Providing "significant services", which includes providing meals, will move you into a more active situation vs passive.

Reach out to me and maybe we can grab a meal and grow each other's knowledge, best of luck to you brother!

@Nathanael Tinaya Try to rent individual bed/baths as STR or see if city allows boarding houses or traditional bread & breakfast setup.Either way, you will need dependable person to provide cleaning and if boarding house maybe one complimentary meal a day.

The need has been brought forward that they would like "home cooked meals" and my mother happens to love cooking.

And if you are in a student-y area there isn't a grad student alive who wouldn't jump at this.This stuff and a pot rack can get you a kitchenette where anyone can make a complete 4 person meal.

@Levi GiafaglioneYou want to plan your travel accordingly.If you plan it property, the air flight, hotel, certain meals and certain local travel(Uber / Taxi) can become deductible.Be mindful that Ohio is a very unique state because many localities have their own separate filing obligations.I.E.

In the thought of if I could have my living experience be whatever I wanted...what would it look like.I came up with this list: Barber shop / Salon pallor, Car wash center, neighborhood grocery story (with good produce, beer/wine, premade but fresh over ready meals, and all my hygiene needs, on site bar or restaurant, community gathering area, a co-working space with small offices I could rent if need but a shared space also, a lap swimming pool, a real deal gym (not a hotel gym), sauna, on site laundry service (offered at a premium), and on site cleaning crew (additional cost of course) to clean my place.All of these things would be set up as additional sources of revenue for the apartment some that are directly operated others that just lease out space (like the salon parlor or something)Structurally it could look something like this: Sub basement: Lap pool / locker rooms / saunaBasement: Full real deal gym (anytime fitness level type) - could be directly operated or space leasedFirst floor: The amenities floor - could be directly operated or space leased2nd or third floor: Shared co-working space (residents get a discount and are priortized but its still open to the public for a cost)All floors above are living space.Has anyone ever though of this before?

Eat their meals there?

Brand new tenants (a few months or less) don't get a gift card from me but tenants who have been there for the latter part of a year or longer (and have shown they're a drama-free tenant who pays on time and doesn't incur me unnecessary costs such as a high water bill due to an unreported running toilet) receives a gift card that can be used at several local restaurants along with a Karl-approved Christmas card :-).It's a small token to show I appreciate them and I like the fact they can enjoy a meal out and have a nice time at no cost to them.
