spookyeviloneIf anyone in MN is looking for a nice 3br house with a full basement and 2 car garage to rent, the house I'm living in will be available in September, possibly sooner. $1300/mo and landlord pays water/sewer/trash. It's in Northeast, between Central and University and within a block of two major bus lines in one direction and about 6 blocks from another set of bus lines in the other direction. There's a nice park about three blocks away, the neighbors are wonderful and the neighborhood is quiet. Walking distance to tons of restaurants/shopping. Feel free to pass the news on.
I'm doing the house buying thing, and anticipate closing around September, possibly earlier. I'm thinking about having a garage sale this weekend to get rid of all the clutter. I may or may not be that motivated, and it may wait until next weekend.
It's scary, looking at houses. Some of the houses are.. well, terrifying in their decrepitude. It's apparently a wonderful time to buy, since the market just crashed again from the small upswing it took in April. There are tons of decent sized houses under $100k in the areas I want to live in. Some of them are scary, some are nice. My worry is that I'll find one I like and go through hell getting a mortgage.
It's also kind of sad in an amusing way that I've gone from "I don't care if it has a garage" to "MUST HAVE an attached garage" .. so I have somewhere to store the chickens in winter that's not in the main area of the house.
Also.. if any of you have bad credit and are looking for a secured card to rebuild, UltraVX Visa is not a bad deal. I've used MetaBank for years and found their cards to be reasonable. I just updated my Money Network card to the UltraVX so I'll have a card that reports to the credit bureaus.
bleh.
