House hunting
rentals not to buy, at least not yet. I looked on craigslist again this morning/afternoon. Geez louise there sure are a lot of houses for rent up in Portland as well as apartments. I'm feeling pretty confident that even if we get stuck living somewhere that isn't our ideal, things will still be okay. I've sent some initial emails out and tonight I plan on going through and doing the dreaded calling. Why dreaded you ask? Well, quite simply put, I've never done this before, like ever! I'm so out of my element, out of my comfort zone. I mean, give me a vendor to call and tell we aren't paying them this week, I can handle it no problem. Give me an employee who needs me to call the insurance administrators to find out why some one has been dropped, I've got it covered. Ask me to call someone in another state about a house I can't even look at, and I don't even know where to begin. What do I ask? Most of the questions I would have are in the ads, other than physically looking at the place. I'm mostly concerned with number of bedrooms, square footage, is it okay to have cats? Those are the questions I have. Let me play the part of damsel in distress, hmmm (clears throat), "Oh won't somebody out there tell me what I should ask about when I call these people? I'm so naive and innocent(hahahaha) I need help!"
Can anybody heed this call?
