@Stephen White I had an event I hosted just this weekend and I spoke for about 3 hours teaching people what I do AND ITS was TRULY free PLUS I did not offer any sleazy salesy XTREAM product. 

He is a conservative radio show host.

You can utilize some great tools like Pricelab, iGMS, Hostfully, etc. to really automate most of your "work". 

I mainly ask since I work a busy job, deal with hosting the filmings, and have a newborn.Thanks, Allen

I screened as well as I could, they all looked good on paper, seemed nice in person, references and background checks checked out etc. but turnover was higher, living there was less fun, and a few house mates turned out to be nightmares: one started working as a paralegal and spent her days researching ways to screw me over on everything, another one started secretly growing peyote in his closet and ended up trying to stab another housemate who drank a bit too much one night and got emotional when I was out of town (they both spent some time in county jail over that incident and had to be asked nicely to GTFO) another one lived almost entirely off of expired frozen cod that he bought on sale for $1 and then microwaved it, making the house smell like nasty rotten fish for a few hours every night... barking dogs left unattended in the yard, dog fights, angry neighbors, dog poop, the peyote cult coming by and hosting drum circles into the night having bon fires in the yard, police coming by, fire department coming by... ...my future wife moved in and then we moved out pretty soon after, bought a different primary with no room mates, kicked all the crazies out and made it a normal rental rented to a family.

The reason for selling so low is that they don't need much and don't want much (simple life), and they want to be able to pass something on to a family member that has the ability to turn it around and host thanksgiving dinners from now on haha.Any insights would be greatly appreciated!

They only sale as bundles and do not offer over the counter sales by law.

I'm personally hosting my own here in NYC.

I'm hosting my own here in NYC in December should start your own if there's none you like in the area. 

My broker at New Western has started hosting our REI on Tap events more regularly now (about once a month) and we always have a good turnout there as well.
