Some would live on beans and rice rather than miss a rent payment. 

So, we plan on little to no unexpected increase in expenses beyond established norms.Thus, when you raise a tenant's rent beyond the usual periodic increase, you're "messing with their rice bowl" in their eyes.

For example "No cooking grease, oil, animal meat bones, pasta, rice, any other substance down the garbage disposals except apple and carrot peels and liquids with no solid matter such as juice and soda" and "no vaping and smoking of any tobacco product, marijuana or any substance" on the property, including the backyard"

Quote from @Matt Rice: I'd agree with most of the comments here suggesting that house-hacking is a great first step into REI!

@Doron Rice this is a common question.

I suppose they serve a purpose for some people for short term, but their solutions are eating beans and rice to survive, throw all of your money to pay down debt, switch to a 1 year fixed mortgage, etc.

The tear-down to build-up action you describe sounds more like Rice Military, or do you mean Independence Heights?

Also, having agriculture such as corn or rice on the property would dramatically improve the hunting.  

@Dreama Rice, so long as the siding is in good condition, don't worry about it.
