I went to look at one of their properties. The property manager Amber made it very clear that she only works from 9-5, and no saturdays, so working people...sorry, but they'd rather rent to the unemployed.
When I made it to the property I was told to meet her at the unit with no direction. After wandering around the building I made it to the unit. Amber did not make me feel welcome, it was more like I was inconveniencing her by making me show her the apartment.
The apartment was nice, and cheap, but after asking a few questions, I found out they don't do full maintenance. What does this mean? Well Amber told me, if your sink clogs once we'll fix it, but if it keeps happening we'll charge you? WTF? Also, if there are any bed bugs they tell the tenant they brought them in and will charge the tenant to get rid of them.
And then there is the crazy 400 dollar holding fee, etc. I left feeling really turned off from living there. It just seemed with all the apartments out there I would rather live in a building that would take care of things likea clogged sink. This is why we rent, and not own. I just don't want to live in any building where the property management is acting like they're doing you a favor by renting to you--umm, no. We are doing you the favor by giving you our money out of all the other choices we have.
