So my girl friend is disgusted that we will have to use these units to wash and dry our bedding, clothes, etc.

Nice tenants can turn grumpy and hostile pretty quickly when their life is significantly disrupted, dust is all over their clothes and furniture, and constructions guys are walking around their house with muddy shoes. 2.

Turns out this had been happening to other women and they found a guy who had a bunch of women's clothing in his place that wasn't his (his roommate found out about it and squealed on him). 

My friend and partner did this for several years.It has it's pros and cons.ConsA lot of the same issues as a regular roommate.Dirty dishes, clothes, not wanting to clean the house.Pro, the rental agreement is a little more loose.  

If you're buying a residence (or a car, a TV set, clothes, or pretty much everything else) buy the cheapest thing available that meets your needs.

So if I hire out do clothe contractors usually let other people help?

I'm sure you don't like paying retail (full price) for your clothing, so why would you pay full retail for something like a HOUSE?

I believe if someone is  the type (and most people are) that once you attain money, you buy things, nicer house, nicer clothes, nicer car....and people see this, they will hit you up for money.  

My iphone, other electronics, cosmetics and some clothing were damaged beyond repair.I informed my landlord of the damaged items the next day and he brushed it off.

Buying real estate is like buying clothes...Sometimes expensive, sometimes cheap.
