Purchasing the Farm in eastern Tenn
NOTE: PLEASE CONTACT MSCHOCHOO@AOL.COM FOR MINNESOTA TRANS HOME OR GO TO http://centralhouse.gallae.com/ FOR THE NY CATSKILLS TRANS HOME BOTH STILL RUNNING AS OF SEPT 2003...............................................................
May 3rd 2003
Ok here i am again. After purchasing a home in Houston, Texas and being forced to sell it due to lack of interest in the TS community i moved on. I had donated $4,000.00 to the CATS www.tghelp.org program there but was unable to accomplish an agreement with them on donating my home. I ended up having to rent rooms to regular folk and after 4 months i decided to sell it and move on. I have learned that recently the CATS program has been disolved due to lack of funds. I am one to know that raising funds by donations is not the best way to help my brothers and sisters. I know that personal ownership or rentership is best. This means that each person gives and gets only what they give. It isn't where a person moves in and gets gets gets from donations, but never gives back. Those programs run on donating to trans will never work or accomplish anything. The other homes i have worked on are all alive due to the individuals living and taking a personal interest in each home. I am in Tacoma Washington with two young trans sisters. I am staying in their apartment with them until september 1st. We are grouping together young TS sisters who are full time in their 20's. We will rent a large house to share to be able to help one another. This will be a safe place for them and eventually i will move on. If your interested in joining our group please feel free to contact Mtuvok@aol.com Mackenzie. She is 26 and wonderful and caring and a helper too. She has been helping another sister for almost a year. In time we hope to be able to purchase a home so that equity can be acumulated for those who stay there.

"" Final update on the minnesota trans home ""
BREAKDOWN OF final COST ..ETC.. of MINNTRANSHOME
The website is down until further notice. My partner is taking over operations. I gratefully accepted her choice to run things as she sees fit.
Firstly this is a breakdown of what has transpired at the minnesota home so far. Some names have been omitted to protect thier anonymity.
Below is what i was able to compile from the receipts i have from what i spent with my credit cards.
Appliances = 3206.00 = 2493.51 + 712.49 = washer dryer frig freezer stove all are top grade except the frig is a used side by side.
hardware, tile for baths and shower, coop supplies = 1727.01
food for home that i purchased = 291.72 Tom's and 100.00 cash for the meat purchase to the local farmer for ground chuck turkey chicken and eggs. rainbow purchase 53.92 food from travel = 95.42
fuel receipts i have some i am missing = 1556.42 thankfully gas prices were low.
NGLTF creating change conference cost = flyers food copies of flyers = 99.75
tolls from travel = 83.90
TOTAL = 7114.14
DONATIONS TO PAYPAL = 469.43 = not yet transfered to my checking account..I am waiting on the legality issues some have brought up before i transfer these funds to pay off my debts.
BALANCE if i used the paypal funds = 6644.71
I do not have access to the po box so i don't know of any cash or check donations there except a 6 dollar donation in cash that i left pinned to the wall in the office.
I called my credit card companies and found that my balance on visa wachovia is 4156.39 on providian is 2676.69 on american express 330.00 TOTAL = 7163.28 as of dec 26th 2001
Some of this / approximately 120.00 /is the last couple of days since i have left minnesota and some is from XXXX who hasn't even been figured into this with the chains i bought for their truck that are laying in drive and the uhaul i rented to get them there to minnesota. they has given me 100.00 towards a bill of approximately 300.00 for rental and chains and i even wore my brakes down towing it. I am beginning to hear the screeching and i have to get new brakes. I'll cover those.
Now you Mschochoo@aol.com / my partner/ paid 400.00 from the begining with the 2 checks you wrote towards my credit cards and my mom paid another 500.00 from the 2 checks she wrote so my total was higher than it is now since my first meeting you and starting this home. I had only aproximately 120.00 in debt prior to meeting you. That was when i left Southern Comfort conference to protest for the elderly disabled and homeless. I didn't pay to go to it i just hung around with my signs trying to educate others to see past their barbie and ken show they were having. However i was given for free 2 tickets for 2 meals. So some of that 120.00 was the gas and food to get to you in minnesota. I'll cover that.
As you / my partner / know also i have left many things at the home. From pots and pans and towels and sheets and food and vitamins and cosmetics and tools and pictures and books etc etc etc I emptied out my Rv when i came to your building and took on this task that we both agreeded upon verbally.
