This was great because I could tell girls at parties I was going to be a rocket scientist...3 years in, switched it over to industrial engineering when it became clear to me that the aerospace industry was dependent on defense contracts and jobs were getting hard to come by. 

(That's how I got it) So they were all giddy that it was for rent now and that they were actually standing in the house.They have 3 little girls, just like me. 

The members of the BP community are big boys and girls quite capable of deciding for themselves what they want and what they can afford.

Keep all utilities, cable, HOA, in your name only and title of property.Either you put a ring on this girls finger.. or she'll end up ringing your neck down the road..There is no fair way of splitting expenses,, your gaining equity on property,,, and have tax write off's she won't.. so keep that in mind.

Old real estate agents who have huge personal good-old-boy and girl networks to draw on, membership in the local social organizations, maybe did a stint on a local school board or a municipal council, that kind of thing.Especially when it comes to buying local rental properties, you can't do better than old landlords who only own one or two urban residential duplexes that they inherited from Daddy way back when, places that have provided them just an ever-dwindling bit of rental income all their lives in exchange for a bit of hands-on maintenance.

Blanket loans are difficult to maneuver properties in and out of and if you ever decide to sell one or refinance one to use the equity to grow your portfolio, it makes for a messy proposition.One girl's opinionStephanie

I had some girl freak out over showing me her bank activity.

I have one room left to rent out in my group house and I have two girls who have the exact same credit history, they submitted the rental application within minutes of each other, they showed up to look at the house at the exact same time, they both want to move in on the same date, basically they are equal in every way. 

She was previously living there with a roommate and they were both on the lease, and I allowed the old roommate to move out and wrote a new lease with the one girl on the same terms.

I recently listened to a podcast where this girl talked about how much she LOVES Airbnb.... well I don't "get" it, I find Airbnb nothing but aggravating and frustrating!
