If I had a loan it would be negative cash flow.The biggest issue is the constant wear and tear on the furniture, appliances, etc.  

They will be burning their furniture and part of their house to stay warm and eating their trees and old shoes.

Have flowers in a vase, or use a basket with a couple of rolled hand towels, guest soaps, and a couple of flowers.You get your color into the bath with the accessories.If I replaced the bathroom floor, I might take a look at the fancy cabinet sink combos, where the cabinet looks like furniture.

He said he would tell me that number and sign off the contract if I agree on a side deal to buy his pool furniture for $20,000 which consist of several plastic chairs you can get at Walmart for $9.99.I really wish something can be done about it.

They had moved all their furniture etc to the new one .The landlord shows up and says she's keeping the deposit cause the walls need to be repainted and the carpet replaced too !

Buy new furniture for yourself and keep the receipt.
