If you rent it short term and allow pets, we will come.
Now that I have a job, we’re on the hunt for a house. They want me to start at the museum during the week of August 9, and our apartment complex wants us to get out of our place here by August 7, so it seems pretty perfect to get moving as soon as possible. As it turns out, house hunting is not all it’s cracked up to be. Too many factors make it difficult for us to find exactly what we want and we’re on such a short time frame that it’s even more stressful.
We want to live in the county where I will work, if at all possible. Unfortunately, this seems to be pretty close to impossible. No one is willing to rent to us in the county with our dog, and besides that, all of the rental properties are apartments without yards and we are definitely looking for a house to live in. Though that stipulation doesn’t seem to matter much at all because not even the apartment complexes will take our pets. We’re also interested in possibly buying, but it will take us more than a few days to get financing together (plus, we would like to see a place before we buy it) and we need to move in August 9. So, we’d ideally like to be able to rent something month-to-month and it would be even better if we could do a super short-term rent to own where we start going on buying a month or two after we move in.
We do have a couple almost-promising leads, so hopefully very quickly I will have some good news and can start day-dreaming about furniture arrangement and interior decorating instead of worrying we’ll be technically homeless come a month from now.
