Here's how to charm the bigwigs in luxury apartments: Mingle at fancy events, then email specific buildings with a friendly pitch.

Some of the finishes are a a little sloppy, but all-in-all, it is nicer than most apartments in WeHo, and it comes with a big backyard.Driving around the area, the businesses looked old and distressed - old auto repair shops, no fancy restaurants, a Wal-Mart, some Mexican restaurants.

No need to get fancy here.

Frontier has a direct flight from Denver to Branson that is economical (around $120 round trip) and I could easily get a 2 bedroom dressed out in a weekend or a week...right?

All sides appear to have great points.The thing that is nagging me while I'm reading them all is this: 401ks/Roth IRAs/whatever fancy retirement savings plan all force you to retire at a particular age: 59.5, and if I understand the implication here: you can't use any of the money until you're that old. 

Mail a heartfelt letter - put this in the mail and don't use fancy letterhead - handwritten and personal4.

Nothing crazy, nothing fancy. 

We ironically are in a less desirable area, the homes aren't fancy or even nice but it doesn't seem to deter people feom renting from us.

The appraiser comped my house (brick on slab, in nice hood with fancy RVs and fishing boats) with other hoods with block n beam rotted wood homes sitting next to convenience stores and strip centers.

It doesn't have to be new, fancy or even NICE - but the way they treat it will be the way they treat your house.
