I paid the 36 bucks for the credit/background check, but the place doesn't feel like 'home' to me if you know what i mean. its also a second floor and the more i think about having to carry our bikes up an down everyday ... blah ...

Oh, I submitted my application and provided a cover letter for the residence explaining a little about me and my situation. Also told them if it helps making their decision of selecting me easier I'm prepared to pay deposit, plus one, two or three months rent in advance.

They have one application already from an out of state family who hasn't viewed the residence and they are showing it again to three families, or two in a couple hours.

competition, eh? well hopefully you'll get it with the security deposit offer. and ha ha - great minds think alike with the skatin thing! 😃

Don't do it! Always go a max of 12mos I usually try to go 9mos just in case. You never know if you're gonna like the place, neighborhood, neighbors, etc... until you settle in. Then if you're happy when it comes time to renew then have at it. That way depending on the housing market in your area you can negotiate a few bucks off your rent with most landlords during the renewal process.

Spoke with the owners a few minutes ago. No surprise, they said they were cautious because of my credit and background. I love explaining how certain "government" people made mistakes and I'm paying for it. Makes me look like a irresponsible person.

Anyhow, I told them of my mistakes I've made and my sacrifices to make amends and explained my continued effort on restoring my credit. They are from Wisconsin as well and told me they'd like to have me as a tenant.

I'm waiting for the lease to be emailed to me for me to sign.

Looks like I have the duplex I wanted. Guess there's no turning back now. Next call. DirecTV and Comcast. 🙂
