I've recently been offered 2BR mezzanine, garden and penthouse opportunities there through RETA. 

He went out for another issue and he said yep, they were using that tub and the stink is because they put organic oils, fresh flowers and leaves, needles in the tub along with apparently oatmeal. 

There’s not many replies about starting fresh out of college.

Perhaps if they were mostly through their lease I would use the opportunity to sign a fresh lease with no increase as the solution and show them they will save $$$ over any planned increase or just give them a week's free rent or something.

@Tim West Yes - exactly my vision would be a different feel - community gardens, laundry facility, perhaps a guest suite that they could rent for overnight guests.

Being able to 1031 it into something larger would pay great dividends down the road, not to mention starting a fresh a depreciation cycle on your tax cycle. 

I have plans for land I want to purchase to build self-sustaining animal sanctuaries with vet services, growing food for them.Also more land to build self-sustaining low income/homeless developments, with career assistance, training, garden including growing vegetables to get them on their feet and possibly into home ownership when they move on if they wish it and they can also pay it forward.

I've seen beautiful houses on google street view, only to get there to find fresh tilled dirt and the neighbor tells me the house burned to the ground 2-3 months ago.   

If that became a problem, maybe I'd offset it by buying a cow or growing a garden. 

We have the house down to studs but are starting to think it may be better to just tear it down and start fresh.
