Our CL posting

We are looking for a 3 bedroom house and have been looking for quite some time. The problem is that we've dealt with too many shady realtors who have always found some way to waste our time (give away a property we've already given them deposits for or show us properties that aren't available to us because of the move-in date). Because it took one realtor over 2 weeks to tell us that they 'promised' our property to someone else, we are now in a bind and running out of time...

What we require:
-July 27th move in at latest
-3 fair sized rooms (fair sized = can fit a queen sized bed and desk)
-refrigerator
-stove
-dishwasher
-washer/dryer (or at least connections)
-west of I-35
-south of 183
-north of 71
-east of Mopac (unless its Tarrytown)

What we prefer:
-CACH (almost a requirement)
-2 bathrooms (we'll deal with 1 if we have to)
-to stay away from I-35 as primary highway
-close to a bus route (half mile at most)
-front porch and\or back porch
-no common walls (not a huge deal)
-no more than $1500/month rent

If you feel you have a property that meets our requirements and some of our preferences we'd definitely be interested in more information. So, if you could please email with contact info we'd be more than interested in trying to set up and appt to see the house. Thanks so much.



* this is in or around Central

PMT will Suffer

So here's the deal, po and I have been searching for houses basically nonstop. So today on my way to work, fuckin PMT (Property Management of Texas) calls me and tells me the house they said we would SIGN THE LEASE FOR TODAY is not going to be available to us. This is the second time they've done this. The first time we were told by PMT that we were getting a house @ 4513 Speedway, and so we gave them the security deposit, first months rent, all that shit. Well these assholes make us wait about a week before getting back to us and telling us that someone has tried to outbid us on the house.... wtf. Now granted, this was an awesome house in Hyde Park, and the $1600 rent seemed a little too low, so a bid didn't really surprise me. We matched the bid (only an extra $50) and were told the house would be ours in weeks time or so. So another week passes when po decides that we've waited long enough and calls PMT to find out WTF they are doing. Turns out they gave the house to someone else. Why did we have to call to find this out? Turns out PMT only knew 25 minutes before po called... yah right, nice try guys.

So in short FUCK U PMT
