in the Bay Area, willing to share a good deal with a stranger, be about the same odds as finding a unicorn dancing on a pot of gold?

Now the remaining people probably won't be able to continue to pay the full amount of rent--I think they will leave voluntarily, but I'll serve the 3 day notice in November if it comes to that.

Put those facts in a pot and stir in a little common sense and it tells you that they're leaving.

Since she quit paying rent, and did not escrow the rent she owes under the terms of her lease, she probably does face eviction if she does not voluntarily vacate in response to the pay or quit notice, provided the owner wishes to take the proceedings to court.

Brian, thanks for sharing your success story and in such detail (just happened to make a fresh pot!).

A mandate it is really the only way - people like us who keep track of energy use voluntarily are uncommon at this point. 

If they insist on their "zestimate", kindly say thanks for stopping by and move on.As for your 2/3 BR issue with Harris county, dude, don't stir that pot.

I then left him with the advice to try and find a realtor and maybe market it himself on craigslist but to beware because that is where newbie investors that don't have a pot to you know what in go to search for their first deal so he will likely get a lot of calls from people that can't really close or have no clue what they are doing.I just wanted to help the guy out and build some trust in case he changes his mind later on down the road.

Just because you put thousands in the pot to invest doesn’t mean it’s not labor.

I have gotten private money from some strange sources and circumstances over the years, I just want to make sure it is in the pot for me to use, it belongs to who put it there, and I am the only one who can remove it.
