Sadly, there are often a fair number of "no shows" with no explanation or apology.   

If you had credit issues like Short Sales, Foreclosures, Bankruptcies, or Liens, in the past, it is recommended to have an explanation of what happened, and what you have done since the credit issues to ensure your success and creditworthiness.You may also be able to provide compensating factors to help strengthen the loan scenario.

Scott Trench - best response/explanation I've seen yet.

I would first determine what part of CA you are interested geographically and if you are willing to go outside of that geographical area to look for what you want.  

Is this OK to consider given your explanation?

Hope this explanation helps.  

Give them a letter of explanation of your side job income.  

We called them after our usual guy decided to serve a smaller geographic area.  -- He also installed the system (initially) so that the heater and air conditioner came on at the same time.  

The "Other Provisions" of the plan says " Debtor shall commence their monthly rent beginning 12/1/2015" which I interpret as full rent will be paid going forward.The Bankruptcy form is a little confusing, in the standard explanations section it says "To be paid, you must file a Proof of Claim even if your claim is listed in the schedules filed by the debtor."

It's all pretty clearly written on the quote, and all 3 witnesses remember the explanation the same way.Now, after 2 weeks of waiting for this guy to come out, he finally did.
