I’m considering applying for an apartment in a townhouse that is also listed for sale (for $7 million lol). If the townhouse is sold after I move in, the new owner would have the option to terminate my lease. I would have 90 days to move out, but during that time I wouldn’t have to pay rent. I really like this apartment and it’s priced below market because of this risk. Has anyone taken this gamble before?

Sorry I’m not sure what else you are looking for in my post?
My friend moved in with the townhouse for sale knowing it might be sold/they might have to move. Turns out it never sold before they moved out (on their own) 3 years later

Looks like an amazing deal, no downside unless you can’t afford the rent if they decide not to sell.

I found a company I was really excited about working at. I applied for the job and went through 5 rounds of interviews. At the end they said I was OVER qualified and they want me for a different position higher up in the company. I was super excited they then had me go through 5 more rounds, 3/5 people were the same. The interviews mostly went "didn't you get the job, I highly recommend you? I'll just put you down as a 10". After those were done they told me I was UNDER qualified. Can't win!

I am applying to more positions through staffing agencies as one way to get a writing job. When they tell me the hourly rate and I suggest a few dollars higher per hour, they'll say, "Just so you know, the competition is priced lower than you."

Is this to scare me into submission to charge less so that they can profit more? Or is an employer really not going to pick me because I am priced 1-$2 more per hour than someone else? Wdyt?
