The Strength and Desirability of the Local Market
Renters often choose to rent because they have recently relocated, cannot afford a home, or are waiting for market conditions to yield improved terms. Regardless of their "why," the purpose of renting is to reach a temporary agreement to lease a property for a specific set of time. Thus, the very nature...
Owning Rental properties are all about balance. Before undertaking any cost/benefit analysis, a landlord should ensure the well-being of their tenants and the decency of the property they're renting. Once essential human rights are guaranteed, it's time to look into profitability.

Whether part time or full time, the key to maintaining a productive space is nuanced by not being unknown. The mindset behind being productive at home plays a big difference in how you amplify your workflow at your otherwise most relaxing space.

Gardening, especially when food or herbs are involved, can be cost-effective, but can also turn on its head. Yard sales and thrift stores almost always have a small garden section with trowels, pots, watering tools, hand rakes, and more waiting for a lucky buyer to get these essentials for fractions of the retail cost. Don't overspend before you start!

This could be true for paperwork, devices, even desk trinkets that are looking for a permanent home. Clearing flat surfaces allow for more workspace (obviously) but ensuring the most tempting of places to clutter your home turns into one of the most reassuring.
