The basement bedroom is enclosed with its own interior door so there’s no privacy issue although I’m not interested in section 8 at this time. 

My own observation leads me to believe that a large part of the buyer agent’s time budget gets spent on showing houses and transportation to and from those houses.

However cash is a hard no for me because I feel having it around and transporting it provides a security risk for me.

It is in an enclosed gate area that can only be opened from inside the fence so I'm leaning away from using it as storage space while I have other guests staying there.

I am confident that “Drill Baby Drill” (aka reducing the price of oil, aka reducing everything that is transported) will directly impact the cost of goods thus increasing tenants and buyers purchasing power.

Other large employers are health, education, as well as transportation and warehousing. 

We can transmit electricity reasonably efficiently, and then we can transport actual material (ie: water or natural gas) reasonably efficiently. 

If your property is up to par you won't really have many maintenance calls except minor stuff such as plumbing clogs which is more likely to happen and requests to turn the AC up or down which you can do on your phone but other than that pretty hands off.Vacancy depends on location and your Padsplit property score the more comfortable you make your property (mini fridges, tv's, outdoor area) the lower your vacancy rate but you can expect about 10% vacancy factor in a Padsplit friendly area (centrally located, easy access to public transportation).

((Basically a "Loft" layout, but enclosing half the upstairs -to be a more private upstairs bedroom with it's own toilet & sink))....

It's a total scam and I've just wasted 800$ + accomodation and transportation and valuable time for the 3 days seminar...
