My goal this year is to add another another income stream in a different business, currently at "shaking out the couch cushions for money" stage.

Even a bed or couch here and there could help.

Her argument is that we would have been sitting on the couch watching Netflix if we didn't have this house to work on and we should estimate our repair cost at $27,000, thus feeling like we made more profit.Who wins this argument?

And, what tenant wouldn't move a couch across a room if it's sitting on an inch of water?

Even now, 1 full week into school, we have students who are essentially homeless just couch surfing at friends places, waiting for a room.Speaking with my international student tenants, they said its partly due to the USA with Donald Trump making it very difficult to apply for VISAs, so the people who would have normally gone to the states are coming to Canada instead.

When the worker entered the living room, there was a body on the couch that was dead and bloated.

Bang gavel, drop mic.

Jail, rehab, couch surfing, evicted, does not matter, they need to provide the information to you. 

However, I think the question has been couched as an "either, or" which limits the range of thinking from both the inquiry and response side. 

Same with family room couches and tables.
