Hello All Landlords/PM's,

I think that advice is not only funny, but, spot on. I had a yahoo come up to me flashing a deposite and first month rent and told me he was ready to move into my rehab tomorrow. I simply said "OK, my application only has one question. I need to see where you are living now to see how you will treat my property". He invited me to have intercourse with my self and walked off. I like to tell all of my landlord buddies this story.
