GWiz is going to be our neighbor.
She successfully negotiated a 3 bedroom, 2 bath, 2 car garage home rental here in our gated community. She did all of the negotiation and did really well. She dangled all-cash up front because she can, but in the end, it's very affordable for her, and she didn't have to pay for a 3 car garage. She'll keep 1 of her toys in my garage and swap them out at will.
Racing locally was a big factor in her decision. I truly think she can earn a National Championship jacket in the next 2 years. She does plan on stealing our water for laundry and car washing. It's neat that she can shoulder such expense without needing a roommate, or even her parents. She's definitely independent. |

renters as neighbors - the worst.
they come and go at all hours, can't hold a steady job, have more cars than they can drive at once, always fixing something in the driveway..... lots of luck. if in doubt, call the HOA on her! |

Fun fact, her rental is only 3 houses away from our starter home. We spent 5 years in that home, and have been in our McMansion for 20 years. She gets her freedom, but we, as a family, still get to interact often. She didn't see the value in other cities for the current time.

She does plan on fixing her cars on my lift. One more expense that she doesn't need to incur. She gets to continue to piss off the Canadians directly next door to me.

Gotta love G's frugalness. She and mom been out shopping for furniture all day....at church thrift stores. Just because G has money doesn't mean she wants to spend it.
They are BARGAIN shoppers. |

Needs a new matress for the bed. So now she has the following:
Her office is already going to be decked out with what she has, so she's pretty damn close to furnishing the whole house to her liking, and she's spent a total of less than $200 so far. |
