Looking for a break (Orlando, Union Park: good credit, for sale, apartment)

[Starting Over 2008]

Single Dad with 15 year old daughter looking for an affordable place to live. The catch.....a nasty and expensive divorce and custody battle that left us bankrupt, evicted and starting over. Have a decent job as a fast food manager, but because of bankruptcy and eviction, having trouble finding someone willing to take a chance on us. I have always prided myself on my good credit and never paying late. Legal battles and a very expensive hospital stay did us in. If anyone has, or knows of a home or apartment for rent in the Union Park or East Orlando area and you are willing to give a Dad & daughter a break, please call me at 407-591-9177 or e-mail at cheflloyd@gmail.com Thanks!

Tough breaks man, hope the best for you and your daughter. I can't help you but I'm sure your chance will come.

Sorry to hear about the bad times. My only suggestion would be to pick an area you would like to stay, and look for the communities that have the most vacant homes for sale. Most of those homes are draining the wallets of the home owners and they will be willing to give you a shot. Just make sure you are sincere and honest when explaining your situation. If you are not able to speak to the owner directly I would recommend typing up a letter explaining everything and give that with the application. Good Luck and I know 2008 will be better because you will make it better.
