I basically take the same approach as any investing - don't sink all your capital into a single trade, know that the game is played in 3D (there is an X, Y, and Z axis - be sure to cover yourself in all directions), and NEVER invest more than you can comfortably afford to loose (this gets even truer as you get closer to retirement, adn a constant struggle as literally every dollar matters)... so back to vetting your sponsors and repeat the process!

Its the stove the city cracks down on, as you can work around this by installing a wet bar which can include a sink and fridge,does not include a stove, built-in microwave, dishwasher, a garbage disposal, or a gas line.With the second kitchen your house would act more like a duplex with two units rather than a house with roommates, in practice the pwnership experience is pretty different when you have a separate entrance and separate dwelling units.
