As per tenant the wrong burner was turned on and a pan of grease left on stove caught on fire.

@Joshua T. in most cases renting out part of a single family to someone else wouldn’t be allowed by town zoning regulations.There’s a limited exception for disabled and senior relatives of the owner, but renting part of a single family out to a stranger Is generally not allowed.It’s possible you could AirBNB a room occasionally but the demand for that in a rural area might be small and you’d want to check with the town building department ahead of time as some towns have regulations regarding that.If you were asking about legally converting a single family to a 2F, that would be an uphill battle and especially in a rural area I would not expect it to succeed.If you were asking about doing it anyway even though it would be an illegal unit, I can think of at least three good reasons not to do that.First, if your tenant every does anything to annoy a neighbor (very common, some would say inevitable), it’s very possible the neighbor will complain to the town.

If there is a shower vs tub are you putting in a fiberglass pan or tile?

@Zac Newell Welcome and good for you for getting back into investing even if the first few didn't pan out the best.

I'm sure everyone knows how that panned out.

I am looking at a similar deal and wondering if yours panned out?  

The best pan handler I ever saw was not one of the sign guys though.At my old office a guy walked in decently dressed and asked to speak to the manager.

I knew that I could either: 1- Sit on the sidelines and wait until everything pans out or 2- Get started in a market, which would require low house prices. #1 is out of the question, as I know unless I do #2, when the time comes and the dust settles, I will not have the experience to realize, or be able to execute upon a great deal.

I also advised them that they can be tax for that amount as a forgiven debt. so lets say everything pans out , and I close the deal, I put in EVERY contract and ALL offers that I'm a NOO real estate investor and my sole purpose for doing this transaction is to make a profit.

The numbers everywhere else don't pan out.
