Much more cost effective, more units, less maintenance, no toilets or showers to deal with.  

But they leave out the risks they took and times things didn't work out well.Most people started with something they lived in just so they can lower their living expenses and save more money, rent out the rooms or the other unit so your paying allot less in rent and mortgage.Allot of people did the toilet replacements and maintenance themselves in the beginning because they didn't have the money to pay someone else.So find a decent deal and buy it, just get started.It's easy to see people who are at the mountain top or clearly letting their snowball roll down that hill and miss the decade(s) of wading through the swap to get there.All you can do is learn as much as you can from them and just try to roll your snowball a little further up the hill.

Hello,I'm looking for toilet recommendations to use in a rental house.Since I'm responsible for paying for the water, I would like something with a low water usage that still gets the job done effectively, and has as few issues as possible.What brand/model would you guys recommend?

Most times the water usage drop is significant and the residents are much more likely to notify you when they have a leaking toilet etc.We've also found that the expenses for the material and install is often recovered within two years or less.Sometimes we need to reduce the rent by $20-30 less than what we would otherwise be able to rent it for, but in some cases, it doesn’t affect the rent at all.

Oakland has always been a higher cap rate for many decades as significantly more risks (gangs, break ins, graffiti), tenants squatting, vandalism.

When you say no more than $2500 to rehab a bathroom, do yo mean toilets, vanity, and flooring too?

After 30 years I'm over tenants and toilets. 

Forget the surround, what is a dehumidifier doing operating on top of the toilet:) Then they stuffed some tiny cabinet and tiled on top of it and put it directly in front of the already small space in front of the toilet?
