GENERAL INFORMATION: Now I can save you when I turn on your Power


Low or No Deposits and Great Rates

Let me give you a quote for power when you call to give me your apartment number. The company I use, Ambit Energy, is often much lower in terms of their deposit and rates.

One of my clients was quoted $225 for a 1 bedroom apartment by their prior provider and Ambit turned their power on for $70.  I'm seeing rates at less than $.10 a kilowatt hour in  DFW or $.107 in Houston. And if the 

Ambit usually charges from $0 to $200 for an apartment and if your deposit is one of the larger ones, you can split the deposit into 2 payments.

Call me at 832-303-3002 or click here for my Ambit Site.

GENERAL INFORMATION: Rules Tightened in 2011

Just this year (2011) it seems that rules are tightening

I've had a place in DFW that used to take some felonies at 2 years, change to 5 years.

I've had a chain that is in most of the metros in Texas, change from considering some felonies at 7 years, to move the bar to 10 years.

Does this mean that there are no good apartments left?  No, it just means that you need my help more than ever because there are fewer and fewer places.

Just submit a FIND MY TX APARTMENT FORM on my website: www.AptFindFelons.com.  If you would like to speak to me or don't have a computer available to you, you can call me at 832-303-3002.

P.S. I'm the only apartment finder in Texas, that I know of, that concentrates his business on helping people with criminal issues in DFW (Dallas - Ft Worth), Houston, Austin, and San Antonio.

Your need an Apartment Locator SPECIALIST

If you needed Heart Surgery, 
would you go to your Family Doctor?

No, you would go to a Cardiac Surgeon with a great reputation.  If you are looking for an Apartment and you have a Felony, Deferred Felony, Serious Misdemeanor, or any serious criminal issue, you need an apartment locator specialist.

Like me. I specialize in these issues.  I have a database that helps me handle the following:

  1. Felony charges (or pending felonies)
  2. Deferred Adjudications for a Felony offense (both on and off probation)
  3. Felony convictions
  4. Serious Misdemeanors (serious meaning Class A or Class B)
  5. Pardons of felony charges
  6. Charged with a felony and found NOT GUILTY
  7. Other Criminal issues that are getting you rejected at apartments
I can help with just about everything except for Sexual Offenses. If you need my services, complete a FIND MY TX APARTMENT form on my website:  www.AptFindFelons.com - it is a free service to you (I bill the apartments).

GENERAL INFORMATION: An Answer To a Social Agency's Question

Question: Can I get a List of "Felony Apartments" 
To Help Our Clients With Their Housing Needs"

Answer: It isn't that easy. My service is free to your clients and they can certainly go to my website www.AptFindFelons.com and fill out a FIND MY TX APT FORM for the city they want - example HOUSTON.

One of the biggest myths out there is that there are apartments that take ALL FELONIES. That isn't true. There are some that will take, for example, Possession but won't take Manufacturing or Delivery, some that will take violent felonies but won't take drug felonies, or ones that will take most felonies after a certain time frame.

In order to place a client, I have to pull their criminal and match their record up at over 7,500 apartment complexes in my database. I also look by number of bedrooms, price, area, ISD, etc.

It is only through the use of my enhanced database that I can meet the needs of felons. 

NOTE: to assist anyone with apartment placement in the State of Texas, you must be a licensed Real Estate Agent. So I'm not sure if you would be in violation of the law by trying to do this within your Agency without using a Real Estate Agent.

GENERAL INFORMATION: Biggest Myth in finding Felony Apartments

There is NO SUCH THING as an Apartment for All Felons

I get one or two line e-mails all the time asking me to send a list of apartments in an area of town that will rent to felons.

It doesn't work that way.

Apartments have rules, even the ones that rent to felons have rules. The rules are usually by "crime and time". In other words, they have rules based on the type of felony and how long it has been since either the commission of the crime or date of conviction before they will take a felon.

If you have a sexual felony - forget about it. If you have a violent felony, there will be few choices. Same with a manufacturing or delivery felony. If you felony was 2 years ago, there will be fewer choices than if it was 12 years ago or 8 years ago.

Crime and Time is the rule.
