Made a campfire version of these this weekend that were a.maze.ing. Next time I'll try them in the oven on sourdough with melted dark chocolate and a little extra kosher salt. Cannot wait!

If you own a Kindle and don't want to have your highlights aggregated, you don't have to include them in the public tallies; in fact, the default setting is private and you have to take steps to share each highlight, so there's no spying or subterfuge on the part of Amazon.

Aside from what a lot of other people have said about spending below what the lender thinks you can afford, I think the biggest thing I wish I'd known at the beginning was to look not for physical characteristics (1 level vs 2, dining room vs open floorplan, etc) but at lifestyle utility (do you value separation of public and private space? do you do formal or informal entertaining?). It'll give you a lot more options to choose from and make it easier to evaluate very different floor plans and styles side-by-side.

One other thing that I've found is that items sell much faster when they're listed in multiples of $20 so people can stop off at the ATM on the way. Anything to remove obstacles to pick-up and payment helps. :)

I used to live in a very similar space and I used capiz shell curtains. They still let the light through and added a bit of movement & interest behind the glass, but gave the illusion of separate space and a bit of extra privacy without cutting up the apartment.
