In my last apartment we had a brand new, never been used oven and we would preheat the oven, open the door to put food in and the smoke detector would go off! 

From my work in the food insecurity space, I know that this is pretty disappointing to a lot of folks.

I was thinking that I could try to close a deal on the property myself and then I could close a deal with the cash buyer I had lined up since she is a flipper but the seller's listing agent seemed like they are just adamant on having buyers come view the place and then just proceed with the auction and cater to the highest bidder.Speaking of encumbrances, how would I find out about non-paid arrears and things like that? 

There’s whole communities that cater to STR. 

I've thought of getting a roomate to rent my one bedroom, and Me just sleeping in my car, only going in for food or shower. 

There will ALWAYS be wolves coming for your food, Buyers in this case...If they understand the you do good, fast and profitable business, That YOU make them consistent money, they will learn YOUR value and thus, turn down alot of the sort term, flashy money.....

It's free, and folks can get a drink or food if they want.

Ask the emergency contact on the lease who to give them to, and if there are any pets in the unit make sure they have (water) and food, and ask the contact what to do with the pets.

Food demand is always increasing and our fertile soils are eroding. 

Northside/Camp Washington are both good areas to start.... many manufacturing jobs to cater to... plus Northside is one of the cooler/more underrated neighborhoods in our city.
