It's muck more than just the money.
[QUOTE=MadMax67;6473092]It cost more to stay in hotels than to rent. The problem is coming up with 1st and last months rent and security deposit up front.[/QUOTE]Generally when you rent a home that has a monthly rent, you need an I'd and decent credit. Electric, water & sewer deposits, back ground checks, etc. Add in the fact that trying to have a string of guys come through a residential neighborhood raises attention.
One thing to remember about Astrid
She always changed rooms up / floors at the hotel stays. Didn't want a place where anyone could view the entrance. Saying for safety reasons: LEO / stalkers. Since there's medication always in the proximity / frequent traffic she mixed it up. I hope Astrid is enjoying herself in Orlando. Between St Pete / Tampa / Orlando it keeps her Mysterious and off the radar. As previously mentioned she was always shopping for a place, plenty of real estate viewings-just never happened. Personally I liked seeing her at all the different hotels. Especially the 5 star ones. She would call me when she got one downtown. Thanks to her I've been in practically ever hotel in Clearwater / Saint Pete area. Thanks Astrid!
