Case by case basis....some I'd say yes, some I'd say no. They don't like people with "money" issues handling other peoples money usually. They would be more easily induced to "get the deal done" just so they can keep their own head above water. …

1100 sf 3/1 for a single guy? Sounds about right. One bedroom to sleep in, one bedroom to raise baby harp seals and one to club them to death in. So what's everybody's problem?

Newspapers help boost hand soap sales. On a more serious note, I agree with LHR. Not everybody has easy access to a library. It doesn't even have to be rural. Do you know how many buses you might have to take to get to a library in L.A.? If y…

To answer the OP... I have a friend in BHAM who is always trying to get me to move up there. So...I look at home prices...they are still way overpriced. Pay no attention to the "asking prices" on Craigslist WRT what rents really are...Rents are…
