Well, we're going to hold off on buying a home until fall, possibly September/October.
The issue: THE RENT! Where we live, if we break our lease over two months prior to your lease being up, we have to pay what they call a RELET fee. And what that basically is, is 2 months of your rent. Well our rent isn't low, so that would cost us $2K and some change. The more i thought about this one house, and the closing costs, and inspections, and the start ups of this and that, we need our 2K and i just refuse to hand my hard earned money to them when i know in fact it won't cost them 2K to redo our apartment for someone else to move in. My thoughts are this, i do believe in a few months it will still be a buyers market and i believe that something else will come along, maybe a better deal and when i do go to sign papers in the end of November that i will not be renewing my lease, we get to keep our 2K and move out quietly.
Its upsetting to me, but i know in the long run i will be glad that i'm doing it this way.
RENTING SUCKS!

Well, I will tell you what my daddy always said to me, "Twinkie (my nick name), don't worry, things will work out, they always do"
And now look at me. I am buying my parents house!
So, Steph, don't worry, things will work out, they always do!!!
i know TWINKIE! LOL Brian tells me that all the time. I just refuse to give those jerks my hard earned 2K for them to just bank it ya know??
Well everything happens for a reason and maybe it happening this way was telling you this wasn't the house for you and to just be patient and wait. Good things are worth waiting for. But isn't your renewal date up in Feb.?
*singing*
BABY WE CAN DO IT
TAKE YOUR TIME
DO IT RIGHT
WE CAN DO IT BABY...
LOL! Like we talked about...
don't rush, and as Angela says...
everything happens for a reason
when it's time finding the perfect place won't be so hard.
Just think of it this way - it could mean that your perfect house is not ready for you yet!!! Just when Tom and I were about to give up, look at the house we got - it all does work out.
Take some panic pills and relax! LOL!
