I'm moving back to So cal. and looking for a place. The wife wants to buy now, I'm trying to convince her that its not the best time to buy, especially in the 600k-1mil range. But she has this stigma against renting. I figure if I can show her a couple of nice places/SFR that are available...

What website do you guys use to find property for lease?

Does bad credit history make it difficult to find employment?

Thanks for the reply. I'm wondering if the increase number of people with bad credit will blunt some of the affects of bad credit. In the past, there were huge stigmas with having bad credit, foreclosure, or bankruptcy in your history, but now, it seems almost prudent. With more people having...
