Rent
So our house is on the market. But it feels ALL WRONG. For one we aren't happy with the price and we know that we wont get what we are asking. We plunked down over 50K when we bought this house and if we sold today at our asking price we wont get but 30K towards a new place when all is said and done. WRONG WRONG WRONG. That's how this feels. SO I just got off the phone with a property management office. We own two homes(this one and another one about 30minutes away that's sat vacant for 2years because we have been too lazy to rent it out ourselves. So we are thinking of renting out both houses and moving to a rental house ourselves in the city we want to move to. Then Shana can get that new job she wants(think $$)we can live where we want to live and wait out the market. Then in a year or two or???? we can decide to sell one or both of these homes and buy a home where we WANT to live. Of course we have all the fears and what ifs about who will rent our homes, will they PAY the rent? Destroy our properties? But deep down this feels MUCH better than trying to sell....sooooooo that's where I am at.

If it doesn't feel right, don't do it. I think waiting is a good idea. I'd rent from you, but I don't think we could afford it, lmao. Find a house you love, rent it, and when it feels right, sell the one or both off.
Renting lets you get to know the area too, without the commitment of buying. The market will pick up again.
would you move down the hill already??????
pout......
rae
