New Place

[Muffin]

Hey all!

I know this is not ren related, but wanted to get this on the MN board somehow.. Feel free to remove or delete it...

Bacardi and I are on the hunt for a new place to live as of June 1st!

Looking for a house (preferably - would consider a townhome or duplex, no apartments though), would like 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, but will work with what we got...

Would like to keep the rent in the $1200 range if possible...

If anyone hears of anything can you let us know!

Thanks!!

  If your going to Rent that high you might as well buy a house.

[Sitara]

That is more than double my mortgage payment.  What area are you guys looking at?

[Muffin]

I know it would be smarter to buy, but I don't know that (I) we are in a financial position to do so....

We have a pretty broad area we are looking in around the cities.. As far as NW as Monticello/Big Lake, North - Brooklyn Center, Coon Rapids, etc.., South - Prior Lake, Chaska, Shakopee, and Apple Vally, Eagan, etc..

Holy crap...that IS my payment.  For a 2 bed/1bath.  I need to move to WI...

We bought a foreclosed home so our purchase price was only$58,000. Awesome deal for 2 lots,  2000 sq ft and a 3 car garage.

I do not know your exact situation (dwn pmt, etc) but a possible consideration over buying or renting...contract for deed.  Many townhomes are offering this, including some stand-alones in my neck of the woods (Rogers).  No doubt there are similar offerings all over town.  A good option for many, something to consider.

Good luck!

I'm not sure what she's got it listed at, but my neighbor across the street just put her townhouse on the market this week.  While Hugo wasn't in your list of areas, its closer to the cities than Monticello, so .. yeah.

Yepper, it is way cheaper in WI. Even here in south side of Milwaukee my mortgage is half that for a three bedroom ranch

[Marietta Graziella]

Yeah... don't ask us what our mortgage payment is.  LOL

I vote you find something up here Rogers, Monticello, ELK RIVER, area!!! 

Remember, Northstar commuter rail coming in soon.  Direct run to downtown Mpls.  Easy commute.  Home cooked meals with MG.  Hey, how did that get in there?!?

Hee hee!!! We are definitely keeping our eyes open for any place that will get us closer to our friends!! Of course all you kids are spread out in so many different directions, we've got to win somewhere!!

[Leyla]

I vote northern suburbs also! 

That's quite a wide range of territory you guys are looking at. Aren't you worried about the drive to work? 

[Muffin]

We're checking out a place in Coon Rapids on Monday.. 

yes and no on the drive to work... It's really great right now being in SLP, 10 miles to work for me.. but there is nothing really around this area that has what we are looking for that isn't WAY expensive!! So I'd rather drive a little bit farther to work and have a big yard to come home to!!

[Tarac]

  I like it up here in Anoka nice and quite.Too bad our neighbor is selling his house,

[Random Girl]

THere are some decent houses in Robbinsdale for rent , or to buy that are only about $75k.  I'd be buying right now if I had the credit.
