.- Bike or walk to work- pack lunch and learn to cook.- Read a new business book or equivalent every week for years.- Amass liquidity as rapidly as possible.- Use that liquidity to purchase real estate or take shots at small business entreneurship.To more directly answer your question though, I think that the “live in flip” is one area that seems appealing right now, in Denver.

In our bad tenant cases, there have been multiple lease violations or late payments but we did not boot them for those violations; instead we raised their rent to where they gave us notice.BTW I had a tenant that was surprised I could discriminate against smokers and indicated she would sue.

And if they are smokers who smoke inside, then, no way. 

Different cultures also have different habits: I had tenants from another country, who loved to cook. 

I am still looking for a collections attorney located in Cook County, IL.  

Cook County, Chicago, Rahm Emmanuel , need I say more?

The entire Kenmore oven, burner, and clock suddenly stopped working while the tenants were cooking.

When you need to evict in cook county and it takes 6 months and then tears the place apart. let me know what the ROI looks like.

Smokers are not a protected class, stating no pets doesn't discriminate against anyone and requiring adequate salary to pay the rent isn't a problem either as far as I know since it is not a section 8 property.

This is southwest Cook County suburbs.