I also used my RV for over 10,000 miles for the home.
I did a lot of work for the home which i ask for nothing. I would like to come out of this with a clean debt free cards if that is ok by you?
So if my debts were paid off today my donation would be 10,000 miles on my RV from picking up passengers and driving for many days and both bathrooms / wheelchair shower stall i built alone and the installation of the tub and tile around it and the gas lines to the kitchen stove you helped me with and the gas line for the dryer i installed and the drain stack for the washer and the kitchen i set up as well as the pipes i cleaned in that sink by disconnecting them in the basement and the living room floor glue that i did get help from one of the FtM's and the removal of a few cabinets from some rooms and the i installed and the 500.00 my mom already paid toward the credit cards and the many many things i have left at the home to help make it complete, as well as the work i did online to bring about this home. Plus the tire chains i had to buy and the brake job i now need on my RV.
NOTE: My partner's purchase's have not been figured into the building improvements above. I believe she has paid almost another 3k most of which is tools. She also spent another 10k with her original contract for deed purchase and a years worth of payments at 1110.00 a month approximately and she still will soon pay another balloon payments of 7k. so the 3k in supplies and tools and the 10k in the initial purchase and the 13k in one years payments so far and the 7k balloon will add up to approximately = 30k. However the increase in value of the property is her's unless she eventually sells this home to a non for profit group that would and should only pay her cost and mine.
The books that were donated to the home / my partner / may keep and many of them are collectable trans books.
I will show these receipts to whoever needs to see them to verify the truth. Minus the personal information.
below is what paypal has in it but it still hasn't transfered to my checking account.

I want to thank you all for being so supportive in this venture to help our brothers and sisters.
These projects to help our people are very hard and can take their toll on people and personalities. I happen to be very caring but i am also like a drill instructor and i can be a total bitch when i feel the need to keep in line those we are helping who come for help with no income but seek help. In the future when money is donated by foundations maybe we can help our brothers and sisters without expecting work from them . I never promised anyone a rosegarden. I did promise to give my all. I have in the last year been able to help with 3 housing projets for trans people. I am presently helping with a smaller one right now. My partner in the housing venture in minnesota has the personality to deal with people without being concerned about their income to the home. So she is now running that home. Soon i hope to get a settlement for the funds i invested. I may or may not get back all i invested and that is the issue i have to accept and live with. My work is freely given as i never would want a penny for my labor. That doesn't mean i won't try to do this again. I surely will and next time i may limit the type of trans people i am able to help. I surely don't like limiting the choices of who i am helping, however, this minn trans home was a learning experience. I also listen to the spirits above and they help to guide me in all i do. This has definately forced many hidden truths to be laid out in the open. one of those truths is that some people don't want to do anything but sit on their butts and take. others want to control things when they weren't the ones starting the home or paying a thing or doing any work. even others may try to use this home or this group as a way to try to get funds from others in a false way when in reality they too are doing things not on the up and up. You all know that i call it when i see it. That doesn't help me to keep friends but that isn't my purpose here. my purpose is to bring about basic help in housing to our brothers and sisters so that in the end they won't have to sell themselves on street corners or won't have to be discriminated against because they are non ops and to inspire what the spirits above have for each individual that comes into contact with me. So if you feel something that is not to your liking then that comes from above and not me. It is only my shell that does the transmitting of their ideolgies.
Now onto other homes and such. The minnesota home is only one way to help our brothers and sisters. Some here have other ideolgies that they are inspired to do. Some will share them publically as i do and others will not. Some want to turn a profit and others don't. Either way is not bad. Helping is the best no matter how it is done. However, honesty and truthfullness is a must. I tell it like i see it. I do have an investor who wants me to write a business plan for a assited living facility with a room or two for a homelss person with no income who will be DEMANDED to work there. I also have another who is helping me to start a 501(c)3 . This will surely take time. I will have to have one started in one state and then others can fall under that umbrella. as i have said previously i have met and spoken with Mr Young at the Gill foundation and he does and will give us a grant when we have a 501(c)3 .
