Actually, I hired an F&I guy out of a large dealership as a mortgage loan officer, as I suspected, he couldn't cut it and much had to do with bad habits from personal loans and the auto environments.  

It's a controlled environment. 

The idea of house hacking in this uncertain economic environment would certainly be attractive to me! 

They're inspecting nearly every home now post-bind because of the difficult insurance environment and ability to get off a risk (flat cancel) within a certain period of time (depending on the state) just after the policy was issued. 

I used this to help teach financial ideas to coworkers in a retail environment. 

It's a very congested, urban environment and all our other spaces are claimed by other renters who leased early and chose their spots promptly. 

It's 'conventional' wisdom now, but not when he first gave it a shot.There are many advantages to the low interest rate environment of today.

In the current environment, we are strongly advising against that if there is any risk the sponsoring employer may go out of business or get merged.  

Not to sound insensitive but in this environment does it make business sense to only write month to month leases agreements not knowing if your tenants can maintain employment?  

That's my story and I'm sticking to it.Chris BungeLexington/Columbia and environs
