We just found out a little bit ago that our renters will be out by the 1st of August. This is a little scary as this will be our first time trying to find renters from a distance. (It was a little scary trying to find renters even when we were still in NJ, but we found some quickly, and since we already knew them, that helped quite a bit.)
When we joined the Air Force and moved to NJ, it was the height of the housing boom in 2006. Renting a place for a family our size cost as much as a mortgage. Plus, we were in a 1 bedroom temporary housing facility for 1 month and were told it would be another month before anything on base would open up for us. Thus, we bought. We knew in 2 or 3 years we would have to sell or rent. Of course now, we're at the bottom of the market. Yay. So the only way we'd break even by selling is if we do a 'for sale by owner'. So we're trying to do either; which ever happens first.
I pray that the Lord will help us. Even though we have a bit extra every month, we don't have enough to pay a mortgage and rent for more then a couple of months. And being the planner that I am, once I know that there is a change coming, I like to get everything worked out as much as possible. So this is going to drive me crazy until we hear from some people who are interested, since there really is nothing else I can do until then. Grumble grumble.
Oh well.
*Just thought I'd show a couple pictures of the house. I messed with the pictures a little and now some of them look a little squished, but you get the idea. The rooms are actually bigger then they look. :o)
