I have really been calling and emailing about places. We looked at a trailer today which was in a safe neighborhood, but only outside dogs, and the landlord lived next door and says he's there all the time! I couldn't leave our dog out in the freezing or rainstorms and stuff. But otherwise it was really nice and fenced. I'm looking at 2 more places tomorrow. Both of those are 2 bedroom, but the one is 1100 square foot so maybe that one will almost be big enough. I'm just going to have to get this place for hopefully short-term and then can afford a 3 bedroom maybe in a year or 2.
One place is a guest cottage, and the landlord lives in the main house. It has a fenced backyard and allows pets and its only $400. The other is a cabin in the woods on 3 acres, 1100 sq. ft., and is $650 & sounds nice. The last place said no pets, but I called and just said how about a pet deposit then? (Something I never would have done 1 or 2 years ago!) He had talked to me for a couple minutes, so he said yes! That one has a guest cottage on it also (popular in this area I guess) and he said his wife's son lives in that, he's in his 40's and an artist!!! (Meant to ask if he's tall) And I said no problem you can already tell I'm a talker, so I'd love that! He laughed. When I told him my name he groaned & said oh, that was my 1st wife's name who he was married to for 20 years!!! I said I totally understand that!!! Karen
