This is a cleaning/maintenance item, just like light bulbs or vacuuming.

I am 22 and work for a major airline so I do a lot of traveling.

Considering that it is President's Day weekend airline fares are about double what they normally are, but I feel uncomfortable letting my inspection contingency run out without having ever seen the property in person.

For an extra $xx/month, to have someone come in and clean the common areas, bathrooms, vacuum, etc would have been something great added - especially if it was cheap split between a few roommates.

Although we are paying pmi, the rent is still higher than the mortgage.Our model is the "southwest airlines".

Take advantage of Credit card deals(interest free, airline miles, etc..) as it would help alleviate some financial stress if you run into problems.

A little bit about us, David is a Pilot for SkyWest Airlines and Rena is finishing up her Doctorate in Engineering with a Post Doctorate to follow at the Mayo Clinic.

Good: Vacuum the carpets- get those sharp "v" marks into them instead of footprints everywhere.

He had just retired from United after a long career working his way up from engineer to co pilot to capitan on ( at the time state of the art 747 400 )  and we were talking about the strikes that would happen in the airlines.. so the pilots who are totally pro union ( most of them anyway)  ALPA is super strong .. 

I am buying my airline tickets today.
