OT - may have found the reason it's so hard to find "our" new home
 

Well, DH got a call back on a house we drove by that had a "for rent" sign.
Beautiful BIG house. Sounds like what is happening is: a group of people
are getting together, buying these big houses and renting them out. Of
course, for WAY more than we can ever afford. And no HUD. First, last &
deposit. (like we have that kind of money! $3600?)
AURGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Doesn't anyone ever do anything for the "little
guy"?

But, I'm still hopeful. I just know there's got to be one out there!
Somewhere. Maybe up in the woods, down a loooong driveway and surrounded by
trees? Doesn't even have to be pretty, just bigger! Can I just go find a
big cave in the mountains? Are there any of those left?

Enough whining! My problems, not yours. Just wanted to share. Time to get
away from this computer and do some damage control (and get dinner started)

Later all,

Helen C

I know it seems like you'll never find it but something will come along.

We looked for three years before we found our home. We even had it narrowed
down to the street/condo association. There are only 36 units. We preferred
one with a southern view (about 18 units). And we really wanted one that was
an end unit (6 units). Talk about narrowing the choices.

We got what we wanted - it just took time. And it was worth the time. It's
been 5 years and we still love it here.

*IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII* want details, woman!

2 + bedrooms, 1 and 1/2 baths. Main floor laundry. Woodburning stove
in the
front room. Oversize master bedroom with cathedral ceiling and open beams.
No basement. No garage. Large gardening shed. 12x16 free-standing studio
in backyard. Heated and a/c. 220 outlet for large kiln. Near bus line and
community college (which has a great sculpture studio!) House has
hot-water radiator heat (very cheap to operate) and central air with
hepa filtration. Oh, and extensive gardens that require a renter who
likes gardening.....850/mo.

My first reaction is not suitable for print on a public forum. Would
someone just lift me out of the drool puddle every few minutes so I can
breathe?
