You can read part 1 here.
a) the landlord would back out, and we'd be left hanging.
b) I just knew I wanted to back out/move on.
So I won. We got out of the situation before it got any uglier than it did and we backed out of house number 1.
I felt such a sense of relief. I was way excited to look at house (duplex) number 2 on Saturday.
You guys. This place? It's adorable. It's not as large as the first house (that's okay with me!) and it's only one story (even better news). The best part though? It's brand spanking new. As in, they haven't even put the finishing touches on it. We looked at it on Saturday and they were in the process of hanging up wood blinds, and mirrors in the bathroom.
I love shiny new things.
We submitted the application yesterday, now we are just waiting to hear back. The new! realtor told C that she would have us in by the middle of the month. She seemed to 'approve' us before we even turned in the paperwork.
So I'm trying not to get my hopes up. Surely since we'd already been approved for a house (which had a higher rent) then we'll be approved for this one.
A few things I love about the new place-
1. It's on a quiet cul d sac. We'll only have one neighbor that shares a wall with us. The master bedroom/kitchen walls. The garages separate the two living rooms. That should help with the surround sound issue (we've had issues with neighbors in the past with loud TV's). Ahem.
2. The kitchen. It's cute. See?
3. Brand new everything. No one has ever sat on the toilet seats, or parked in the garage. I love that. I'm weird.
4. NO CARPET. Tile throughout the entire place. Jaycie is not going to know what hit her when she doesn't have any carpet to mess with.
5. Lower rent, no second story to air condition in the summer ($$), and the back yard is a great size!
Please say a quick prayer that this thing works out for us. If not, we don't have a plan C!
