No one likes a roommate who leaves their dishes around.

That spore dish looked a lot like another pic from Google.

I would not go to France or Italy to eat hamburgers, I would go to taste the best wines, Spanish Iberian serrano ham, the best French dishes, pastas and the best cheeses in the world.

Address shared space, private space, quiet hours, guests, animals, laundry, refrigerator, dirty dishes in the sink, noise, odors, and more.

If someone reading this thread is looking for a house to rent to me, and gives it to me in return she can dish, I can pay above market rent.

Sponges and dish soap can be put in a small metal or black wood container to give it substance or removed for photos. 

If you turn the display to the Satellite display, those many hundreds of purple dots are spread out amongst literally 100,000s of homes in the area.

If you use the search function, there are a number of threads on this.Pros-you can rent by the room and make more moneyCons-students are often less experienced at living on their own and may do things that result in repairs (eg wrong soap in dishwasher), higher turnover, more calls to deal with things, higher chance of parties.If you do it, you may want to get a cleaner in once a week to clean common areas (students clean their own rooms and keep the place tidy, wash their own dishes) and you will need to get someone in to take care of the yard.

I understand everyone's situation is unique and dishing out a couple extra hundred dollars a month on a rental property is certainly not on everyone's agenda or even doable, but I wonder how many others are thinking this way in the short term?

I had friends some years ago that in a condo put in high end appliances, it was a chef and his wife, so think $20,000 stove, sub zero refrigerator and top end dish washer.
