[QUOTE="klmno, post: 535151, member: 3699"] Good point, DJ. We looked at a place in the other county today. I noticed an ad yesterday that looked out of my price range at first, until I noticed that utilities were included. It's a very big house but one end has been separated to be an apartment and the basement is another apartment. We'd be getting the main part. Then, since we didn't need the barn (yes, you read that right), they came down $200 from the listed rent. That makes it doable. I'd be driving 30-40 mins to work and E would be on a bus 30 mins to get to/from school. This is so he can go to a school where he could still go for the advanced diploma. I had told him I'd make the sacrafice if he would, as long as he's showing that effort. He wants this place. It has more rooms than we need but since the price is right and they are paying utilities and I can shut the rooms off that we don't need, this sounds like a winner. Oh- they have their own farm and petting zoo and E has already told him he could work for them if the need some help. (Their farm is only 1-2 miles away). There are 2 other houses on my list we couldn't get shown to us this weekend but we drove by and they look perfect, too. I'm hoping I can hold these people offf until we can get back up here and have something else to compare it to. But, on the other hand, this is the closest one to my work and it seems like a possible way in for E to get a job working with different types of animals. Oh- the people in the basement apartment are a single mom with a 17yo son. That can be good or bad, right? (We didn't meet them today.) [/QUOTE]