If you are starting a home you need to get a partnersips agreement in writing before starting. I didn't mine was just verbal. i trust in the spirits above. My partner mschochoo@aol.com is a wonderful giving womyn. I am more of a controling personality until i feel things are able to run themselves. Different people different ideologies. I would have a 30 year mortgage she would rather work 80 hours a week to pay the place off ASAP with her contract for deed. I would rather organize the tenants and DEMAND that all their incomes (that were originally asked to be donated = 250.00 a month for those with incomes) were put in a total pot to accomplish the task of maintenence and upkeep of the day to day running of the operation / home. My Partner thinks that these people should be able to wait a while before they have to give to the home. I would DEMAND their help in building the home immediately as their health allowed, she seems to feel that they shouldn't be forced to help as soon as they moved into the home. I would tell them to go if they didn't comply she would allow time for them to comply. Of course i am only working with my credit cards and my experience running recovery homes that i built for ex drug addicts and alcoholics for over 13 years since 1986 till 1999 and she is working with a almost 6 figure income. This is just the facts and is not meant to be critcle of her or I.
I hope i have enlightened and not discouraged others to help our people who really need this help. bye love Danielle

""" The Altruistic trans home """
I was reading a post by someone. They said I was altruistic. I didn't know what that meant. Now I do. I think that is a great word to add to our cause. That allows all to know that each member is a giving caring member. Each person just by being at one of our facilities is a giving person. That allows us all to be equal giving partners for the cause of decent housing for the transgendered. Marina from ny and myself have talked a lot on the phone about this cause. Also my "trans home partner" Stephanie here in Minnesota. She is a lot like Rusty from Brooklyn's Transy house. A wonderful giving womyn. The altruistic aspect means that each person is a part of our group in a selfless way. Just by living here and helping to make a home, we are each giving in our own way. I would never want anyone to think that this project is about anyone's ego. I can't give unless others give along side of me. It takes a community to make a community. This group home and the others that will follow later will all be based on this altruism. To do otherwise would feed ego's and we are not about any one individuals ego. The equity that will be earned will be set up as an ongoing profit that will live in perpetuity. That means for always. That way each person knows that every time they make a monthly payment of rent they are helping trans people for eons to come. Or each homeless person who spends a month volunteering here is also too. Also any donations will be added to the group and will be listed and posted to the net, so no one will feel that their contribution is not being used in a fair way. Each person who gives say $250.00 will have a number if they want to give anonymously. However, once a person gives anonymously say at $250.00 no one else can give that exact amount. Another person who wants to donate anonymously will only be able to give $250.01 that way all records will be posted to the site and all funds will be accounted for and everyone will know exactly what their donations will be going too. This is a community effort. However, we do and will take in couples. The cost too a person who comes to live at this first building is dependent on their income. We want to charge $250.00 a month for the room, food, utilities and DSL computer access and any other things that are in this home such as the recreation room etc.. We need only a total of 8 paying tenants at $250.00 a month which will easily cover all the mortgage and utilities and food needed. This means that this facility with 14 bedrooms presently will cover free housing for 4 others. These 4 others / homeless, who live free will be doing most of the work at the facility in exchange for free rent, food, etc. The other 2 rooms at $250.00 each = $500.00 a month will provide income for expansion. This building has a concrete roof and is very easy to expand. We want to build an auditorium for gatherings. We also want to install a mini elevator system for wheelchairs. I Danielle and Stephanie, Marina, Cathy and Rusty and many others who are members of this list ==> http://groups.yahoo.com/group/TS_housing_4_poor_TSs are reaching out to all to join us in this venture of caring for our elderly and disabled and homeless trans people around the USA. We are presently trying to purchase another building / motel, in the catskills of NY to do the same. Later next year we will be focusing on a couple hundred acre farm in tennessee to offer the availability for mobilhomes and camping and maybe even a festival. Please offer other altruistic ideologies to this thought. Please respond to either Danielegrl@aol.com or to Minntranshome@aol.com Also please let the FtM community know that they are a part of this venture and they are needed now to get involved as we grow. Please also join our list at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/TS_housing_4_poor_TSs and send us a letter telling us why and how you can help. We don't want this list to become a flame war list. Right now it is a peaceful list with mostly positive input. bye love Danielle
PS: We as memebers of the GBLT community are glad to let our spirits beneath shine through for all the GBLT community to know that even though we do a lot of outter body / outter shell work on our physical bodies we are also wonderful giving spiritual beings who are about being the spirits we know we feel we are inside. Thats why we transitioned to begin with and thats why after we finish our outter shells we then move on to the task of getting down to business. We hope the GBL communtiy will understand how and why we do what we do and know our spirits are running parralel with theirs.

