How do you prevent or insure against environmental contamination.   

Croix and I also had a brief talk with someone who has been successful with a one bedroom on Air BnB on St.

Unlike Frys who are just dreadful and get into all kinds of strategies to not help customers after sales including the manager or senior member of staff posted at the door to prevent people returning faulty goods.

My and my sister's bedrooms were up in the attic and our walls looked a lot like what you have there @Ryan Richard The entire place is about 1200 sf and had a 2 ton A/C unit in Orlando, FL and that was fine for cooling even in the summer.The upstairs would get a little warm during the day but that was more due to the air return being down stairs and not having enough return air flow from the bedrooms.

Then, somebody that wants to upgrade in the future can easily pull the existing wires out of the conduit, pull thicker wires into the conduit, and install a larger breaker and outlet.The 240 V circuit in the garage may also be interesting for a future tenant that wants to run a welder or a big air compressor in the garage - somebody that likes to work on cars or build things at home.From what I remember in art class, sometimes the kiln runs for several hours. 

To carry the analogy further, fire departments are usually better positioned to engage in various prophylactic measures as well: inspections, prevention, education.  

Weird as it sounds, the only way to prevent him from sliding another partial-payment into my account was to (1) delete his RentShare account AND (2) change the RentShare Landlord username; RentShare is not constructed to thwart nitwits trying to game the system.

I would consider a nonrefundable pet fee to be what it costs to make the home ready for a new tenant (shampoo, repairs, air fresheners, whatever) so since it is the same tenant it really hasn't been needed yet. 

What are the legal issues preventing you from using real estate crowdfunding sites like fundrise.com or ifunding?
