Just roaches dude. Yeah, it's a PITA, but at worst you could've called an exterminator and saved several hundred bucks. Due dilligence, and don't be a wimp.

Dude that wouldn't have even worked because the place wasn't properly sealed off from the outside. You could kill all the roaches inside and new ones would just come back.

Any good exterminator would properly address the outside of the structure. No structure is immune to roaches.

Also because I know someone is going to say I didn't plan ahead or came on too tight a budget... I know. I'm living on the edge and pushing things but it will turn out ok and I will have had a valuable experience.

I'm just trying to protect someone else from getting screwed over by sharing my experience.

You didn't get screwed over IMO. You paid half price, and got half the value. You didn't expect any problems at that price?

There are lots of rooms in Austin available for $500 a month. You can get a master bedroom with private bath for that price.

We could have we just ran out of time.
