"...this post-apocalyptic chic space {in the heart of Oakland's hipster mecca Temescal} has a lot of incredible natural light!".."

We rented three rooms and lived for free, and kept the garage for ourselves (we had a lot of hobbies so having this storage space was a big deal back then).  

So I found a duplex (on market for 82) days listed for $439,000 (1706 SQFT living space, 3920sqft lot, 2BR,1Bath each unit) Lot situated with an express way exit in the back yard...but on a side st.

Actually limited service is preferred today, selling room nights is much more a real estate play than running the business of meeting space/restaurants etc.  

Very relevant as we all do our yearly tax rituals (whatever yours may be)...The Schedule E is not ideal, but for round peg expenses (that are legit "ordinary and necessary" expenses, and the IRS and tax courts have lots of info, be it regs, opinions, and decisions on that) that do not fit in their Schedule E round hole categories, I try good ole' Line 19 and I even write in a couple (be it condo dues or cell phone) that are major contributors to the category in the small space provided.

Thanks for the tip - I've used the feature before but apparently when you back space to change the name it breaks the Java Script(or whatever technique is used) behind it and doesn't look up anymore in Firefox on Mac until you delete the @ sign all together and type it over! 

To use the @ john doe there has to be a space in between the @ and the name then scroll down and there should be a list of names just click the one you want.Nathan

I currently rent a room in a friend's house and living there is becoming a stressful thing for me because I don't have enough space.

Tremendously excited to be here and already immersing myself in the wealth of knowledge within this space.

Many people "jump" into the property management space seek an opportunity after the Great Financial Crisis of 2008.
