Even with a shared bathroom and living room, your place is likely much nicer than the average extend-stay motel, so if your rents are competitive, then you can likely serve this avatar.You may find that a 5/2 is an acceptable temporary housing solution for a family displaced after an insurable loss (fire, flood, etc.).

If the rents and upkeep are really as unreasonable as you claim there should be other cheaper and better solutions nearby. 

I like fitness and health and just like those two things, real estate investing is NOT a "one size fits all" solution.  

When the builder hands us the property and it is our responsibility to customize the interior build out.

As you all know, Pricelabs has customization that can be set with base rates based on seasonality. 

Working with the city to find a solution.

I think making it more generic and less custom is the safer bet.

They look for open layouts, kid-friendly amenities, and smart storage solutions.

Financial Freedom Network I laughed at -- after reading the agreement, no comparable value for that monthly price -- 3 or so years ago, if value has changed now, my time-based disclaimer is as aforementioned -- and Legrand would do well to disconnect FFN from his name, as I believe FFN is now out-sourced, whatever.I empathize with you , Joe and the other responders, but when I read Legrand’s, and most of the other guru’s, contracts prior to trying a teaser product, it clearly stated in the agreement that if customer did not want the upgrade service for which the teaser/free product, free video, whatever, was being given away, then customer must cancel within the stated period of time, which almost always range from 30 to 90 days [60 days is becoming more common, as more folks forget to cancel]So long as terms to cancel are clearly stated prior to contracting, I don’t find it unethical, -- and real estate gurus have merely adapted a teaser or rebate marketing technique used in most every industry -- recently even Chrysler cars [try our minivan for 60 days!

Another is they customize the property to their liking only.
