No House Go
Well the house we were stalking is on the NO list now. Our friends can't rent it. They want to sell, and we can't afford to buy. POOPy! However, it was mentioned to Jon yesterday that the very first one of their properties we looked at about a year and a half ago (or more) may become available for rent with the option to buy. (This is the one that had some need for repairs, but had a very favorable visual, layout and space.) It's probably $1k/mo too.. but no numbers have been shared with us.
We drove around last night looking for desirables in the area we like. We found 2.. one being way out of our price range, I found after calling for info today. The other I suspect to be the same, but am waiting to find out about it on Monday.
It's looking more and more like in order to find something with the space we need, we can only afford dumps.. or nice places in dumpy neighborhoods. *Steam!*
If only I could put up with our current situation for another year or 2, so we can pay off our student loans, then save up for a friggin' down payment for a good house in a good 'hood with the right amount of space for our needs... BUT I CAN'T! It's so frustrating! We could probably cut the wait considerably if we could save more on all the gas I use up for my stupid drive every day. Boy what we could save if I worked from home all the time.. minus what we'd need to spend on internet that works good. At least we're getting a break on rent this month from having a hole in our shower... encouraging?
