The BEST lenders I have ever worked with (as a borrower) are, as you say, quick to respond, reliable, honest, and never leave me hanging. 

They were also more likely to smoke in the house and leave burn marks on furniture.Now, I’m shifting my focus to families and business travelers, especially since we’re only 5 miles from the Houston Medical District and major attractions like Minute Maid Park (home to Major League Baseball's Houston Astros), Toyota Center (home to the NBA's Houston Rockets) and the NRG stadium (a multi-purpose stadium with seating capacity of 72,220).

Leave out the emotion, the lies, the manipulation, etc.

It would leave your net worth really skewed into one asset and class of asset. 

I would have been leaving money on the table.

Additionally, there’s always a risk that any pet-related damages could be hidden under furniture or otherwise concealed, potentially leaving us to cover the costs if the security deposit is fully depleted by other expenses (e.g., damages or unpaid rent).

The way it was explained to me was that I had to give them 60 days notice to leave the property.

The sun is usually shining every day and buyers are actively looking in the months of January and February unlike some markets where they wait until the spring.

Leave it to San Fran, right?

I would not give notice to leave somewhere until I had a place lined up.
