You have told me that...twice. Are you trying to curse me?
I don’t remember these things. I read it, exited the thread, then I figured it was rude not to at least acknowledge the post. I did the extra work required of a friendship like ours. I came back into this bitch, but the best I could come up with was a generic/worthless thumbs up comment.

I was expecting more empathy, but I guess I will just have to accept this.

We need to tell each other what we need from this relationship. I don’t think either of us are mind readers.

You are correct.

What I am asking for is your empathy. You have recently been through this kind of life upheaval.

But as always, you shut me down.

I wish your transition to be as smooth and awesome as mine has been.

Yes, I am transitioning.

To a renter for the first goddamn time since my 20s.

I am finally done. The house closes on Monday and it is done.

I have learned more about real estate in the last few months than I have accumulated my entire life.

Things have changed now from the last time I rented back in the early 1990s.

If you rent, you are lucky if you have a physical person landlord now.

Now it is all huge corporates scooping up real estate, outsourcing every damn thing from agent to maintenance and then you deal with their poor software application systems and it is about as frustrating as it can be.

And I don't give a shit if this sounds racist, but the majority of my time today was dealing with customer service professionals that reside in India.

The whole experience has been extremely annoying.

Would you say we're having a housing crisis?

Hell no. The townhome I am renting for a year has vacant units all around. The properties are all owned by an outfit out of Atlanta and let me tell ya, it is run by rank amateurs. They have no agent on site, it is all electronic, including the doors with key pads only. The process is frustrating as shit but there is no shortage of homes where I am to rent or buy.

Good to hear.

I thought rental prices were getting out of hand, and when you throw in terrible management practices it sounds like a pain in the ass.

Finally done with the move into the rental.

I rewarded myself with a new 85 inch TV.
Damn, now we have an Uncle Boozy.

Congrats on the move in!
