Most of their parents' belongings, including clothes, furniture, appliances, and junk, were still in the house, but from what i could see, the house looked like it would be just about ready to live in once everything was removed.

If all the food, clothing, and furniture is gone, they're probably gone.

My daughter has trouble living with anyone, even best friends -- so if you get upset at someone leaving a coffee cup on the counter or clothes in the dryer, bringing other friends in the house, etc., then maybe find an alternative to renting out a room.

So if you go any of about 5 national clothing chains I've worked with in the past few years and complain that they're always out of something, there's a decent chance you're griping at me.I sold out in Kentucky a few years ago and moved to Florida.

To truly benefit from L/O, you place yourself as an adversary to the tenant clothed as a benefactor.

If you have high bills then you need to cut things out cable, fancy clothes, toys, etc.Go down to the bare bones and live well below your means and then as you experience success start adding things back in slowly but still live a modest lifestyle compared to your income and invest the rest.The goal is to eventually have so much money then you live a very nice lifestyle but it still only represents a fraction of your wealth and each year it grows bigger and bigger.Most just spend all the money they make and have hardly anything to show for it.

They basically wait till we finally get a judgement then they take off with the clothes on their back and leave everything else behind.

Dummy craigslist ads or a perusal of the other "For Rent" properties in the area that are cut from a similar cloth are how you determine rent.

I doubt it.I'm not for banning guns, I'm for redoing many of the laws, could make things easier while we were at it, requiring owners to be very responsible, the owners can take many out of unauthorized hands if they'd decide they didn't need to hang them in pickup windows and lay them around like dirty clothes, as some do.BTW, Bryan, I see you claimed you were not a gun nut, hope you didn't take anything I said as being directed to you, I picked on Texas as it's a big gun loving state....not about you.

Where he comes from, the infrastructure and resources that we have in our society don't come close to the virtually raw land that they lived on in the village.he's killin' it in commercial right now, btw... comin' from only the clothes on his back w/his family of 3 and his wife w/his broken english. :)definitely we (i) get in my own way more times than i may realize...thanks for the great question/post!
