I have decided to try to buy a house
My lease is up on 5/31, which means that I have to give 60 days notice by 4/2, and the lease renewal options aren't very attractive. As of right now (the prices change weekly) a regular lease which is 10+ months will mean a rent hike of 9%, a short term lease which is at least 6 months costs an additional $50, and -- get this -- month-to-month rent is "market value" plus $200 which is over 50% increase!
So, it is time for me to do some serious homework. I guess the first step is pre-approval for a mortgage to see what my price range is, and then meet with a realtor to start looking at places. I'm so excited!
