Funny to think of but no, there's absolutely no way Russ, even if given free money to purchase and own the property, would be able to ever get it running. Like any commercial business, they would need to be able to pass a battery of inspections and this shithole probably needs a lot of renovation before they can pass an inspection for plumbing, electrical, health and safety. He wouldn't know how to apply for any of this, no girl is going to work in a place meeting that criteria, and he'd also need licensing from the county.
I don't know what Humboldt's licensing fees are but: "License fees for brothels range from an annual $100,000 in Storey County to an annual $200,000 in Lander County"
