For all the talk about SF being a great start-up culture, what's true everywhere is still true here: No one wants a roommate who can't make rent. Damn near every place I went to with a photocopy of my job offer did I get offered a spot. Try getting something in paper from the company you're working for and bringing that to some open houses. I got much better responses from that tactic than bringing beer or nothing at all.
