Sponges and dish soap can be put in a small metal or black wood container to give it substance or removed for photos. 

If you use the search function, there are a number of threads on this.Pros-you can rent by the room and make more moneyCons-students are often less experienced at living on their own and may do things that result in repairs (eg wrong soap in dishwasher), higher turnover, more calls to deal with things, higher chance of parties.If you do it, you may want to get a cleaner in once a week to clean common areas (students clean their own rooms and keep the place tidy, wash their own dishes) and you will need to get someone in to take care of the yard.

It IS fiercely competitive, though- you have to approach it just right, to get the tasty STR cakes. 

I understand everyone's situation is unique and dishing out a couple extra hundred dollars a month on a rental property is certainly not on everyone's agenda or even doable, but I wonder how many others are thinking this way in the short term?

I had friends some years ago that in a condo put in high end appliances, it was a chef and his wife, so think $20,000 stove, sub zero refrigerator and top end dish washer.

If you have this extremely valuable experience already under your belt owning 2 properties, why dish out a potential down payment for property number 3 over to a mentor or coach?

I saw a nugget around SU that I wanted to share with the community to be helpful, so I kept it short and sweet and hopefully tasty for others.

There are also 2 indoor cameras: one in the kitchen to make sure nobody forgets to turn off the gas oven or leave the sink full of dish.

I thought bandwidth had something to do with the internet, rinse and repeat had something to do with dishes, and scale had something to do with fish.  

Usually its lotions but i've also had guests do nasty stuff and or add dish detergent to the hot tub (they said it wasn't clean and thought that might help ha!)
