I've been doing a great deal of research on my own, as well as trial by fire, but I'm really eager to connect with others in my area who share the same interest.

One's my personal blog - RachelRofe.com - Then other ones are on experiences I've had, such as when I did a raw food trial, or experiences at events...

Agree with Ralph...you're getting a pretty good deal, you'd likely spend more than $16K just on attorney fees if this thing went to trial, and the time/hassle it would incur just doesn't seem worth the likelihood that you'd end up owing less than $16K...

I want to do some more research before I take the plunge and, maybe, try a trial version (if they have it).Anyone use this?

After management moves from the 'trial' period to the 'trusted' period, you can stop doing that with new tenants. 

A 7 year old misdemeanor possession charge is not a big deal, assuming everything else checks out alright.Applicant must never have plead guilty, plead no contest, received probation, deferred adjudication, court-ordered community supervision, pre-trial diversion, or a have pending charge that has not yet been resolved for a felony of any type nor for a misdemeanor involving violence or sexual misconduct (whether or not resulting in a conviction).

It's at leasy worth getting the free trial, right?

The thing that turns me away is this:You have to give them a credit card to do the "7-day trial", and they don't allow you ANY WAY to see a single sample listing on their site until you have given them a credit card number.  

once your floor is level its time to begin. your very first course of tile is very important/I did not really understand all the books methodology of measuring and finding the square etc. what I did is laid one or two courses without thinset but with spacers.once I was confident that these were straight I laid the next tile next to them. point to note when laying the first cemented row of tile next to the trial run be sure not to push the the trial row out of position or you will end up being crooked. tip four get the right consistecy do not mix too much at once. for a beginner perhaps 1/4 of a bag then try 1/2 bag.

You have to apply exactly with the statute, and you should be prepared to produce evidence just like you were going to trial on the facts.
