How do you rent apartments in SF when self-employed?
mdakin: I faced this and after being denied I offered to write a check for the entire year right then.  At that point it was insinuated that I must deal drugs.  Fools are absolutely infuriating.  I had luck finding an owner who's an actual human in the full sense of the word much like the people I normally work with in business.  At that point it's like any other deal.  I think the key, as always, is to keep trying.
