I have family in Raleigh, so I’m a little familiar with your neck of the woods.

My neighbors for example don't have pins in there lips or "my babies daddies", name tattooed across there neck" covering track marks.

At the time I did it I didn't know it was called house hacking, I thought it was just called figuring out how to pay the mortgage :-)I bought a nice cape in SE CT during the GFC while working for a major employer in that neck of the woods.

Big burly guys that chew tobacco in their sleep and have neck tats.

I can't imagine the muscle power required to get that level of deep scratches.  

At the same time, property prices are pretty high up there and you're not the first one to consider this neck of the woods.Cody does really well May - September but then slows in the winter.

Determine what premiums you will charge a tenant for such an animal in terms of additional monthly rent, security deposit, lease commitment, as well as renters insurance as my friend @Derek W mentions.I've made way more money by solving others' problems than by getting into arguments about why someone's (arsonist) kid is really just misguided or that their dog is normally a sweetheart (as I apply tourniquet pressure to my bleeding calf muscle with fang marks).I'm still trying to make Cesar Millan's 'shsshtt' technique work on my unruly probate clients!

While they would have to be able to bath, dress, feed themselves, there is often a level of monitoring required by a certain level of health care professional (often at the nursing assistant level stage) to be present much of the time.It can be financially rewarding for the person running such a program; the veterans themselves in my neck of the woods will often pay upwards of $800 to $1200 each for their room and board (still less expensive than their next step which would be a nursing home facility) but the VA does require regular monitoring of these type of facilities.Gail (who works in a VA Medical facility)

You are right in my neck of the woods.  

one off person they never heard of they are NOT going to stick their neck out.. not worth it.
