Air Bnb the other side while you and your friend live in one side so you live free, and after a year you can make both sides medium term rentals and buy something else. 

Bro, if you just add a 4 story addition and rent half of it as an air BNB and the other as a LTR you'll be able to cash flow for surePurchase price: 120kRehab: $500ARV: $7.4M

So, keep in mind what a good tenant expects in your area.For example, if you have an existing GAS furnace and central air conditioning already a simple replacement of the gas furnace gets people what is likely to be an economical heat source while also providing a/c which many rentals don't have.

Unless a guest smokes regularly or heavily, our ventilation and air filtration is such that our cleaners have not yet alerted us to undeniable smoking, etc.Would love to hear what others use and their experiences with Minut as well (since in part, I went with Minut based on what I read here about the other alternative- NoiseAware).

My wife, Melissa, and I flip homes in the greater Colorado Springs area.

Anyone interested in starting a meet up / MasterMind in this area?

The average cost for an Air Conditioning Refrigerant Pressure Sensor Replacement is between $270 and $288.

It would also double as my primary residence as I would live there spring and fall. 

We've been searching for a fix-and-flip for some time and found this early spring.

If I was in your position I would look to air bnb or VRBO the property you purchase in San Diego this way you will have less negative cash flow than if you were to rent it out to a long term tenant.
