They have a beautiful high end commercial kitchen (available to all tenants) where a Chef regularly holds gourmet cooking classes for women who 'usually only make reservations for dinner', (her words).The open house they had was so well attended they had a shuttle running from an offsite parking lot.

I was unable to cook anything for my family for fear of cross contamination without hot water.

@Raeshelle Cooke HUH?

I tell them to go stay in a frickin motel where they can't cook, can't do laundry, and pay more money. 

say for instance i'm a fry cook making $10 an hour (cause i'm THAT good at not burning the fries and i've finally perfected the quantity of salt to use per package of fries).

Pulled up rentals in the area: $720 - $834 range for 850 sq ft. assuming $750 rent.( $750 x 12 ) / $49,000 = 18.4 cap rate [ uh ROIL ]NOW I'M COOKING WITH BACON?

perspective.Anywho:I've done two deals in the last year or so where folks spent months and months messing around with NACA just to get ready to house hunt, got sick of it, walked in my door, preapproved next day, in contract soon after.I can't speak to what they DID do, only to what they did NOT do... which was get those well qualified homebuyers out there to buy homes.That being said: if a homebuyer is eight months away from being ready and has time to blow... go for it, see if you like the smell of what they're cooking.

Gas Calculation Per Month Subtotal $ 170.00 $ 510.00 ← 3 month gas heating for winter cold season $ 100.00 $ 300.00 ←3 month gas heating for mid cold season $ 20.00 $ 60.00 ←3 month gas heating mild season $ 15.00 $ 1,260.00 ← cost for hot water consumption (showers, cooking) (Per Month *12 * number of units) $ 2,130.00 <-total gas cost per year Question 2: For electricity, I want the unit to pay for it.

I just started to watch U tube in the last 6 to 8 months primarily for cooking recipes  and Aviation related episodes,  in northern CA there is Juan Browne and his Bloncolori channel I like him a lot.

I am slightly under $10/sf for those, but if you add sheets, towels, decorations, cooking utensils, patio furniture, BBQ, security etc I am probably  at another $4K for a 1100 SF 2/1.
