People had them behind picture frames on the walls above beds, in alarm clocks next to beds, in the mattresses, and bed frames, he took off outlet covers so he could treat those areas, and down in the baseboard trim we took off that, to get behind.. we finally took up the carpet & pad, they were embedded in the wood carpet tack strips, we took that up .. so the bad unit was treated, and re treated,  and we didn't rerent that for 2 months.

Jeff I grew up in Cupertino  and when houses went to 100k in the late 70s   that is exactly what people said god help our children they will never be able to afford to live here.. and so It was I had to buy my first house in Milpitas for 79k... it certainly all seems to cycle go up then flatten then retreat a little then make new highs...

The bummer is our intention when we bought this house was to use it for weekend retreat and then do a major renovation and addition to bring it up to date.

The disposition frees up both the capital loss carryover and the suspended passive losses. ( Sorry if this sound complicated, your CPA will understand if you hint this) S-crop can rent home form the owner and not report income but still get a deduction for the business:If the home is rented ( for meetings or retreat, or holiday party) less than 15 days a year, the owner can exclude the rent payments from the income.

It is harder to find larger properties for groups that want to rent for weddings, corporate retreats, family reunions, etc. and the size of the house has made it very popular.

Discounted fitness membership" - {for our non-student tenants (students have access to the services on campus for free)} We've partnered with a local pilates/yoga studio and gymnasium to provide our tenants with a free trial package and discount on a subsequent membership.

We both fall down at the same time, scramble up back to our feet and retreat to where we can both figure out wtf just happened.

Your zen based yoga instructor who meditates 9 hours a day before reaching an enlightenment level appropriate to buy their $12 latte won’t fit well with a frat party in the other unit.

That's still conservative as we should be able to get to 70% occupancy with social media, new website, reaching out to travel agents, wedding planners, retreat organizers, etc.

Make it a cool little city retreat.
