I speak with various officials, financing pro's, property owners, all the various around R.E. and know the "water-cooler" knowledge which reality is, that's the first to know. - Dissemination.

There is a high cost to renovating a non-restaurant space into a kitchen, especially if you need everything like grills, hood vents, walk-in coolers and grease traps in floors, not to mention the utilities to service all of the above.

Typically an air conditioner can cool 20 degrees cooler than outside.

I'd also remind them of things to do to keep it cooler in the unit (open windows in the evening-if it is safe to do so, and early morning to let in cooler air and let how air out) and keep curtains or blinds closed to avoid sunlight coming into the unit (ie when sun is shining on that part of the building).

If I were your parents, I wouldn't love the idea of you usuing my home to subsidize the bleeding of your bank account, but maybe your parents are cooler than I am!

We have a heated in-ground pool, and that covers pretty much everyone in the cooler months (not many cooler months in central Florida).

@Rahel Ketema Hello.I have experience installing and working with both HVAC & mini-splits.I did a complete gut and rebuild on my 1994 furnace & cooler - all new internals within the existing chassis.I also installed a Daiken mini-split in my THOW/ADU.

-How do you manage thermostat and temp difference between up/down stairs (assume basement will be a lot cooler)? 

Providing beach chairs, umbrellas, and a cooler can enhance the guest experience and contribute to glowing reviews if your property is near the beach.

Like replacing remodeling a restaurant you purchase with new interior, grills, fryers and coolers... you are investing in the long term of your business.
