As far as optimizing your listing on the OTAs, you can also use Jasper or even ChatGPT to write captions for each picture and describe all the furniture, bedding and kitchen utensils/gadgets in detail. 

The furniture and décor in a house speaks volumes about what type of person lives there, and has a huge impact on what types of people apply to become a tenant.

I would absolutely entertain the house hacking idea if not for my wife 2 children.

BTW, he and his roommate were registered sex offenders, with minor children by force, abuse of authority. 

What is the interest rate on that and the furniture payment.

As far as negotiating furniture, I would include “furnishings negotiable” or “comes furnished” in a contract.

The parent choosing to keep the temp at an unsafe temp with children could be a sign of mental health issues and they may need to take the children away to keep them safe.

I want to pay my credit cards off ($15k) and adopt children (estimated to cost $10-15k) My company will reimburse me the adoption fees, but not until it's finalized so I am hoping to do a HELOC so I can re-use that monies later on for bonus items like a pool or something fun for the kids.

But, I am finding I have such an emotional attachment to this house we lived in for 27 years, raised our children.
