school and for the most part things went well, but I do recall a few "discussions" about dirty dishes in the sink, noise, girlfriends repeatedly staying overnight and hogging the bathroom, "borrowed" food, etc....

The husband is cool with having one room in a frat house?

*sigh*

We are temporarily separated. We mutually agreed to pursue our own goals. I continue to build and expand the business. He lives in paradise driving his hundred thousand dollar car and getting 2 thousand dollar tattoos.

This was inevitable as I wanted to reinvest the profits we made and all he could think about was spend every penny of our profits on luxuries.

But anyway, he has a house in paradise and I am now alone in this business venture so I don't care if I have to share my house with half a dozen students.

Will you be changing your name to Anna Madrigal whilst you're at it?

 

[rareboy]

Sorry to hear that he is just another arriviste poor white boy who can only see the material world.

And sorry that you saw this as inevitable.

But we reinvent ourselves every day.

So yes. I say lean into this and become den mother to the lgbtq kids....

https://www.dispatch.com/entertainm...-facts-of-life-den-mother-started-in-musicals

We are all sorry that you and your husband have separated.

But I would say divorce him asap. Because you are the one who will be building equity. And he will be only looking for 50%.

Sorry I don't get the reference. Mind explaining?

I only started this business 2 years ago. If we divorce now and he gets 50% at this time, it is game over for me.

We actually still talk every day. There are no hard feelings between us. And we have even talked about getting back together in the future. We shared our lives for 8 years so we know each other well. I know with absolute certainty he will not seek to destroy this company. It is all I have. And right now if we split it up it is game over.

We are working out an arrangement that will work out for both of us.

I have shared this on here before. Both he and I grew up dirt poor. How I have responded to it has been to build up security to last a life time.

Unfortunately, he responded to it the opposite way. He lives for the moment because life is short. Last time he got a bonus from his employer he went to the mall and spent it all on designer clothing.

I currently drive a 2001 minivan with 230k miles on there because I am giving my business everything I have. In the words of Elon Musk, a business is like a baby. You have to care for it, feed it, give it all you have.

On the other hand, he has spent all of his portions on luxuries. That hundred thousand dollar car really hurt me in my gut. Those $2k tattoos... those expensive trips... personal trainer... it depresses me to even think about it. I could have used that money to reinvest and over the long run triple our profits.

Anyway, the good news is he has promised me he will not go after half. We will work something out.

 

[rareboy]

So he will let you do all the work and just take half anyway.

Cut your losses. Call the bluff.

Start over. And if the next partner isn't willing to contribute half the investment and sweat equity...than structure everything to reflect this.

So sorry to hear that things just aren't working out.

Carpe diem.

Sorry, they look like novels my very mean English teacher would force me to read and I would be crying myself to sleep every night over it.

 

[Cormac135]

So sorry to hear about the split from hubby, hopefully there are other men and greater adventures ahead of you as well.

 

[Dominus]

I wonder... is it a bad idea to hang gay oriented art on the walls at this place? I was thinking something like this or similar.

[m1thousand]

Large university of 20-some thousand students. They have accepted our offer for a big house. Victorian style. Lots of bedrooms. 2 living rooms. Big balcony space. Etc.

This morning, husband and I were discussing about whether to make it co-ed or single sex. Then it occurred to me. What if we make it an lgbt housing? The student tenants then could use the space to host lgbt like get-togethers.

Is this a good idea or bad?

Orgies ....

Is there a loan on the 100 grand car and if so, I hope it's only in his name. However if you are married, that may not matter. I'd be concerned about him running up debts that will fall on you. Even if you decide not to separate permanently, you might want to get legal advice on how to protect yourself.

In the meantime, it's back to just you and your hand??

LOL yes.

I prefer to call it my best friend with benefits.
