Crash pads or room for rent??

Hey guys. I was recently was hired by Fedex as a professional instructor and I'm in the process of looking for a crash pad/room for rent. I start class on April 15 and will be coming out there on April 12. I plan on buying a house in the near future, but for the mean time I'll need a place to stay.

If anyone has crash pad phone numbers or ideas i'd really appreciate it.

Doesn't a professional instructor work most days of the month?

-It really isn't fair to the other crash padders if you are there nearly every day, not to mention the owner of the crash pad.

If you can't find something, start your own. You'll be amazed how fast it will fill up.

Really...what do you care? I had a dispatcher and a commuting mechanic in mine. The benefit was that the fridge was usually full of beer and fresh food instead of moldy vegetables and crystalized condiments in the door.

The strippers who lived in our crash pad appreciated the extra company. Sounds like your crashpad sucks.

Hey all, looking for a crash pad starting mid May or beginning of June in Mem if anyone has any leads. Like to keep it $300 or under if at all possible.

You are kidding, right? Not fair? So whats fair, 5 days a month, 7? Pretty hard to have any amount of "fair" when there's no lease. If a guy wants to stay the whole month, thats fair. You going to complain if a guy sits 15 days of reserve and doesn't get called too?

Owning a crash pad is a big plus for a lot of people. You know who your renters are and you aren't going to have your place trashed. And, you are going to have a property mostly paid for by renting it out. I doubt too many guys are going to complain if a guy stays in the pad as long as he wants.