*****3rd UPDATE*****
Details of trans housing for disabled
We are presently working on a shower for wheelchairs and a giant tub and putting in an extra toilet. This building has 14 bedrooms. It has 4 toilets and with the baths we are working on it will have a giant tub and a wheelchair shower. There is also a kitchen that is like a nurses station. That we will use as a snack kitchen. There is another room that has a large room with many cabinets that we are converting into a giant kitchen. This only needs a stove and a refrigerator and a sink. The plumbing is right below it and it has 2 small sinks already. Each bedroom has a sink and a night stand. Then we have another room that is a library room. It was used for all the previous medical books that were used here. Then we have another room that can be used as an additional shower and dressing area. Then we have another room that could be used as an examining room in case a DR was called in to see someone. It has its own bathroom too. The floor plan is a H pattern. The building also has a video store in the front. This was just rented to two lesbian womyn in the last 2 months. ( no lease yet) They have offered to let our tenants work there to keep active. The building is 65 feet by a 100 feet. It has concrete floors and a concrete roof. This concrete roof will allow for expansion and a future auditorium. A place to maybe play indoor basket ball and many other uses. The basement also has a large heated space to be used as a recreation room. That is where we want to put in a pool table and a ping pong table. We just purchased another hot water heater. It with the other gives us a total of 120 gallons of hot water. We have central air and hot water radiant heat that is built into the walls. The town has a population of 1200. The town is situated along the third biggest lake in Minnesota. Lake minnewaska. This town is considered a tourist town. This town is 2 hours west of Minneapolis. There is a nice hospital here too. Here is that web site. >>>>http://www.scmcmorris.com/<<<< The adjoining town has a web site too. Here it is. >>>>http://www.glenwood-starbuck.org/<<<< This is hopefully is going to be just the first start in running care homes for our own people. This building just has the numbers going for it. I think many areas of the country have numbers ready to blossom into permanent trans safe homes. 14 bedrooms at $250.00 a month with everything included except the medical doctors. That equals $3500.00 which the mortgage is only $650.00 and the expenses will be another $1200.00 we still have room for free rooms for those who can't afford paying any money. I think eventually we can get these set up in at least 5 or 6 quadrants of the USA. This office has DSL and is very big with presently 2 computers and room for another 3. If these people were living here to help rather than barely making it elsewhere it wouldn't be a shame. The numbers add up here. Plus Minnesota is already transgender protected and safe too. Any way I went to home depot last night and we acquired over a $1000.00 worth of shower building supplies. All the tiles and backboard and fixtures and plumbing and some electric. This is for a wheelchair accessible shower. To tell you the truth. I am having a blast being able to do what I love for those who I love with all my strength. That is the reward. Just 2 hours west of Minneapolis. Right next to one of the 3 biggest lakes in this state. Buffalo running around out here too. On farms of course. giggle. Probably a great place to go ice skating and cross country skiing later this winter. This is just what 2 trans womyn are doing. I wanted to let all know that this kind of thing could and should be done in other areas of the USA. I was contacted by a student who is finishing his degree in psychology. He is going to apply for a grant to work under the local hospital and do counseling here. There are many ways trans people can get involved with projects like this. Some may just be doing a fundraiser and bringing your butt here to enjoy the wonders of this area and bring some free labor or whatever you may have to offer. We anticipate having the baths done in 10 days and the kitchen done by October 25th. That would leave a Halloween opening for tenants to start moving into here. I was already contacted by 3 who want to move here in the next month. These are people coming from distant states. Others local to Minneapolis also want to come here and live out their days with the love of those who can give them the respect they need as non ops pre ops or post ops. In time we will have a few homeless people come here to live for free and start learning a trade. That trade will be the caring of our elderly and disabled. These people tend to have little incomes. These little incomes put together add up to a much easier way of life. Plus the benefits of