yeah.

ok.

i'm going to start thinking about strategizing around the next year, by actually increasing the amount of rent i can pay out, by appealing to my savings.

they're making an announcement nov 8th.

if i plan for a year, 1230 + 3500/12 = 1521. 1521 - 270 = $1252.

that's a lot more, isn't it?

even at $1000, total expenses for the year become 1270*12 = 15240 < 18252, and by quite a bit.

i'm going to have to find somebody reasonable, of course.

but what i've learned is that the vacancies actually open up quite substantively when you increase the rent just that extra little bit, because nobody wants the midlevel housing they're building around here....

it's the only category where prices are actually coming DOWN.

if i can talk them into a year lease, with the intent of plotting further courses next year...

there's just not another no smoking option, around here. and, like i say - they can't rent these units.
