Imagine if some people moved into your house. You could still use it, the 20% at the front end. They will use the other 80% or so.
Lets say your total payments and all the expenses for your house every month was $2,500.00. The people that moved into your house will pay you $250.00 a month for your troubles. They think it's a fair deal.
You still don't like the idea? How about if they were, world class house-sitters and you would get plenty of PR and articles about how great the house-sitters are, does that make any difference?
The Mayor and all the representatives in the city say it's OK. As a matter of fact the Mayor set the deal up some years ago, and he owns part of the business that will pay you $250.00 a month. That's a lot of money, don't spend it all in one place.
What? You don't want these people in your house?
What if I told you they would use your name as well (The ''Smiths'' House-sitting Team - insert your name there). Sure they would make money off dozens of people that would also move in. They bring in some ugly poles in the front of your house, for some special ''house-sitting'' excercises, you know, to keep them world-class.
Oh, yea I forgot, they need to keep it about 10 degrees colder than you like it...in your house. OK...they will also pay the heating bill in the winter, as long as you don't mind wearing thermals and a parka to bed.
You might be saying, I don't want the poles or those people in my house. It's my house!
Well, then, you might understand how many of us feel about our pool.
