Jobs in the Nude

[asianaturist]

What about a section for naturist careers?
When naturist resorts, clothes-optional clubs etc. need new personnel, how do they go about it? This site could introduce a central NATURIST JOBS BOARD (think "nude monster") where such resorts could post ads and find suitable recruits.
OK, I realize there's not going to be a flood of naturist jobs saving the economy, but why not try? Places like Pasco County and Palm Springs could use such a service, couldn't they?
Would such a jobs board also not bring in extra ad revenue for the site?

I would go for that in a heart beat.

A job while being nude? In my mind that would be like getting paid 40Gs' a year just to play video games or watching T.V.

I would LOVE a job where I never had to dress! Think about it...sheer heaven to me!

Being retired it has been my dream to live and work part-time in a nudist resort--preferably in a much warmer climate than Michigan.

However, since my house isn't selling and has been on the market for nearly 7 months, I guess that is JUST a dream.

Maybe it is time to change real estate agents and give the next agent only a short time, say 3 months, to sell your house so that he/she will work really diligently??????????????

While I could be wrong, I don't think it's the fault of the agent. The first buyer backed out after borrowing the money to buy it. I have two things against me in trying to sell. 1: I have two mortgages on my house so that I have to have enough to pay off both of them. 2: My house has no "curb appeal" due to very old, worn-out, obsolete siding. People drive by and see it and keep on driving. I also need to have some work done inside. I don't have any money to do any of this.

According to Rocket's standards, I guess that makes me a "loser". The realtor has a friend who is willing to waive the 6 month waiting period you have to wait after taking a house off the market (at least here) so that I can refinance both mortgages into one. If I can do that I will try to get enough to do the minor work inside and have new siding put on. Then when I try to sell it, I will have a better chance. Maybe I would have to pay some penalty fee for selling so soon after refinancing, but so be it.

There is a sale pending on my house at this time, but there are complications. 1: The potential buyer has no money for a down payment. 2: He has a number of different homes he's trying to buy as a package, so he's trying for a very large loan. 3: It looks as though he won't be getting his loan, and the realtor and I have given up on him because he's gone way past the final cut-off date, although I'm willing to wait longer if I thought he had a chance of getting his loan. He wants my house and the others he's trying to buy, but I think he's bitten off more than he can chew. Had he tried to buy my house separately, it might have been paid for by now.

I haven't given up my dream of living in a nudist resort. I've just postponed it.

<font color= "red">REALTORS OUT THERE!</font> Any helpful suggestions in this situation?

We had our house for sale in Baton Rouge with 2 different realtors. Finally sold it on our own.

Now that I'm retired, I work nude. Neighbors don't seem to mind around here.

When a house doesn't sell it is rarely the fault of the agent. If his house wasn't kept updated and in good condition he can't blame anyone for not wanting to buy it but his own self.

His agent gave him good advise.... consolidate the loans and take some of that to give the house curb appeal.

The problem being it sounds as if he owes as much as it is worth and it might be rough breaking even on it. A house is only worth a certain amount, especially one that needs work and it's value isn't related at all to what he owes on it.

working nude?
where i work that would be a plus! temps soar in the summer and even though its cooling down and there is no heat its still hot.
john-marc did agent suggest any of the following--
flowers,bushes, just a touch up of paint something along those lines?
many people want to change a house to their
liking so don't go overbroad,but you sound like me. no money. i want to sell out and go to the
carolina's but think it will be five years yet.
i need to wait till things fall apart and interest rates go up, so my mortage looks good,and it will, it always does. if i had known things would stay good for so long i would have looked aroumd more but with three childern and a new wife at the time ---.
well,now with childern grown for most part,and no companion,i look forward to travel again.

Flowers and bushes wouldn't help the looks of the house any. Years ago the house was appraised at $10,000 more than I'm now asking, and I've done a lot of work on the inside since then but not the outside. I built a walk-in closet for one bedroom and doubled the size of the other one. I installed three ceiling fans. I paneled the living room and put a beautiful mural on one wall of the living room. I've painted inside and out, put down new tile and carpet. I live indoors not outdoors, and I've never been concerned about how it looked on the outside until now when I'm trying to sell it.

I don't know the first thing about putting on siding and would have to hire it done, and the cost of labor is outrageous.

"Jobs in the Nude" - in China.

A local couple took a boat tour on the Yangtze River in China this summer. They wrote a report of it, published in the local newspaper.

Around the Wu Gorge they took a smaller boat for a short ride to the Shennong Stream. Their guide explained to them that men have pulled long boats through these shallow waters for centuries. Now these small thin men pull tourists and sing as they tug at the thick ropes, clamboring up and down the shore, sometimes walking in the water.

In this hot climite, they worked in the nude until about ten years ago and they still shed their clothes for the six mile walk home in the heat.

[FireProf]

I'd love to see some ads on nudist jobs. I am just a few years from retirement and am looking to work part time at a resort in anyway I can help out. /infopop/emoticons/icon_cool.gif

[gamblefish]

I always wanted to be a nude comedian because I know everyone would laugh at my schtick...

[TXK NUDE]

Ba Dum Dum! /infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

[anblopc98321]

Thats a good idea. We need all the employment we can find,even if it is nude.