respect as a trans person. Please feel free to join our venture. Please don't just have a voice but have something to add. Opinions are like. well ... you know.. but those who want to give real help are greatly needed for this venture. Right now I have another group focusing on this idea in the Catskills on NY. The have found an old motel. I have offered to use my apartment building in Phila Pa .. see site >>>>http://hometown.aol.com/patriplexsale/<<<< as a potential 1031 exchange. I presently have 66k in equity. In a like kind exchange I may have more value for someone wanting to vacate their isolated property for a property in a less isolated area such as mine is located. After this winter we should easily have this property filled and running smoothly. Then we want to purchase a farm maybe in Tennessee. This will be another place to put mobil homes and such. We also want to have at least a 100 acres to be able to hold a transgendered festival. This festival site with housing could also be able to be a fundraising type of festival that could help to finance the land and help many with low income housing. These ventures are quite feasible. It just takes a person with the ability to listen to the spirits above and want to take risk by trusting in a dream. bye love Danielle / Danielegrl@aol.com
***** 2nd update *****
Minn. town approves of tranny home
I just got back from the city hall and after putting the administration to the test they approved what I had told them I wanted to do with the building. I said there will be many transgendered people living under the roof of the building here in western Minnesota. They said as long as we follow Boca code all will be great. They said our building was built way above Boca code anyway so we had nothing to worry about. They ask me did we expect to be using their rainbow disability vans. I asked why. They said they need more riders or they might get shut down. Imagine that! They need us.. I then went to the mortgage company to help my partner get a mortgage and get out from under heavy contract for deed agreement and they did a credit check and we are practically approved for the financing we need. Bless the spirits above ... how they guide and direct... yeaaaaaaaaaa let the world know that trannies everywhere won't have to be discriminated against as disabled or elderly as we take care of our own.. No worrying about being non op and being put in a wrong gender facility. Plus this will offer those who are younger a chance to live here and learn about taking care of others. They will be treated to free rent and free electrolysis by my partner and free tutoring by me. Of course i am only a Bio-chem major but i know my area well and i am glad to tutor to the 2nd year of college for anyone who wants to help our elderly and disabled tranies. bye love Danielle
********** UPDATE ********** I found a Place for our disabled etc. I just found a property in Minnesota. A trans womyn bought it and it has 14 bedrooms and 3 baths and a kitchen and a library and a workshop with a giant basement to be redone as a recreation room with pool table etc. This place can become an office for the NTAC as an answering service. This place can also be used to immediately house disabled trans men and women at a rate of only 250.00 a month. That includes a bedroom and bathroom uses and laundry and kitchen and the food issue is all that needs to be worked out. The utilities are included.
I have joined her in a partnership to be a continuing service long after we are deceased. She is now part owners of my property in Phila Pa. as I am now part owners of her property here. This building was a government building and was designed as a medical clinic. It is one floor with a basement. It is over 100 feet long by 60 feet wide. This building is wired to all rooms and has a sink in each bedroom. Plus cabinets and a mirror and windows and sound proof walls. Who ever wants to get in touch with me for the possibility of a NTAC hotline answering service then please let me know. If anyone wants to send a potential client here too please let me know. After this project is filled to capacity then the owner and myself will be expanding to a southern state for the desire of a farm. This building is in a small Minnesota town by a super large lake and is considered a resort town. It sure is quaint and there are a few lesbians and 3 or 4 gay guys nearby. The town people are very friendly and as we all know Minnesota is a trans friendly state with all protections and they even pay for SRS for those on assistance. Bye love Danielle / Danielegrl@aol.com

A PLACE FOR OUR OWN.
a FARM, A HOME, A PLACE FOR OUR OWN.
A PLACE WHERE THOSE WHO CAN HELP , THOSE WHO CAN'T HELP THEMSELVES.
"" MAYBE EVEN A TRANSGENDER FESTIVAL SITE ""
ALSO A PLACE TO BRING OUR HOMELESS AND STREETWALKERS AWAY FROM THE TEMPTATIONS OF THE CITY.
