I like to cook so i do most of the dinners.. and i am a credit card mileage junky for airlines and hotels. so when i get to take two or three international vacations a year they are all free expect for the food. and i go business class and stay at top hotels.. allows you to splurge a little when you in a different country..

Personally I like a hybrid approach where you have a pot of money set aside but also add to that with some portion of your monthly income.

Maybe the BP knows the investors though and knows one can fix it and the other will not ever pull it together.The house has rotten wood, old termite damage, floor falling through, foundation issues, large hole in the roof, but the major issue is it was used to manufacture / cook meth. 

Expect her so be much more sneaky in growing her pot in your house and selling it, and destroying things when things do not go her way.But, hey, selling pot is good business, so she likely will have money to pay her rent.

@Alyssa Paros thank you, yes communication is always the key.I just remember renting an apartment, and the landlord having 3 guys come in during the middle of me cooking dinner and leaving a trail of dirt behind at 8pm. 

I am located in Chicago, where the Cook Country real estate taxes are unbelievably high.

Quick answer to your "Trapped Equity" question: Call Joe Massey, Castle and Cooke Mortgage.

You are beginning to sound like a Poker player that keeps adding chips to a pot, looking at 2 Aces and a King, thinking the odds are with him drawing another Ace. 

For example a dated kitchen with walls yellow from cigarette smoke and a 60 year old oven is fine, a kitchen that you can't cook food in is not fine -- even if it is otherwise modern, new, and clean.
