She was house hacking a single family home with a handful of roommates in Tempe, AZ.Well somebody else at the table (we can call her Karen for the sake of the conversation) was VERY offended about this "house hacking" strategy that she hadn't ever heard of.

I like to have mid-term renters during my slow season; less work, more stable revenue & I don't have to worry about a vacant property during freezing temps. 

However, going shoeless is not in the American culture and such will not be seen as you or I may understand it.I saw later, the reason is to avoid detection of the flooring not being compliant, maybe rugs will work for you.Maybe if you have a fine, as I mentioned above applied to neighbor complaints, then just inform them that walking with heavy shoes on the flooring may cause noise on the ceiling below, may be the tenants will get the idea to walk quietly, might remind tem too that floor speakers with the stereo (if people still use them as I do) will also be an issue with that flooring.Just suggesting other ways to get the message across rather than imposing on them about shoes being worn.

Account ClosedWith zero temps, frozen water pipes, furnaces that decide to quit, and leaking roofs, there are days where I wish that I had 5 or 6 SFH rentals.

RECORD COLD Temps below ZERO TIP: How to keep your pipes from freezingTurn on faucets allowing them to run a faster than a drip.. a very slow stream -, BOTH Hot and Cold,OPEN The Cabinet Doors BELOW All of your sinks, kitchen, bathrooms, etc.Turn up your thermostat now to get a head start before below zero temps arrive.Laundry Room - Washer, dryer - if your washer and dryer is against an outside wall, please unscrew you hot and cold water hoses from your washer and place them in your washer (the same place you place clothes) and let the hoses just dangle in there.

On most days during winter, the room temperature is only about 10 degree higher than outside temp if there is no heat turned on.

Staying in temp housing until we find something.

they can be set to one temp and on timers, correct?
