We’re finding some places with $80 application fees! These application fees are for every tenant over 18, meaning we’d have to pay…

What’s the thing you’re most scared to do? What would it take to get you to do it? Honestly, I have a list of things I would never do: sky diving, spelunking, bungee jumping, rock climbing, hiking up a mountain, jumping off a cliff, scuba diving, etc. I know some people get a thrill out…
