Spreading good cheer...

T

By Sydney Emerson

he Christmas season never ends for Dave Hatch. As the director of Mountain View Bible Church’s “cheer box” program, he spends 365 days a year thinking about holiday presents to send to children around the world — and if those presents will fit into a shoebox.

Around 20 years ago, the church — then called Pilgrim Holiness Church — began participating in Operation Christmas Child, which is organized by Samaritan’s Purse International Relief, a nondenominational Christian organization that sends aid around

. in a box

Lake Placid church volunteers lift holiday spirits with gifts

the world. The “cheer boxes” are shoeboxes provided by Samaritan’s Purse that groups fill with goods to send to children in low-income, war-torn or disaster-stricken countries. There are three categories of boxes: 2-4 years old, 5-9 years old and 10-14 years old.

“These are going to kids that have nothing. I mean, if you see some of the videos come back, the kids actually cry because they can’t believe what they’re getting,” Hatch said. “(Samaritan’s Purse) sends them all around the world, wherever there’s catastrophe — fire, flood, whatever.”

The organization has sent out around 200 million boxes since the project’s inception

in 1993 and currently average around 11 million shoeboxes each year. Mountain View’s program contributed more than 1,000 boxes to that tally this past holiday season, a significant increase from the 16 boxes the congregation contributed during its first year participating in the project. Hatch does not take credit for the steady growth of the church’s donations, though he has played a large part in directing the program. Instead, he said his granddaughter, Anika, was the one who spearheaded the effort.

“When I first started, we did 16 (boxes) our first year. Then we did about 40,” Hatch said. “Then my granddaughter got involved, and leave it to girls — I mean, she wasn’t that old, she’s only 16 now — but when she got involved, she started saying, ‘We have to do more boxes, Papa.’ So I think she went up to 100 that year, then the next year was 200. Well, every year, she increases it. Makes me nervous.

Two years ago we did 700, then last year she said, ‘We’ve got to do 1,000.’ So we did — we had 1,027. So this year we shot for 1,100; we did 1,111 boxes.”

The cheer boxes have become a yearround task for Anika, too. While visiting Florida, recently, she called Hatch to tell him that she’d found some items for next year’s boxes.

“She calls me last week and says, ‘Papa, I have some things for next year already.’ She found some soap, she found a bunch of school paper,” Hatch said. “She knows the prices.

She’s really sharp.”

Hatch’s boxes usually contain the same core items such school supplies, a washcloth, soap, a T-shirt and toys. There may be a hairbrush for the girls or a baseball glove for the boys. Every box, however, contains a Matchbox car — that was Anika’s doing, according to Hatch.

“My granddaughter said, ‘Papa, I like Matchbox cars, and the girls are getting them, too,’” he said.

THE RIVERSIDE TAVERN and DINER

Historically known as the Riverside Inn, the Riverside Tavern has been for generations a friendly gathering place that is enjoyed by both residents and area visitors. Now looking for a new owner/operator the tavern is currently open for business five evenings a week. It features a large wrap around bar, some small separate dining areas, and a kitchen for preparing the appetizing foods or specials always offered on the menu. The entire bar area was renovated in 2022 and affords an option of either indoor or outdoor seating in the summertime. There is ample off-street parking for customers and its entire upstairs is full of potential. Currently many of the one-time boarding rooms on the second story are used for weekly rentals with access to a washer and dryer area for use by its guests. Many of the original interior design finishes are still in place with second story plank floors, a tin type ceiling and wainscoting in the billiards room, window moldings and cast-iron radiators. With renovation and creativity there is the possibility of conversion of the upstairs to a hostel or transform the bonus space into owner housing.

REAL ESTATE

Becoming a Landlord Creating another revenue stream is not without its challenges As with any other investment, buying a rental property should follow a great amount of due diligence.

You’ll want to discuss your plans with local real estate agents, attorneys and nearby property owners before buying.

Review local laws, past performance with rental income and then do the math.

KNOW THE LAW A variety of laws are in place to govern rental properties, so be prepared to do some legal research. An attorney can tell you more about federal rules regarding anti-discrimination and habitability. Landlords are not allowed to make decisions about renting based on color, race, religion, gender, national origin, disabilities or whether a tenant has children, among other things. Other legal requirements for renting may be in place at the local or state level.

DO THE MATH While rental income can bolster your bottom line, it’s important not to overextend financially. The monthly note paid by renters should ideally exceed what you’re paying in monthly mortgage payments, or it won’t make sense to become a landlord.

Remember to factor in property taxes into your overall calculations, as well as maintenance, insurance and repairs.

Your bank or lender may also have additional requirements before offering a loan. Consult with an accountant or financial planner to learn more about tax benefits associated with being owner and manager of a rental property, including depreciation, mortgage interest and repairs.

FINDING TENANTS Finding the right place and favorable financing is just the beginning of your journey as a landlord. Consider talking to local experts before drawing up your rental agreement to make sure it covers all the bases, including penalties and parameters for early departure, among other key elements. They may be able to make suggestions that you haven’t thought of as a new landlord.

Next, you’ll have to find responsible tenants.

Conduct credit and background checks before signing a

22 - ADIRONDACK LIVING REAL ESTATE GUIDE • JANUARY 2024

©AdobeStock

rental agreement. Ask for references from their place of employment, and previous landlords if possible.

Then meet in person. No approach is foolproof, but these pre-approval activities should give you the best possible sense of who’ll be renting.

Finally, be prepared to keep accurate and consistent records. This is essential for tax purposes, but it will also help you better understand the impact of this secondary income stream. Hire an accountant as needed.
