Stock the kitchen with all the necessities... enough cookware, crock pot, food processor, blender, all needed utensils, etc etc... anything you think you may need, provide it and it will go a long way with guests, especially in reviews. 

They have to afford their prior lifestyle and the prices necessary to pay everyone $15 for unskilled labor. 15 an hour is minimum wage on the west coast even fast food pays that or higher.

You're talking about actions that can impact putting food on the table and a roof over your head - or not.As the other's have said - you need two need to get on the same about this.  

After screening the tenant. yes they made enough for the rent to only be 40% of the after tax income (not just 3x gross income) their debt payments ate away at the other 60% of income which would mean that when you add utilities, food, misc spending they would be in over their head.

Just thought I'd give you some food for thought.

If you're in the area and wanna grab some food or coffee and talk real estate feel free to contact me.

The instructors all had most recent job experience in retail, fast food, etc. - not a real estate bone in their bodies.Now, UC would be very disappointed to hear a graduate talking down about their CCM program!  

Not to mention a super cool country.. great people food and weather.Any one have the idea to snag one of these then semi retire over here ???

His comment to me after they left was he wondered if they were looking for the food stamp office instead.

Seriously there's some good food for thought in there.
