I've seen so many investors in my area start their own meetups... anything from breakfast meetups, lunch at a local restaurant, grilling out/firepit in someone's backyard, etc.

And you have to work hard at making the home a destination in and of itself (ex: hot tub, outdoor lighting, heat umbrella, fire pit with wood, grill, sauna, games, arcades, books, great cookware, etc.).

. $95 to be able to grill a hamburger?

Quick Question:  Do you all allow grills at your SFR rentals? 

Then use Pinterest for ideas on the looks of ideas of fire pits, grills, picnic table(s), games (horseshoes, volleyball, etc)...

Adding some artwork to help give the place more character - $100-200 on Etsy or Society6 can get you some really unique prints that will help your apartments show well in listing pics and really set them apart from the competition.If you have the space outdoors, the quickest and easiest amenities to add are a fire pit and BBQ grill (or maybe a patio as well, if you're so inclined). 

A George Foreman grill a family pack of chicken breast and frozen vegetables go a long way. it has to become a priority that you are willing to forgo convienances for.

I’m also in Buffalo and would suggest you come check out our monthly meetups, second Wednesday of the month, downtown at Pearl Street Grill. 6pm.

My fear now is that by posting it on Airbnb I put it out for the world and I believe technically it can’t be rented separately but zoning said they would just tell her I have a permit pulled or it was just people who are renting my other place on the same lot so basically really no way to prove it.I was thinking instead of a kitchen is just rent it out 3-4 months a year with an outdoor flattop grill on the patio a nice seating area and maybe an outdoor sink.

Just had one complain that they couldn't get the grill going ( a brand new Webber).