Right now i am working on buying a farm in eastern tenn for our disabled and edlerly. I am in Knoxville right now as i just left Atlanta SCC convention as i was just at www.SCCatl.org trying to convince many there to look past the barbie doll stage and see others who are hurting. I got great feedback there. I have 2 FtM friends (one is BEARFROMTN@AOL.COM) and 2 MtF friends who are also on disability and can make monthly payments to help purchase a place with me after i sell my apartment building in pa. I DID GET A LOT OF PEOPLE WHO WANT TO HELP. MANY WITH WRITING GRANTS AND FOUNDATION LEADS. SOME WITH OFFERS OF CASH AND LABOR AND ANOTHER WITH OFFER TO HELP START A ANSWERING SERVICE TO GIVE JOBS. MY IDEA IS TO HAVE A PLACE IN THE MOUNTAINS (100 ACRES WITH A HOUSE TO START) HERE WHERE THE DISABLED CAN LIVE AND ELDERLY TOO AND THE HOMELSSS CAN BE BROUGHT HERE TO LEARN ABOUT THOSE OTHERS WHO ARE LESS FORTUNATE.. THAT WAY THEY CAN GET MORE HUMANIZED WITH CONCERN FOR OUR BROTHERS AND SISTERS. LATER THIS PLACE CAN BE A GERIATRIC FACILITY AND A FESTIVAL SITE AND A PLACE FOR OUR COMMUNITY TO BE ABLE TO HAVE A ANSWERING SERVICE AND HOTLINE FOR THOSE ON THE EAST COAST. MAYBE MORE.
PLEASE OFFER OTHER IDEAS THAT THIS PLACE CAN BE USED FOR.
Also know that this idea can be started in any place in the world.

Financing the Property
Danielle = Sells apartment building in pa = 66k due to my Mom and child - 16k ------ down payment 50k Bear + Ande f2m's pay $400.00 a month = 50k Rachel + Lisa m2f's pay $400.00 month = 50k ------- this purchasing power will equal = 150k
More people will add to this effort and make the farm grow.
Logistics:: I have excellent credit = Danielle ..this allows me to buy $100,000.00 with no documentation to my income. The $50k I get from my apartment sale gives the initial down payment. That means in the beginning I am buying using only my name and my down payment. However, I do need others to make my monthly payment on the 100k balance. A 100k balance will equal payments of approximately $800.00 to a $1000.00 a month including taxes and insurance. That is known as the 1% rule. 1% of the balance owed is the monthly mortgage payment on a 30 year fixed rate mortgage. example : 150,000.00 owed = 1,500.00 a month 200,000.00 owed = 2,000.00 a month etc etc etc I would love to find another with income to help me purchase a much larger property to begin with rather than just a 150k property. ?;-)
I do need those with permanent disability incomes to cover the cost of the monthly mortgage payments. Each 100.00 a month payment is = to 10,000.00 in purchasing power. However, I as a single person with my 50k down and my 100k no document ability can only go to 150k . That means that I need others with great credit too to be able to buy a larger property. Each person with their monthly payments are able to up and leave at anytime and if all did this I wouldn't be able to keep this property as I have no income so I would have to sell. That is why I am looking for those with a lifetime commitment to buying this place and not worrying that they would ever own such. This place would stay in perpetuity to continue to keep helping others for years to come even after some died. New ones would come in and take over where others left due to death or leaving. ( As you see i am the one risking it all. )

Living on the farm / festival site
This farm would have hopefully up to 25 trans brothers and sisters eventually. This would lower the monthly payment each would be responsible for. Example. 150k property 10k times 10 people = payments of only 100.00 a month by each person.
However, we need housing to house each of the 10 trans people. So some would pay an extra say 200.00 a month to purchase a mobile home that would be set up on this property. Example :: $20,000.00 mobile home cost 200.00 a month in payments over 30 years. This mobile home could have 3 bedrooms and thus one of the rooms could be a room for a free homeless person who would pay by doing the cooking and cleaning for those who pay for it with their disability incomes. The homeless person would put their food stamps towards that household to be shared.
The main building I am looking for should have room for at least 5 bedrooms to start. That would cover those to get the farm started. Each person would pay 400.00 a month which would equal 2000.00 a month which would easily cover the 1000.00 a month needed for paying my 100,000.00 / 100k no doc mortgage and the other 1000.00 a month would be used to do improvements and buy a 4x4 truck and supplies. In the beginning this will take time to grow. I am sure this dream will become a wonderful place. Unlike the MWMF which charges 100's of dollars to come to a festival this land would be centered on helping those who are elderly and disabled. This place would have a spirit of helping and not a spirit of self centeredness. Eventually this project could be taken over by www.ntac.org This land could be a place to have a answering hotline for NTAC and for those in the TG world who need answers.
