When it's 5 below zero with windchill factors of -30, we go make sure each rental's pipe wraps are working right and everything is well insulated and do welfare checks to make sure everyone is warm and has food and water.

A silent expectation is that we will order drinks and/or food from the establishment.If everything works out, we can make this a monthly affair.

Anyways comparing to Wichita which is where all my experience lies - Topeka seems to be very transient - lots of people here for short stints - AirBnB was very competitive and I think a few folks were making money there - same thing would be difficult to get it to work in Wichita - quality rentals are far and few between - Our experience looking at the rental market here was from Sept 17 to about July 18 of this year - as we just weren't sure if we'd be able to buy the house we were living in or wanted to buy it etc so we kept looking the entire time for places to buy/rent.Another food for thought is property prices are far higher in Topeka than Wichita and property taxes run about 30-40% if not more than Wichita. 

Yowch.My property is a 1/1 in a quiet building in West Hollywood--a few blocks from Runyon Canyon, Whole Foods, any kind of food you can dream of, Ralph's, etc.

as a General rule and I STOLE this from Chris Clothier but he makes some great point about gross rents.a 600 dollar tenant needs 3x to qualify  that's 1800 a month - 600 ( rent) - 200 utls = no more than 1000 a month to live on.. cutting it pretty close probably has little to no savings and stability could be a challengeNow lets look at a 1200 dollar rent.. 3X  3600 a month - 1200 = 2400 - 200 = 2200 a month  over double the amount of money to live on per month .. gas is the same food is the same .. cell phone is the same so who is more stable.. ???? 

GREAT building one block from Whole Foods and Union Station. 

(C) A food preparation counter and storage cabinets that are of reasonable size in relation to the size of the junior accessory dwelling unit.B is worded weird, but looks like a gas stove is not required to qualify for JADU.

We have a stand alone building in the Phoenix area, currently occupied by a national fast food chain but they are leaving this summer so we will have to find a new tenant.

They share a house, food, bills, etc.

@Amalfi Duran from their point of view it could be quite uncomfortable to be without a bathroom, why don’t you offer them hotel stay and food for a few days until you get the bathroom done.
