7/6/2007 - 12:26 AM - MCE - Called and spoke to Randy today about the apartment. Still no information yet. Added more photos to the top from Zillow / Microsoft Virtual Earth.

7/3/2007 - 9:23 AM - MCE - From Eric Mason:


 * Unfortunately, there is no common area storage in the building

7/3/2007 - 2:01 AM - MCE - Fax of NJ Driver's License has been sent. Followed up with email to [mailto:eric.mason@actionvest.com eric.mason@actionvest.com]. Asked question about additional storage in the building. Company web site is: ActionVest Management Corp.

7/2/2007 - 8:01 PM - MCE - Fax copy of Drivers license to: 617-783-8880 ActionVest Management Corporation attention Eric at 617-783-8888 x22.

 * Application has been submitted to Apartment Rental Experts for 432 Norfolk Avenue #3J, Somerville, MA 02143 for a 13 month lease starting August 1st, 2007 until August 31, 2008. Checks for first month ($2500), last month ($2500), and security  deposit ($800) has been submitted.  Also check for 1/2 fee ($1250) has also been submitted.  Jeff will fax over the application tonight to make sure that we are first in the queue for Monday morning to prevent someone else from renting the apartment.  Right now I'm the only person on the lease which should be fine from a financial perspective (otherwise I have to have proof of employment for Karla which I don't have tonight).


 * Still need to resolve the following questions (Randy is going to check with them on Monday):
 * Are cats okay (says negotiable)? - YES
 * Can the metal drip pan be removed from the closet (since there are already washers/dryers on the floor) - NO. Required by code.
 * Is there any additional storage area in the building? - Randy forgot to ask.
 * Any negotiation of the rent? ($2300 would be better, but I don't think this will be possible) - NOPE.
 * Can we get a measured floorplan? - They will look to find out.


 * Although we have an application in, we can still be denied this apartment for a number of reasons:
 * Someone else submitted an application earlier (which is why it is going to be faxed tonight)
 * They don't like our move in date of August 1, 2007 and want to rent it sooner.
 * Some other reason with the application

6/30/2007 - 12:31 PM - MCE - Wow. Very nice apartment. Everything is very nice. Real web site here: Union Place. This is definitely first on my list right now.

6/30/2007 - 6:30 AM - KKE


 * The neighborhood looks kind of nice from the Google map photo. The square footage is strange since it looks a lot more from the photos. It looks very airy and nice. I am glad you are checking this one out.

6/29/2007 - 7:19 PM - MCE - Randy - cell: 781-820-2368. Scheduled to meet with him on Saturday at 9:00 - 11:00 AM.

6/29/2007 - 6:36 PM - MCE - called and left a message for Jay from ApartmentX since I talked to him before. Called spoke with Andy. He's going to call me back after he finishes the other call.
