Househunting sucks..but we pulled through!

We've been so busy househunting and i forgot how painful it is! We sold our place and have decided to go back to renting for a bit and maybe buy a block of land and build a new house in 12mths time. So well, we needed to find a roof over our head and since we're not too fuss with where we rent, we had about 10 suburbs to choose from! Just driving ard all the suburbs to check out houses every weekend was very painful and taking the toll on us and the idea of buying instead popped up a few times but we persevered. It's not the right time to buy so we won't be buying!

Finally...we found a very nice place. Rent is within our budget but instead of 3 bedrooms, we had to settle for a 2 bedroom and no remote garage instead. I suppose there's only 2 of us so we really don't need 3 bedrooms and we drive to work 5 days a week so there's no need for a remote garage since the house is at the back of another house as well so there's no security issues there. The most important thing is the landlord seems nice. I know they all seems nice when they're trying to rent to you but they seem like they are very tolerant and very easy going people.

So hopefully, this will be our new home for at least 3-4 years if possible!
