More houses and stuff
Well, I got quite a few great responses to my post about houses on MySpace, all of which were very, very helpful in looking at the house we were considering. The low-price and rental material was obviously tantalizing to someone since they snatched it up before we could even get in to take a look at it (which is actually a good thing considering there were several houses tens of thousands of dollars higher that we gave a firm "oh my Gawd...NO!" response to and I'm sure that it would not have been an exception). So we're looking at one that is twice the cost, but also twice the house--not necessarily in terms of size but in terms of being ready to move into and fully functional from the get-go.
This is the house that we are currently looking at (as per inspection, mortgage brokering, etc). It's a nice little home that actually will fit all of the stuff we currently have in our roomy apartment (well, our sofa would have to lose its Chaise but that would end up in a reading room so that we can lounge and read all asprawl).
