@Daijamonet Cook depends on what your goals are.

Painted the inside, refurbished floors, clean the yard from excess of vegetation What was the outcome?

It's the number if people that drive the showers, laundry, cooking, etc.

I live in the large master bedroom with my own closet and bathroom and really only see my tenants when I cook food.

Didn’t like that the dwellings here weren’t built for cross-ventilation- all cooking aromas seemed to linger around for a while.

You will likely be on the hook for covering hot water and heating for both units as there is no way to accurately separate usage costs- factor that into your calculations and ask the seller for last 12 month’s running expenses to get an idea of what that would cost.If the property has 2 gas meters in place for cooking gas you do have the option of installing a second boiler and hot water heater - if not your first step would be requesting an additional gas meter(assuming your heater and boiler are gas run).

Indoor fun includes cooking, watching sports/movies/adult movies on an HDTV that has a Roku device, taking a nice bath or shower, playing darts/pool/poker/ping-pong, getting beer from a kegorator, a fireplace, etc. 

They didn't clean out their dog's kennel (you can imagine what that looked like) and there were rotting vegetables strewn about all over!

In Anchorage - we have the Chugach Mountains to the east - and Cook Inlet to the west, north, and south really - buildable land is limited.Within two weeks I found a house for sale that caught my eye.
