    I haven't made weed butter, but id imagine it should keep for a really long time if there's a layer of endistrubed butter on top. Covering stuff in fat is an age old method of preservation.

    I make it in the pressure cooker so I'm pretty confident about cooking out the pathogens

      That type of value increase is pretty rare, and by no means guaranteed. And even if it's true, you could make even more money still by tenanting the property.

        Make weed butter and leave it in the freezer. Use it to make mind blowing edibles whenever you want. Keeps for about a year.

        Butter kept in the freezer can be kept indefinitely.

                  Yeah, apparently, when they are using this real page software, they are able to figure out how much they can charge for an apartment and how many apartments they can leave vacant before dropping their prices, and as long as the software says they'll make more money doing something one way, then that's what they're going to do.

                  I know they use software to figure out optimal rent, I just wonder how sophisticated the algorithm is. It might just use industry statistics and simple arithmetic to determine how many people will move out if rent is raised a by a certain amount, how much this will increase revenue, and how much the additional vacancies will reduce revenue. Finding the sweet spot wouldn't be hard at all. But this isn't worth much unless it also takes into account the costs of vandalism, evicting squatters, and whatever else might be involved.

                    Replace two of the bags with oregano and tip off the police. The police report x kg of weed seized instead of x-½ because they want to look good. Dealers believe all is accounted for and you have 2 whole 9 bars to enjoy at your leisure.

                      Sorta. Anything fatty tends to pick up flavors from the environment. Now, in the cold, those chemical reactions are slowed down, but they're not stopped. If you leave it there for a while, it'll pick up off flavors. Still generally safe to eat, but you won't like it.

                          How airtight is airtight? Cheap Ziploc bags or Tupperware won't be enough in the long run. Maybe if you used a pressure sealed preservatives jar. Those will need to be heated up in a pressure cooker, so butter will melt and reconstitute.

                                  I know i am going to be down voted but here goes.

                                  You didn't want to sell your home to a family who could have really used it, instead you wanted to keep it and make money off someone for 7 whole years.

                                  You are keeping property you don't need whilst talking about how you help people to get their own home, seems like a poor justification to me.

                                  This feels like a win win? If we had sold, it’d probably be an AirBnB now. How does this make me shit?

                                  You don't know that it would have become an air bnb, you are just using whataboutism to make yourself look better by comparison. And if it did that's not on you, but trying to justify renting additional properties by saying you "saved it" from becoming an air bnb instead is so shitty. Like wow you saved the house from being used in that way here is your rental payment.

                                  You aren't saving people money by taking rental payments, you aren't a hero for potentially stopping someone from using the property as an airbnb, you are a landlord.

                                  They didn't know that it would probably become an airbnb, but the likelihood of such a place becoming one or being bought by somebody else wanting to charge higher rents isn't exactly low either.

                                  The whole "market rates" thing is used by corporate landlords to increase prices, and controlling available properties - including by leaving vacancies - is one way that do that. By the same token, charging below "market rates" could also help of enough did it, especially if the places are decent and money re-invested in proper upkeep. Many/most though are not even investing in proper maintenance/repairs while charging over an above the cost of entire mortgages, which IMO is just greedy bullshit

                                      Because the last tenant put holes in the walls, their dog's piss caused the floor to lift, and the shower they plugged then overflowed fucked up the bathroom?

                                      So there are repairs to do in order to make the place livable and then time to find somebody else who won't just wreck the place again?

                                      Yeah there are lots of shit landlords but one of the continuing factors is the remaining good ones with a basement suite etc bailed after terrible tenants.

                                      A vacancy tax is a good idea but there needs to be caveats for timelines especially if stuff like reasonable maintenance/repairs is taken into consideration.

                                      Ironically my friends who bitched about "shit landlords" also happened to be the drinkin' smokin' big-dog-ownin' types who were the worst type of tenants and ruined shit for everyone else

                                      There needs to be a distinction made between somebody renting out their downstairs to make ends meet vs. those people who buy up dozens of houses.

                                        Oh no, instead of getting money for doing nothing you will get money for paying someone to do a cosmetic repair once every several years. Should I feel sorry for you? I entered a landlord mode so I forgot what empathy is, so I need help here.

                                        There's cosmetic repairs and then there's "making the place fit for Guinean habitation" repairs.

                                        Now granted I'm a bit older and not renting now (and not a landlord, though I did share in my first place when I was a younger), but in that time a lot of better available places were people who'd bought a home, had kids, then had said kids grow up and move out.
                                        Given the free space but still wanting to keep with the family home they'd invested half their lives in, they'd rent out a basement suite or whatever (generally for a reasonable rate, at least compared to other places or the shit-show we see today).
                                        Some didn't need the money, others found that rising property values also came with a rise in taxes and repair costs. Most were still not assholes though so if the stove or heating broke down they'd actually get a repair guy in fairly quickly or replace said appliance (often with a used but functional one).

                                        Those are what you'd call the "mom and pop" landlords and they were a lot more prevalent. By the same token though, they weren't making a lot - hell some were less interested in rents than not having an empty-feeling house - and all it took was one bad tenant to make it not worthwhile. It doesn't take much either. Water damage and/or mould abatement, a kitchen fire, pet/drugs/smoking damage etc can all add up pretty quickly especially if they're hiring somebody professional to do repair work which was certainly more than just cosmetic.

                                        I don't see a lot of those types now - I'd certainly not want to be one - but most I know cite that it would take them years to recoup the cost of damage from that one bad case and they just weren't willing to deal with that plus the life-disruption anymore.
                                        So now all there pretty much is would be corporate landlords or the type that own several "rental properties" and consider painting the walls (and hinges, and light-switches, and plugs) or throwing down the cheapest carpet possible the extent of their actual "investment" in the property.

                                          There needs to be a distinction made between somebody renting out their downstairs to make ends meet vs. those people who buy up dozens of houses.

                                          Yeah that would be nice. I think the former are kind of a dying breed though (and those that still have them are holding on as tight as they can).

                                          Honestly I tend to refer to the latter as "slumlords" as that tends to better reflect the actual fucks they give about the tenants in their properties. Even the corpos are often better, as at least they tend to be better informed/regulated about their legal obligations.
