Your in cali, I don't know your ambient temperatures, but if its condensation, check the following:Leaks, cracks, plumbing issues, bathing, cooking, etc.a FLIR camera and a FLIR moisture meter works wonders in tracking down this issue.

Conversely I could just put in mini kitchens without cooking facilities and save the sprinkler cost of $35,000 and approximately $40,000 by installing mini kitchens.This is in walking distance to all amenities and beach activities.

I've heard horror stories of landlords having to pay a tenants electric bill for the year because one light socket ended up under their electrical meter.Further more, the house appears to be heated from one central oil or diesel heater in the basement.Is this a common scenario or does this sound like an expensive disaster?

In that light, we have decided it is necessary to raise the rent on your unit, effective Apr 1, 2014 to $900.00 from $850.00 This is to partly to offset the increasing cost of property taxes, insurance, high heating oil, maintenance costs and upgrades since our purchase of the building in x.Even after this increase, we believe we are still at or below the average market rent for a unit of this type.

You want to try to not have too many places for refrigerant oil to pool up

It's more utility costs, liability (2 vs 1 person), wear and tear, noise, cooks in the kitchen, bathroom sharing, etc. just for the same total rent profit (couples often just pay a little more in utilities, not double the rent).

@Prasanna C.I agree with @Cody Cook that, all else being equal, a traditional single family home will appreciate more than the most closely comparable condo. 

I can offer some great conversation, a good joke, real estate chat/advice, and I’ll cook you (and your household) a great dinner!

I chose to change my life due to losing my job due to the recent low oil prices.
