Definitely doable, unless your $18k is locked up by your employer's plan. 

We are still analyzing markets right now, so are not locked into criteria just yet. 

You can either put a lock on your bedroom and allow your renter to use what you have in the common area or you can move all of your stuff into storage.

It would be one thing if the landlord disclosed that he/she would be placing a surveillance device in a common area for the purposes of security, but I can see why it would bother a tenant (and, quite frankly, the landlord) that one tenant now has surveillance over an area of the premises.

@Winston VargheseFind a Seller able and willing to sell their house for less than market value, Make the offer, lock him up (the seller) on a contract and then flip the contract to a cash buyer, and you get paid an assignment fee, or you can double close (if you can)  or work with an investor and he pays you finders fee.  ..  

Have enough AI to be able to scan through my Guidebook to intuitively answer guest questions (where's the hair dryer, what's the lock combination, what time is checkout)? 

I own and self manage 6 duplexes).Solution:- Keep building the relationship (pick your battles :)- Property Management ($$$)- Lock box for each property (to leave a spare key in), for contractors that you already trust.

On a best case scenario all you'll need to do is keep the basement unfinished (this means no drywall of any kind down there) and use dry lock paint with a dehumidifier.

Hopefully I can generate some sales and lock in a contract or two here shortly.
