If you leave the windows bare you'll be cheapening the look on an upper priced unit or opening yourself up to the tenant hanging cheap (paint drop-cloth quality) blinds using the same nails he would use to hang Christmas lights outside, 20 penny nails!

I stopped by the house and found that the tenant had subleased the house without approaval (prohibited in my lease) and has mostly moved out (just a few bags of clothes and random items).

The 1st story has one tenant, a locally owned and operated clothing store under lease through 2019, that caters to the younger college aged crowd that attend the 2 local colleges.

Initially, almost everything went into the Donate and Invest compartments - he decided he wanted to buy a house by the time he was 10 and he was deeply interested in the food-bank and clothing donation boxes at the local supermarket.  

The wiring didn't even have a ground.2 of my houses were built in the early 80s and all used aluminum wiring for the oven and clothes dryer.

Furniture, computer clothes.

Russel, our grandfathers were cut from the same cloth which probably feeds into an investment mindset that leans toward being conservative.  

With your parents down the street, you could just bring your necessary items leaving seasonal clothes storage and other things at their place to limit your items needing storage to free up for the paying roommate.

Jeez, when I think of the countless days my tenants and I spent in 100F Los Angeles heat waves with never any a/c, me just wetting my clothes every half hour or so.
