Sacramento - Roomates Wanted (CHEAP!)
A great deal came along on a 4 bed, 2 bath house for rent in Sacramento. A friend of our families is currently fixing it up from the last tenants that were living there, so all windows are new, most doors/door frames are new, the kitchen will be new, bathroom will be semi-new, and it has a new roll-up metal garage door.
It's located just off of Watt, between 50 and Jackson.
As I said, 4 bed, 2 bath.
2 car garage, but once there's a car and some tools, it may turn into a 1 car.
I have yet to drive out and see the place, but from talking to him, it's the biggest lot in the neighborhood, there's about 50' from side yard to next house. Most of the interior will be new. Big front and back yard, and it's a quiet neighborhood, too.
Rent will be $1,000/month +utilities SPLIT BETWEEN EVERYONE. Expect to pay around $300 including utilities. I have yet to sit down with him and discuss the prices of utilities, but it should NOT be more than $100 for everyone.
Also, I have to see what sizes the rooms are before I can nail down specific pricing for everyone living there. I will be driving out to see the house this week (Monday/Tuesday), so I'll have a better idea of what prices we're looking at, as well as more information on the house and the layout.
If you're interested, the house SHOULD be ready to move into by the middle-to-end of next month, if all goes as planned. I'd like to have everyone chosen as roomates and ready to move in whenever the place is ready for us!
If you're interested, please email me, text me or reply to this post.
Thanks, and spread the word! If you have any responsible, trustworthy friends looking for a place, send them my way. The only thing I DO ask is that whoever moves in takes care of the house (this is why we're getting a good deal on rent), and be past the "OMG HOUSE PARTY" stage of your life. Small kickbacks are fun, but no 420, no smoking inside, and no 3:00am jam sessions on bass with your cracked out friend-of-a-friends.

LOL! If it was in LA, there's no way you'd be getting a 4 bed house for $1000 a month anyway!! Thanks for the interest, though, it's a screaming deal.
RicerJ, I PM'd you on Zilvia, text me so I can give you more information. It's just a short drive around the corner for you, basically!
The main things I'm looking for are roomates who are not going to thrash this house (which is the reason I'm getting the deal that I am!), who are mature/responsible and past the party stages of their lives. Again, kickbacks are fun, but when they extend into the morning and consist of 4,000 people crammed into my house, they're not a kickback, and they're NOT fun.
Please have a steady income or a family that's willing to pay rent on time and consistently. That's the main thing. It's not hard to come up with $350 a month, even if you're working part time flipping burgers (or pizzas, RicerJ!!). I will be very strict on rent, but I'm very relaxed on pretty much anything else.
Again, text/email me with any questions you have. I will try my best to respond right away, but I might be dealing with an ******* customer, so I'll get back to you as soon as I can.

Time has come, move-in is this month. I have a key, so I'm able to take people on a walk-through while the finishing touches are being put in. Rent is $450/month for rent, utilities, cable, etc. All new kitchen, floors, carpets, windows, paint, bathrooms, showers, etc. On my request, the garage was also done up with lighting and extra outlets for tools, compressors, etc.
I don't have any pictures, but again, I can walk people through it starting this month and we can hammer out the details. It's close to Sac State, it's a quiet neighborhood and it's the biggest lot on the street with a huge back yard (that we MIGHT re-gate to allow vehicles into the side yard if there's a project... To be decided!!).
Please PM, email, post, call or text for more information or to set up a time to come see the place and review details.

Bump and update.
I'm moving into the house on December 15th, with or without any roomates. Because of this, I will only be charging HALF OF THE FIRST MONTH'S RENT for December, plus last month's rent as a deposit. $675 as a move-in for the month of December.
It looks like I'm giving a walk-through/tour on Monday, if anybody else wants to hop in with us, or set up another time I can bring you around, please get in touch with me (email or text is best) and we'll figure out the details.

Still accepting roomates, nobody is cemented yet. Starting January, move-in cost will be $900 which will include January's rent and your security deposit. Please call, text or email with any questions or to set up a tour of the place. I want to have people all paid for and ready to move in on the 1st of the year. Spread the word for me!

Not quite sure what you posted, since I have less than 100 posts I can't see it.
Sadly, I'm having to post on craigslist to hope for any hits... So far, I've gotten no real response from the car community. As cool as I think it would be to have some motor heads in the house, it looks like that might not work out.
Spread the word!

So I showed the house to a girl today who's very interested in moving in. I won't count my chickens just yet, but it sounds like I have 2 rooms left to rent out.
I did take pictures this time, too, maybe it'll spark some new interest?
Kitchen: New floors, new lighting, new counter, new cabinets, new dish washer, new sink, used oven, but new to house, etc, etc, etc
Entry/Living room: New carpet, new paint
Hallway: New carpet, new paint
Bedrooms: New carpet, new paint, new doors and soon new windows
Main bathroom: New counter, new sink, new mirror/medicine cabinet, new paint, new shower head (used to just be bath) soon to have new shower curtain, new toilet
And last, but most importantly, the Garage: TEN NEW OUTLETS, 2 new fluorescent light fixtures hung, with 2 outlets free for more. He really went out of his way to set me up on this one, it was a total surprise. Merry XMAS!
Again, move in will be January 1st, cost is $450 a month, which includes rent and ALL UTILITIES, no hidden costs. Pets are being considered. Garage is yet to be divided for use, bedrooms are on a first-come, first-served basis, but all are equal in size and layout, pretty much. Move in cost will be first and last month's rent, so $900 on move-in, following a walk-through and inspection for the sublet agreement we'll go through.
Let me know what you guys think!

UPDATE/BUMP!
For the month of January, I'm lowering rent to $350 with a $450 deposit. Starting February, rent goes back to $450. This is because I will be out of town from the 7th to the 12th and you will be missing out on that week to move in.
Again, for the month of January, move-in cost will be $800 TOTAL, and then $450/month following.
I've already started moving things in, and will likely be living there in the next week or so, which will make it easier to show the house, obviously. The house isn't furnished, if you could tell from the pictures, but I will be collecting things after I'm moved in. If you don't have a bed, there is a clean twin sized (maybe a long twin, not sure) in the garage with a box frame and spring mattress that you are MORE than welcome to use until you can get another one (or just live with that one).
Bedroom #1: 14' x 9'
Bedroom #2: 9.5' x 11'
Bedroom #3: 11.5' x 11'
Obviously, bedroom #3 is the largest, and it's also the furthest from the kitchen and living room (right across from the master), and right next to the main bathroom. Room #1 is slightly smaller, and is closest to the living areas. Bedroom #2 is the smallest, but is still a decent size and is more secluded from the living areas and bathroom, and also looks out into the back yard.
Again, spread the word and let me know if you have any other questions on anything!

So I'm living here now. Just got cable and internet hooked up yesterday, and I'll have the house on a full wireless network next month. If anybody wants to come check it out, swing by when I'm not at work and we'll get you all set up!!
I only have TWO rooms available, and I've lowered rent to $400/month UTILITIES INCLUDED!!
