I do sober living, which is basically co-living with some extra rules and a focus on a specific population. 

Don't think of that 3k extra nut you want as something you get in one fell swoop.

Here's how they work: they advertise a low initial cost of $499 for a 30-yard dumpster, but in the fine print, it says you'll pay extra for any weight over 3000 pounds.As a first-time home renovator, I assumed the 3000 pounds would be more than enough and ended up paying a lot more than I expected.

If you have enough room, it's always great to have one extra amenity that not many other properties offer.

My thoughts from the little I know about the raw numbers however:1) You have no reason to not raise the rent at least a small amount to compensate for the extra cost of ownership the past few years.

But otherwise, a room just needs new sheets (we have extras ready to go) and towels, snacks, and then we quickly wipe and spray everything down, vacuum (doesn't always need it after every single stay) and we are out.

A huge shoutout to our special sponsor, NOVIQ, for making the evening extra special!

Or if there were extra cleaning fees, add that in.  

Sometimes, having a reliable tenant stick around long-term is more valuable than pushing for an extra $100 a month.

extra cash down saves you interest, but costs you the opportunity to make money with those dollars otherwise.
