College English professor and run an after school program for kids. 

Hi all,I have 8 rental properties and will be refinancing them and pulling out cash, but first want to refinance my primary residence in a nontraditional way because I'm transitioning from being a W-2 professor to a self-employed investor. 

In particular, I want to get started renovating homes outside of the Northampton, MA area, where quaint country homes are a prime market for visiting professors and working professionals.

The house is fully furnished and my ideal marketing is towards visiting professors/graduate students/people who are in area for limited time frames. 

First as an elementary teacher and then as an adjunct professor, and just recently took a break from teaching. 

The home is close to SF State, so during the school year I could target a visiting/new Professor's family, a family looking for corporate housing (e.g. for jobs in SSF biotech) or a group of international students who prefer the convenience of a furnished rental.

I have five young children, and I am an adjunct professor.

Today I was at my Business Finance Course and we were talking about TAXES; my professor who shall remain nameless mentioned that "only ~1% of all taxes filed are ever audited" before he said that he was discussing tax deductions and how you can "tax deduct lawyer and attorney fees on business related expenses"(contract, legal and financial advice, etc.) 

For context, this place and the other calc I posted in another thread are in a very desirable, residential area next to an Ivy league school and all the grad school- the tenants (I was one a few years ago) are very high quality, its largely grad school/professor/staff rentals, and the home values historically have been largely immune to changes in the housing market- and probably as such, they've gotten really expensive.

I actually just emailed a professor about this to ask in more detail.I'd echo what a lot of the other two individuals said, especially in regards to the intangible observations.
