Apartments- New kitchen layout, moved laundry into each unit, updated bathrooms, new windows (curb appeal), updated paint and flooring, turned the laundry room into the 12 unit.AirBNB- changed usage on the main level from office to 2 unit AirBNB.Office building- removed drop ceilings to add 3 foot ceiling height to make the space seem larger with more natural light.

Traveling professors, students, parents, nurses, patients, patient families all have a need for short term furnished rentals.

The fact that they have to pay for gas to heat up the water helps stop over usage.

Most anyone can pick a paint color and some wood floors...I’m talking about someone who can look at an existing floor plan and completely reconfigure the space while keeping codes, traffic flow, space usage, etc in mind.

Short term rentals are not allowed in Thornton (except rooms within your primary) but you might be able to get your premium by renting as a furnished rental to traveling nurses (as long as the lease term is over 30 days as per Thornton STR regulations) or some other similar "outside the box" strategy.

i travel quite often for work, and due to the nature of my work i don't have to be in any specific part of town.

They keep people from doing it by watching water usage.

More importantly, you will have very little guidance from the custodian when it comes to the usage of your plan. 

Maybe write it up where if it extends past 45 days, an additional fee of $25/month/person will be added to the rent to account for extra water usage, wear and tear, etc.

My understanding is the primary usage of the license is for the leasing tasks more so than managing the facilities.
