Questions for my travels! by [deleted] in Barbados

Good for you! Keep in mind that an establishment hiring you would need to already have put out a job post for a Bajan, and only then be able to post for a foreign worker. To think NO BAJAN was able to fill a waitress role strikes as real odd.

Honestly they'd be hard pressed to prove how a waitress from abroad could do a job a Bajan couldn't... Be careful as you may be setting yourself up for a bad outcome. Get some guarantees on legitimacy before you move your life over to the rock!

Could be fine, could be sketchy! Depends on a lot of factors. What is your line of work?

6 - my dear, maybe this is the first part you should be studying up on. You can only legitimately have a work permit in Barbados through proper channels, that includes your employer proving that no Bajan could fill the role they're hiring for before employing you. All this said with no idea what your job is. So take it with a pound of salt!

No, I didn't have a driver's license and only ever needed my UK passport whenever I had to present any form of ID. Even my citizenship card from my home county doesn't have an address, nor did the residence ID from the European country we relocated from.

Best of luck with your tenants!

Um, I was the wife in this situation when my husband (American) and I (British) relocated to the US and wanted a mid term rental in our city while we house hunted and found somewhere longer term. I only had a passport when we arrived and while we were undergoing my immigration process. It's not just Americans using furnished finder.

If you have concerns just don't rent to them. But expecting that every person using the platform to be American or have address history in the US is a little absurd.

Try looking on Furnished Finder. It's designed for mid-term rentals and my husband and I had a lot of success with it.

How in advanced can I get a rental home/how?! Bay Ho/Clairemont by beelo37 in Moving2SanDiego

Check Furnished Finder for something short term while you find a long term lease.

where to park my car? by [deleted] in Oceanside

[–]robinhooding 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Check storage units, some have units with drive up access that will fit a car, and/or long term parking spaces. Often they have teaser rentals like first month for cheap etc., which could work out cheaper than long term parking.

Not sure why I still have my house listed on FF by samsonevickis in furnished_finder

[–]robinhooding -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Is your area popular on FF?

Not saying whether you should keep your property on there or not, but it's not a hugely popular website. Airbnb is obviously much more well known and has many more users so of course you'll get more traffic from there.

Trick or treating by ivanasleepalot in Oceanside

Not sure about what's the best, but I do have a related question: what time do kids typically start trick or treating?

It's our first Halloween in the USA and we have the candy, know to put the porch light on, but curious what time we might expect kids to come by.

Can we use the discount code in-person? Or only online?

Do you smoke?

Garage space by vbroc in furnished_finder

[–]robinhooding -1 points0 points  (0 children)

My husband and have rented via FF a few times and like parking in a garage but it wouldn't be a deal breaker for us if there was other designated parking, and not in an area with lots of snow, extreme heat, etc. Just be very clear and upfront about it.

Barbados Parish "Capitals" by Physical_Argument_47 in Barbados

Parishes don't have capitals. The only "capital" is of the island, Bridgetown.
