Housing Market Melt Down

Is there a melt down? Is there a crisis in the housing market?

Well make money if you have a house since others can't or are put out. Fix your backyard up into a camping ground. Charge for use of your ground, charge for use of outdoor electricity to your home, charge for other things a camper may find useful. More campers can make you money these days. More foreclosures means more looking to be campers. So, call the builders and get your back yard hooked up into a campers dream camp site that is secure even and offers certain luxuries. Sheads/small barns are good for winter camping.

This should fix out-of-home crisis people are in if cool home owners offer more private camping grounds in their backyards. Each home owner should offer a more luxurious camping ground these days, unless people do not care for people.

But lets ask you this, how can it not aid people out of homes who need some kind of a place?

I am not sure of the logistics and city "permits" needed for that (you know how they wanna make you pay for permits for throwing a couple of pieces of gravel on your sidewalk these days..) but that is a really awesome idea. I guess you could prescreen a little and get to know tenancy laws and such but hey, I think it could work, really! If you have the space, why not?

Don't know what area you are in, but adding a barn or shed out back in your own yard, is just the same as adding a car garage. If you get paid by said campers you could simply accept cash, because first of all I dont think it wise accepting personal checks from those in that type of crisis. One medium small barn with two bunkbeds put inner can fit four people (four stangers or a family of four. These should be 18 and older). Throw out some yard furnichure. Add one shed to put a portable tolet in and an outdoor showerhead in, and it's a camper's dream, especially if you throw in window A/C unit into a barn window (and for winter a space heater). They are making at least around $20,000, so they aren't total bums. This means you can make good money because they'll be paying way under what staying in a motel would run them for a week. Could charge between $200-$300 (with electric and other things included) a week, which is less than a motel stay for a week. Provide them with a walkie talkie so you and them can communicate from time to time. They'd know to get a no contract cell phones from Radio Shack and phone cards rather than bother the home owner about using their phone. However, if the home owner wont get a barn/shed to offer a more luxuious camping ground, they can still let their guests (under a number) pitch a couple tents in their backyard. You can boot up price if you will allow them to use your address temporarily for business (includes employment purposes) which makes them money which in turn makes you money. If they have a car, you can even charge them an extra one-time fee to keep parking out in front somewhere. $200 TIMES 52 weeks can make a home owner an extra $10,400 a year, and make 'em feel good about aiding someone who needed a place to stay.

SO, people, aid those out of a home if you can.
