@Jaron Walling, Thanks for that shout out. 

Some of your other posts are pretty solid, but you need to get some help or take down the photos of me on your wall.

Burlap on the wall, postage stamp rug for a large living room, hodgepodge of items around the house with no real theme.

I will likely be challenged to get a 1 to 1 return on adding the AC, adding an EV charger, converting a sound studio to an office, and furnishings.

The rental had ratty furniture, a record player prominently featured in the marketing but it had no speakers, missing basics items in the kitchen, lots of drunks in the concrete hallways that reverberated right into the bedroom at 2am, a strong odor of urine outside, and more.We have super hosts in this forum that have hundreds of 5-star reviews and are masters of the craft, but I look at their rentals and see they don't have any artwork on the walls, decor is basic, they do nothing to make the guest feel welcome, etc. 

Add a couple of chargers, no problem. 

Laundry room wall painted black is odd.

It had some good architectural features that people loved, and the original plaster walls downstairs were in great condition, not even cracked.

In our student houses we use a programmable thermostat, but our building monitoring system has its own sensors and can override the wall thermostat and will not allow the temperature to get below 10C (50F) ... we are presently testing a new software load that will also prevent them from cooling the house too far in the summer.
