Geeky Chic

Warning, I mention numbers here.

I am now convinced that there is a breed of shady folks out there who
make members of my profession  look downright saintly.  I
dealt with a realtor this weekend who didn’t understand the idea that
she shouldn’t alienate renters that don’t blink at paying $2300/month in rent
because these are the very same people who can potentially bring in
some extra business a year later when they decide to put down some
serious cash to buy.  I am just insulted that the realtor upped
the original move in cost of $5,750 to $6,250 because of the cat. 
The $500 is a minor difference, but $3,950 (the deposit amount) is an
unreasonably estimate of the amount of damage a housecat can do.

When initial move-in costs are this high, one might as well buy.
