There are some truly stunning casitas in newer builds that would be great for short or longer term tenants. 

As far as restaurants, dining and other activities.

@Amy Beth My injury last year was my big wake up call for a complete makeover for our finances.It has changed our spending habits so much and up to this point even if I'm back to work full time I intentionally decided not to do any overtime yet..I would like to train myself and my family to get used to living within our means.No big trips (we had 2 out of the country holidays last year),no dining out and less online shopping.Everything happened for a reason and I believe that the injury had happened as an eye opener for us.

I'm stunned that a random letter that says "I want to buy your property" has a success rate better than 0

I just looked up that website along with the design floor plan, stunning lay out.

It is stunning what she can do to a boring space. 

Thank you, MattWhat are the typical room rental rates for the size of bedrooms AND the living room and or dining room in that area? 

As living and dining and rec rooms are typically quite a bit larger than the bedrooms and the master bedroom is as well these rooms could be around $700 each. 

You look at the layout and convert the living room, dining room and laundry room into rental rooms as they all have opening windows. 

Say you take your typical 3 br medium sized house that would typically rent for about $1500 and because of room conversion (like converting the living room/dining room/rec room/laundry room/den/etc) you now have a 6 br house and you're now getting double that and have months of proof of that.
