Everything looks good and was checking out - job history, new job, waiting on credit check.Well, except when we checked their references of their current landlord.

i just mailed out my first set of letters, now im just waiting for my phone to start ringing! 

Wait.

$15,000/$150 = 8.3 years.Why would you wait 8.3 years when you can have it today?

Your employer is probably waiting for you to state some boundaries and get some work / life balance but perfectly happy to take advance of you until you figure it out.

With the property suddenly under water, I decided to rent and wait it out.  

You have the unfair advantage of living in an awesome market where you can lay eyes on some great potential deals.

Was waiting to see who would offer some over priced real estate program that never works for anyone but the one selling.
