The Mailbox Test
When you are viewing a property to buy or an apartment to rent take a look at some of the Mailboxes next door and across the street. You want to look at the names on the Mailboxes because they give you an idea of what kind of folk you'll be living near.
I looked at a decent apartment on Tallman Street yesterday but when I ran The Mailbox Test I was shocked. When I say "Lopez"," Rodriguez", "Vazquez", and "Garcia" on the Mailbox next door I was not renting a place in that motherfucker!
