~House Hunting Begins~

Hey everyone. I hope your having a great day so far. I had a productive morning. I got dishes done, took out the trash, took the cans to the curb, wiped the counters and stove, cleaned off my dresser and the babies are happy and settled. =) I got an email this morning about a home for rent. It's 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms-2,000 sq ft with a fenced yard. It needs some work that my husband can do like painting and a new carpet. It's on the water! It will be around $950 per month, which is less than we are paying now. We are going to look at it within the next few days. Hopefully it works out! There's another house that we need to look at also. 4 bedroom but only 1 bathroom. It's $975 per month. It has a big fenced yard and a sunroom. Hopefully the first house works out, prayers please!!

You know me! Go for the one on the water! I hope it works out for you and doesn't need too much work. Is it on beachfront property?

@DianneN That's the one we want! I hope so too. Any work it needs my husband can do so that's the good thing. The beach is a couple blocks away which is cool with me! =)

It sounds like the one on the water is an exciting prospect for you guys. I would not want one with only one bathroom.

@Gardengerty Yes! I so hope it works out. 1 bathroom doesn't make me happy either...at all.

@infatuatedbby It would be the beach that we are very close to. =) We could swim in it if we want to. It's about 2 blocks away, or we could cut through the neighbors yard but we won't do that. Lol

@infatuatedbby Thank you. Pay is also very different too I'm sure. It usually evens out with pay/cost.

@LovingMyBabies I see what you are saying but there is a certain security in knowing that you own something, and not being at the mercy of someone else. Maybe if you like the house..and it works out maybe down the road you might be able to work something out with the owner. Good Luck!

@snowy22315 Yeah I really want the first one! Our credit would never allow us to rent to own. It's fine though, I like not having everything be our responsibility when things go wrong.

Good luck, I think that only one bath is not enough for your family, you need at least two.

@LovingMyBabies No matter which problem you could have, one bathroom only is not enough even for only two people living under the same roof.

I feel like the first option is way better, cheaper and also the fact that there are 2 bathrooms. Since your kids are getting older, having 2 bathrooms is a must. I remember growing up and 5 of us had to share 1 bathroom because we couldn't use my step mom's bathroom. It was not good haha Hopefully everything works out how it is supposed to!
