Since I was a teenager I have had a love for making an outdated home beautiful from my mom (who enlisted me for help due to her lack of eye for design) renovating her home.

Family from Western Kansas: husband, Chiropractor, wife, Director of Operations for a non-profit, 2 teenagers, 1 dog, 1 camper, willing to pay up to $2k.

Luckily we had help from both our fathers- hers a retired carpenter, and my father had worked in construction as a teenager extensively and knew what to do.Here is the original Bathroom- By now we had already removed the plaster from the closet (which was attached to the beam on the left) along with the pink sqaure tiles that were along the base 1/3 of the room.Once we started tearing up everything, here is a progression...Above is my Girlfriend's Dad cutting the joists from the old closet.Once we identified that the studs/joists in the floor were rotten, we scabbed on to the ones that were bad with new 2 x 10 boards and supported them with a crossbeam underneath.

For example, if we have a family with a teenage son with a felony record, we would want to know that.

Too be fair, these are bred for size and only some of the 8 dogs outweigh my teenager.

REI is possible at any age - teenagers have made it work (with the help of an adult partner) and you can't be too old either - but I do think there is an age where the stars align a bit more and it is easier.

My Plan B is to cater to traveling nurses, and my Plan C is to market it with my other rentals...keep the furnishings for my college-aged daughter or teen age son. 

.* You can have terrible neighbors who start a side business selling Meth or, potentially more impactful, have the next door teenager start their own garage band.* If your life circumstances change, e.g. your wages fall and you can’t afford the mortgage, then you’re stuck in the situation until you’re able to sell.* Have you ever seen those scummy “buy your home for cash” ads?

The arena is an indoor sports complex, probably suited for teenagers but anyone can go.

Nope, I do not recommend convincing family or friends, particularly those who don't understand REI, to work with you.Imagine taking a cross-country road trip with a bunch of cranky teenagers, none of whom drive and all of whom are just this minute entering puberty.
