Tenants rent a small unit from you where they conduct their business which is generally things like make up, hair, waxing, eye brows, tattoo removal etc....

@Caleb RigbyThe meth inspection of every house raised my eyebrows.

In preparation for my one year anniversary, I submitted a flyer to the office about a small event celebrating and offering new services (express facials, derma plane and eyebrow waxing). 

That said, it generally does raise an eyebrow from underwriting and credit.

You'll be in debt up to your eyebrows, but the 2nd investment will double your cash-flow.Now, those are extreme examples.

I got building permits for one of the other houses and it wasn't a problem, but I get the feeling that extra kitchens raise eyebrows. 

If you are going to sell I suggest that you use a tile with an eyebrow this is a great selling point it should be about $300.

I think it would make *me* a little nervous if I were a tenant to write any checks prior to lease signing, but no one has ever raised an eyebrow at all...

Anything else is likely going to raise IRS eyebrows in the unlikely event you are audited.I would guess the answer to the 2nd question is the balance and not the contributed amount.
