Rents dropping in Hawaii (Honolulu: renters, credit check, price)

[mdand3boys]

Like I have mentioned before, rents have been dropping in Hawaii due to the economy. Renters can ignore the asking price and negotiate.

See - I told you that you could do it! Good job!

i'm hoping the rental market is still the same in 6 months when i get there and start looking for something permanent. the article certainly made it sound like it would still be a good outlook for me. fingers crossed tho!

I don't think it will change to an upward movement for quite a long time. There are too many people out of work or have had hours cut.

katiem8: ps - I see you are getting more snow today.

We don't like that 4 letter word spoken or written here

md-yeah. i'm at work right now & dreading driving home. i was under the impression of less than an inch of snow w/ little accumulation. they changed the forecast after it started snowing to expect at least 2 inches on the ground w/ blowing & drifting. my dad just called to tell me to stay on the main roads b/c there were 6 cars in the ditch between tremont & morton (like 6 or 7 miles). and i'm watching news clips from ur local news right now. can't wait to be there!

ah .. I remember snow, vaguely ...

I will be sooo glad when snow is just something I see up at the top of Mauna Kea! Here in north-east california, it has been snowing for days and days.
As KoaKine said = that is a four letter word, a very bad, bad, bad four letter word! ;-)

Hey mdand3boys, I am curious on the rental application process. I have looked at a couple of rental applications, seems they want credit checks, rental feferences, personal refs, blood sample, urine sample, three goats, two chickens, and a fatted calf. Do you think they have lightened up a bit?