[Baron Lake]

Just signed up as model in life drawing class. Local gallery one morning a week for 3 hours, 15 to 20 students. Doesn't pay much but maybe supports the idea (not prevalent in this conservative community) that nudity is a normal and rational part of being human. (Sorry Stu)

[NudeAl]

I was just thinking about this the other day. I will be in a position to change careers soon and I would love to land a job where I could work in the nude.

I was thinking of resort work. What sort of a service or business might go over well at a resort? I came up with massage therapist, maybe some sort of aerobics or other fitness instructor? Maybe a sort of activities director? Of course there are the normal jobs at resorts doing office work, grounds maintenance, and if they have a cafe the short order cook though this probably won't be a nude job.

I guess I was wondering what sort thing might be missing at a nude resort. I know I always hate to leave to go and get things at the store. Not enough business to open a store though.

Anyone else got an idea?

[flash]

I don't know the first thing about putting on siding and would have to hire it done, and the cost of labor is outrageous. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>Actually paneling is outdated and can reduce the value of a home because most people don't like it. The rest of the improvements will at least keep the sales price from falling and will usually increase it somewhat but what you can't do is add the total cost of all improvements to the previous worth of the home and expect it to be at market value. About the only improvement that you would get 100% back on is a second bathroom.

As for that appraisal, you need to be aware that there are many types of appraisals. If you had one to get a second loan on your home it will about always be higher than an appraisal done for resale purposes. For instance an FHA appraisal will tell you what your home is worth on the open market. A refi or second mortgage appraisal is usually exaggerated and higher so that they can lend you more money. This means that if you actually go thorough with that kind of a loan you will owe more than your home is worth and it will be years before you might reach a break even point.

And I've personally planted flowers at homes I've listed to improve the "curb appeal". The most important part to selling your house is to get the people in the door, especially in your case since most improvements are inside. I've taken buyers on tours and have had them pull up to a house and decide not to look inside because of the way the outside looks. Pay particular attention to the front door. Make sure it is clean and painted and have some potted flowers nearby. Go out to the road and try to look at your home as if you'd not seen it before, look for little things you can do to make it better like trimming bushes, sidewalks, etc.

Most important if you are with a real estate comepany they will usually do an office tour where all the agents walk thorugh and give an opinion on it's sellability. Listen to any constructive criticism they have because they are experts at selling and sometimes just a few changes can make a difference. Get feedback from anyone that has come to see your house, see what they liked and disliked. Your agent should do this for you.

Jon-Marc: Why not ask Kevin Cabrera, the real estate agent who is a member here in these forums. Look him up and give him a call, or send him a private message. I do believe he listed his business phone number in the Phoenix area. I'm sure he will give you plenty of advice, or send you to someone in your area who could give you all the answers you may have. He may belong to MLS (Multiple Listing Service), which is truely in your favor. What do you have to lose?

Also, as he stated one time, being a nudist himself, he could help you find a home that is "nudist friendly". In Phoenix, he provides this service, but I'm not sure about where you are considering re-locating to. I'm sure he has the connections.

Good luck.

Thank you, Cyndiann, for the suggestions. NudeM, I've decided that despite the cold weather, I'm going to stay in Michigan. For one thing, I want to be near my grandkids. I called and spoke with someone at Turtle Lake Resort. I was told that it will remain a nudist resort, and I was told that my buying a membership and living there would be no problem. However, it looks as though I will be staying in this house for a while--maybe a long while. It also looks as though living in a nudist resort was just a dream.

[gamblefish]

Keep dreaming and hoping Jon-Marc...you never know what God might do...

And start working on what Cyndiann has suggested. It can't hurt.

It never hurts to dream. The person who quits dreaming often gives up on life. An old man once told me, "I can tell you're still young. You can still dream." If getting old means giving up hope of a better life, then I hope I never get THAT old. Even if it never happens, dreaming gives a person hope. That's why there so many suicides--people give up hope. Without hope they have nothing to live for, and death to them is more appealing.

As for planting anything outside. I don't know anything about gardening, but I don't think people plant things outside in October in Michigan. Anyway, I will be buying siding and trying to figure out how to put it on. Actually, the place where I will buy the siding has instructional videos on just about any home improvenmnet project one wants to do. However, projects I've done myself LOOK as though I did them.

I don't know much about real estate, but I do know that putting a backyard pond in your yard is a way to put up house value. putting up a good pond about 9' by 11' only cost me 3000. ponds are being more popular and becoming the prettiest addition to any landscaping. I took me 5 weeks to build mine but if you decided to do it it might take like 3. You can buy preformed liners at your local department store.

If I'm going to spend money in an effort to make my house more sellable, I would rather spend it on the house itself, which is where improvements need to be made.

Cyndiann! You a Realtor? Sounded like it. Your ideas hit it right on the head. Also advertising is a large key here. We have a web site and advertise in a lot of the real estate magazines.
Good luck Jon-Marc, Hope it sells soon.

For sure I will be seeing her on Thanksgiving and if I can I will be spending some time at Playalinda first.

And also, I have a friend that is considering puting up a website for nudist real estate. That could be places inside resorts or homes with provacy fencing and I think he's gonna do rentals too. I will keep you posted.
