Good to know!

For the others going on about specific properties, please post the problems/results/thoughts in the property threads, as that would help FTers doing a search on the property.

BTW - on the housekeeper seeing the fiancee nude thing - put the deadbolt across. While they shouldn't enter before you answer, that one is on you too. The color of the bathroom is irrelevant. Other difficulties could or could not be a problem, but I'd bring them up w/ GM.

Cheers.
