Hopefully Title III and all the fuss about intrastate exemptions will make the concept more of a household name.California has some special Rule 147 type exemptions and many other states have various other instrastate exemptions.  

This is off topic, but for perspective: $2500+/month after tax, plus the value of a rent-free/mortgage-free house, is getting close to the median USA household income after tax.

If it matters, these are not low income tenants..household income about six figures.

I was surprised to find that the annual household income in 93551 and 93536 exceeds many parts of LA. 

I can look at this two ways - - 1) Having a dishwasher may open my tenant field and reduce vacancy time. 2) People that knowingly rent a property without a dishwasher are willing to do dishes, and therefore likely willing to do regular household maintenance?

What Is The Size Of The Market Opportunity The household income for 20% of all Americans is under $20,000.

Household income for these individuals are $100k+ even with one salary.

And as the average household has become more and more comfortable with the Netflix medium, this was certainly the death knell for Blockbuster.

That said, if the bank has capped you at 100K mortgage - which won't buy a pretzel stand in TO - you need to check your debt to income {some banks will use DTI calculations similar to the US, others may also look at the "total household after-tax income to household debt" ratio}.

But a 4BDR household usually needs outdoor storage.
