I called apartments.com to verify as the operator said that she did change bank account to an authorized bank accepted by apartments.com.

The police presence (both housing authority and metro PD) seems to be significantly higher in SW than in any of the other areas of the District with high concentrations of poverty-- even on non game days.

For example, Name Removed - real estate salesperson license (476-381650) placed on probation for two years and fined $2,500 for acting outside the scope of his salesperson license, specifically owning and operating two web sites, engaged in leasing condominium apartment units, held security deposits without an escrow account and co-mingled funds with his personal accounts.

Should someone be interested, some applications are published on the uspto web site.

Then, if you want to account for excess appreciation (above inflation) and a second parameter for that.

So, lets subtract the lost rent for the 34 "excess vacancy" units.

If they attempt to use the deposit you will file eviction and that the cost will be excess of 500.00 so they will lose their credit rating as well as their deposit and be sued.As far as them not being available, this is ridiculous, post an inspection notice with 24-hour notice, or whatever your area and lease allows, and then enter whether they are there or not.

any tips/advice/experience with these kind of web sites?

One way would be to look up the local Housing Authority program and ask them the rates for various unit sizes.

haha, I didn't think anyone posted this and I was about to start a new thread.Yes, realtors just seem to be sheep in that blog post and agree with the author without any actual facts,cases etc.Personally, I'm one of the few who defend it but it does fall on deaf ears so I just gave it up because they sure must be happy with their 3% lol
