A part of me wants to do a rent to own and keep it one single family 4/2 house and have the downstairs tenants go upstairs to cook food, and just rent it out for him for market rent which is about $2,400 and then give him his $1,200 plus some extra and keep the rest.

I prefer not to use these at all. but once in a while you get an odiferous guest, even just a strong perfume or curry they cooked..

I attended some classes with Bill and Kim Cook in Cartersville, Ga., and was hooked big time. 

I come over to deliver something to a student from India who has just moved in and I find that he doesn't know about vent hoods and has opened front and balcony doors in 90 degree heat to disperse cooking fumes.

Yup, my South Indian tenant was doing that when he was cooking. 

The odor would be my bigger concern.My nose is forever scarred from renovating a smokers house with 18 years baked into everything inside the house.

My secret is drinking tons of water, drink tons of caffeine, cook your own food, and get at least 6-7hrs of sleep. 

I experienced this once on a business sale (as a buyer) We ended up splitting it (even though the owner was cooking the books and we discovered it, hence the backing out of escrow)

Others will use bathtubs for laundry or for cleaning out cooking equipment because they don't like the size of the sink.Married student housing is notorious for being infested with cockroaches and rodents for a reason, and it's not because the universities don't care. 

I bought this property knowing there was a change for forced appreciation, house was well lived in with smokers for about 20+ years.
