D: Of course! Do you have a specific property in mind?
K: No, not yet.
D: No problem. First question: do you know which city you’d like to live in?
K: Well, I work in Las Vegas, so somewhere in Las Vegas would be fine
D: Sure, and… Are you looking to rent just for yourself?
K: I’m planning to live with my family.
D: So, a two-bed?
K: Right, one for me and my wife and one for my two kids
D: What is your buget like? You don’t have to be exact, but if you could give me a range, that would be
helpful.
K: As cheap as possible, please because my budget is a family buget. You know
D: I see… Well, two-bedroom flats are generally around eight to twelve hundred a month at the lower
end.
K: Hmmm… OK.
D: One more important question: are you looking for a furnished place?

off-street parking? Do you want a garden?
