My recommendation would be something for the home, such as a candle or soap/lotion combo for the kitchen.

People will put candles or some sort of decoration in there - it still maintains it's role as a focal point without the issues connected to a wood burning fireplace: dirt from the wood carried in, smoke, smell, chimney service issues etc.

Also, at some point you will start burning the candle at both ends if you have a full/part time job and your investing career.Hope this helps :)

It doesn't smell as bad, so people are tricked into thinking it is harmless.I don't even allow candles in rental properties.

They are only strict when you get audited.You are really trying to to ride a fine line of burning your candle at both ends.

Dear BP's,I just had a meeting with an owner of this 1925 House in a Hippie Area of LA.Musicians, actors, artists, love the vibe of this house.It's a 2/1 with a backyard, pool, unpermitted guest house/studio/garage with bathroom.I'm thinking about making an offer for about $700k.With a $50k rehab to basically update plumbing, kitchen, bathroom, and landscaping, the ARV would be around $850k to $900k.But, once it's a desirable architecture, and area, kind of a 'historic', and getting a $6,600 rent, should my ARV to be higher?

We have seen tenants without electricity do crazy things, like: use candles for light (resulting in burns to kitchen cabinets, candle wax in carpet, and removal of beeping smoke alarms); run an extension cord from a neighbor's patio to a power strip in which they plugged in more extension cords to lamps, the refrigerator and the gas stove (for the digital display).

I want to be a pro soccer player, but I'm in my 30s and couldn't even hold a candle to semi-pro players.

Unless they have pets, burn candles, or smoke in the apartment.

Portland had this hippie mayor that was helping the town move in interesting directions.
