The stabilization "won't take six months. "I would be so happy to have the Clintons here," he said. Rix said he would love to be able to give Bill and Hillary Clinton a tour of the house. "Just to simply make the property friendly again, and then being able to properly flip it into tourism, I think it's really exciting to be the person to make that happen," Rix said, noting the effort will take a team to help him. there were so many signs across the front, you didn't even want to drive by and look at it, it was that scary," he said. "For many, many years, it's just had all of these signs, like multiple signs. While the property still has a few signs out front warning people to not trespass, Rix has started removing them, and hopes to make it more approachable. Children can come to the door, they can have a bag lunch here on the property," he said. "It should 100% be a field trip opportunity. In addition to out-of-town tourists, he said he is looking forward to opening the building up to field trips. "I have every intention to open it to tourists so they can actually tour the home." when I get done with it, there's zero reason this property won't live another at least 70-80 years on my watch," Rix said.
Everything that will keep this property alive. "So the property will be stabilized, new roof, new HVAC, all electrical updated. The building will take a few months to get ready to be opened, he said, since this is not a restoration, but a stabilization.

"I want to use this space as a true community space to really boost the community," he said. "This is a very large space, there could be different activities, different group meetings," he said, such as Alcoholics Anonymous. The Hope site is a "very specific, come tour the house, and it's great, but I feel like in the community betterment avenue that I'm trying to do, while, yes, this is the boyhood home, maybe it's appropriate to stage one room," Rix said.

Standing on the second floor of the house, Rix pointed to some of the wallpaper and noted he didn't know if it and the wallboard dates to when the Clintons lived there, but due to the water damage, it would have to go. Rix said water damage and mold have occurred over the years so he will likely not try to restore the building to its original appearance. "I think it's been vacant for maybe even up to three years." "We have tourists that come every day for this and I'm glad to be able to get it opened, stabilized and not a derelict property, and give it the respect it deserves," he said. "To live through the Clinton administration, I'm glad to be able to grab this house, and do a proper hat nod to the Clintons," Rix said. Once the home of a future president, Rix said it has more recently been occupied by homeless people and had begun to deteriorate.
