They are professional liars and most are high on prescription drugs, illegal drugs, and alcoholics etc. 4.

I was able to carefully choose my stays using the profiles and was able to meet and spend time with a priceless variety of people: people with cats, people with awkward teenagers or adorable tantrum-throwing urchins, people who lived in semi-restored historic ruins, bohemian weirdos with artsy communal lifestyles, widowed intellectuals with priceless antiques and hours to spare patiently correcting my grammar, people who forced me to eat and drink meals worth 3x what I was paying them, all of whom didn't speak (or agreed not to speak) a lick of Anglais. 

While I am indeed a REI newbie I am starting to realize that sipping an umbrella drink on the beach is something that you do to spend time with loved ones.  

Here comes a monkey with a bucket of water and you tell it, give me your banana and in return I will let you let me drink from the bucket.I do have skin in the game.

I might even sit on the porch and drink a beer.  

Some examples you might find are: drug and alcohol abusers, women (with children) who were abused by their male partners, mental health program participants, senior citizen housing, those with physical disabilities.

These two are existing tenants from the previous owner who was a slumlord and rented to anyone with a pulse.One tenant has an alcohol problem, let's call him drunk tenant.

For those, and the simple minded, I suggest that dogs and other animals will be drinking and what ever in their pool if they just leave them filled and they don't want the kids playing in that!

Termite conversation covers hundreds of pages if you wanted to dig into it, but most of all, simply budget for $350 on a purchase, and have a local pest guy in your pocket, take him out to dinner or a drink and abuse him when needed...
