CB4 Posted August 31, 2006 Share Posted August 31, 2006 Hi all. Been lurking on HAIF for a couple of years now, been thinking about moving to Houston for about as long.Took the plunge and drove straight through last week. Showed up yesterday to the apt I had picked out a couple weeks prior and they told me I needed an additional $750 deposit. I told them thanks, but no thanks and walked off. Now in an extended stay place and I've got 6 days to find a pad before they charge me for another week.I've already dropped a bunch of craigslist responses (and will continue to until the staff here at the Westheimer/Montrose copy.com kick me out) but I figured I'd post here too. If any longtime members were thinking about renting out a room (preferably inside the loop, definitely inside BW8) I'm pretty much your ideal candidate, as I (i) have the cash in the bank and (ii) can participate in endless conversation/BS on topics ranging from art deco to traffic management.Also: I've already hit Ninfa's and some other restaurants, but can anyone recommend some walk-up taquerias that are dirt cheap and wicked good?

VicMan Posted September 1, 2006 Share Posted September 1, 2006 Where do you work? You should find an apartment close to where you work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Houston1stWordOnTheMoon Posted September 1, 2006 Share Posted September 1, 2006 You should try apartment locators. Its a free service and they do the foot work for you. Tell them the area and the price range and amenities you are interested in and they will help you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry I'm out of room. Nothing beats discussing the finer points of Art Deco and cloverleaf exchanges over a half gallon of Captain Morgan. BTW, check out the Houston Press for garage apartments and such. Edited September 1, 2006 by RedScare Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Picked me up at the airport and drove me around all day until we found something I liked. You sign a form at each place they take you to, and that's how they get paid -- something like $20 for each person they bring by. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CB4 Posted September 7, 2006 Author Share Posted September 7, 2006 Found a place, rented room in a 4bed2bath ranch just off the loop. Craigslist is my free locator service. Tapatia was as good as Greaser said; will return with female(s).No job yet; slacks go on tomorrow with paper-copy resumes in hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
