Househunting sucks. We looked at three houses today.
- House # 1 is a 5 minute walk from the University. It’s also a piece of shit. That one got struck off the list pretty quickly.
- House #2 was gorgeous, though I’m still not sure about bus access. Still, it has potential. 2 years old, wood floors throughout, and a kitchen that’s just… *sigh* I want this house. However, it’s a little pricy at $359, 700. The suite is nice, and the whole thing needs little, if any work- a quick cleaning. I could rent out the upstairs for $1200/mo, easily.
- House #3 was not too bad, though it’s nearly 40 years old, and has some issues. It doesn’t have a suite, but is easily “suitable”- for another $10k on top of the $319k price tag. It’s slightly more central, but not enough to really matter. There’s no separate entrance for the suite, and the floors squeak like mad. You might think that I’m being picky, but… I mean, seriously, those are loud floors. On the other hand, the deck is awesome, and overall it’s not too bad. But unlike house #2, I won’t be able to move in right away.
Decisions, decisions…
