Just some food for thought, not all notes need to be seasoned.

In terms of revenues, banks only consider 1/2 of rental revenues as income, and since we are supporting a significant mortgage, our DIT is > 50% so we are not able to get a loan.I understand the bank's conservatism, but basically we only have food as living expenses, we own a property that is paying itself and our credit rating is top notch.

I don't feel that it is possible to convince someone else when they feel strongly about a topic and I don't consider my opinion to be better than yours or anyone else's....just spirited debate and food for thought.Regarding the OP, I agree that my opinion there is not supported by the contract (although I don't fully understand the proper interpretation of the clause in question).  

I have white kitchen cabinets and they get food all over them, and dark wood hides flying stains so much better.Comments please!!!

If it's perishable food, you can toss.

As stated above, except for any food or drink you happen to order, there is no charge to attend.

I live with my parents still and so the only expenses I have are my car payment, food, going out, gas, and phone/insurance so I'm thankful that I'm fairly well off to be able to save money.

We always introduce ourselves to direct neighbors and give them a small Whole Foods gift card in advance for them having to deal with the noises or unsightly dumpster, etc. that come with any reno.

Not to say there isn't opportunity for flipping, just food for thought.

From the food industry to healthcare, construction, the list goes on and on.
