We've gotten quite tired of being cramped up and having half our stuff in boxes in storage and decided that we wanted to rent a house. The thing is that when you crunch some numbers, you end up paying as much (or more) to rent the house as you would on a mortgage. Despite the market being kind of risky down here (you buy stuff for really cheap, but if you have to sell anytime soon, you might end up selling for less than you paid), we decided to at least explore buying a house as an option. We talked to someone in the real-estate business that my mother-in-law's realtor friend knows and got hooked up with a finance person who said we were pre-approved for $220,000 based on our credit, job history, etc. We wouldn't buy that much house, but it's nice to know we can get something. We hooked up with a realtor and we're going to start looking probably this weekend.
So we will be moving once again, but hopefully this time it will be to a place where we're going to stay, and on where it's not so cramped we have stuff laying on every flat surface, even with half our stuff in storage.
