Once a home


Nothing lasts forever, you just make the most of it while you can.

Not knowing where I'm going to be living has had my stomach in knots. You'd think with all the tools now available the search would be easier, and in a way it is. You can stay on top of the rental listings, but at the same time it can be overwhelming and depressing to see the dumps that landlords are trying to pass off as "good deals, great location, perfect setting", etc.

All you have to do is use Google Maps and Street View to find out how much the truth is stretched. If you've got a general knowledge of an area it's easy to weed out the rental listings.

It quickly becomes a short list with the good stuff going fast. You have to be on top of your game and hope for the best. So, it may be easier to find and sift through rental listings, but it's harder competing for the places where someone would actually want to live.
