6 unrelated adults in a 2k sq foot 4 bedroom  1.5 🛀 🏡.

I would gladly "option" a building to a tenant that needed work, while I would be fair if there was a problem for you at the end of 12 months there are others that might not be so forgiving... its a contract after all, your an adult and you should understand the risks before you put your money and effort into the deal.

This means there would be a total of 5 kids, 2 adults, and 2 pets in a 1000 square foot home.
