Mike - I do have a photo showing the closet walls and floor lined with plastic, grow lights, thermometer mounted to the wall, etc.

Fast forward about two months in, the evaporative cooler is replaced with two window mount air conditioners and our electric bill nearly doubles. 

So as a fairly new investor I was hoping for seasoned investors who know their region/ city to provide either steps or things they suggest you look into before investing in a city. for example:make sure the employment rate is increasing/ comparing its increase to the stae/provinceMake sure vacancy rate is decreasingensure there is more then 1 major economic contributor to the city eg detroit was motor town then went bankrupt once recession hit. 

I cannot enter the car auction site all of the dealers use because I do not have a license to sell motor vehicles.

I've "put boxes on the wall" including mounting / leveling ledger boards, etc.

If they feel insecure you could add another type of lock, like a sliding bolt that mounts on the surface and slides into a hole drilled in the jamb.

Well, you've got cabinets mounted on the floor and ... no wait - the pictures are in the wrong orientation.

I currently work for SEPTA in Philadelphia as a welder/fabricator and while it's a great job I don't wish to see my life gone before I am able to live it, I'm sure you all know the deal with that.I build motorized drift trikes in my off-time (Google them if you're curious) and they're tons of fun.
