I think it is just slow for a lot of people right now.I like the nighttime outdoor pictures, the outdoor spaces and games.I don't think I'd list an air matress as a primary sleeping place.

The boiler had an OA alert.I literally had to explain that the boiler was not going to fire off on a100 degree day and "OA" refers to outside air.

Finally he found a floor mat that had migrated over the air return vent on the floor. 

You can make minor adjustments based on the type of appliances (dishwasher, clothes washer and dryer, air conditioning, etc.) and the size of the rental.

I looked at few houses in Bell Air community but I found it difficult to even break even with mortgage.

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.

This would not be my first choice unless you have an air-tight exit strategy that does not rely on a bunch of "maybe's".

I downsized the heating and air system but added a 2nd, separate system. 

The roof was replaced this year and the Central Heat and Air unit was replaced within the last 3 years. 

Renters do not change out air filters!
