A Very Interesting Change of Events
Ryan and I went to Old Chicago tonight, that's not really news I guess... I was supposed to go out with the guys from work tonight for cheap beer and Coney dogs, but they put it off until next week when we get paid... anyway. We found a really nice place to rent, and it's really nice and HUGE, but... he wants first and last month's rent plus a deposit... Well Becky and Ryan, my roommates, don't have that kind of money to just throw out there, so we saw a couple of places tonight that we okay... and... well... I'm just really frustrated right now because we don't have much time left and we really haven't seen anywhere else that really fits... The places we saw tonight were... okay, so we'll see...
Anyway, in my frustration I called my old landlord. I was actually really lucky to even get ahold of him because he's moving and has his phone set up to be disconnected. So I asked him if he had any rental places left, and I'm pretty sure I'm pretty lucky because he's trying to sell all his places (I think there's only two...) because he's moving out of town. I really don't think he would rent to anyone else, but since the housing market in Duluth has been so slow, and he likes me so much (cause I'm such a wonderful person) he showed us the places and is willing to rent to us.
One of the places was REALLY nice, and in a good place, close to school. It even had air conditioning! But, as nice as a place as it was, the other place is a STEAL! Okay, so the down side is it's in "West" Duluth., but really it's barely, and it's actually in kind of a secluded, private area, it's actually the house he's been living in. There's a "designated" park nearby that no one apparently uses because it's not really developed. It has a really nice private yard, and a HUGE garage that would fit both my four-wheelers and two cars, and has an electric opener. The house is a good size, has a separate dining room and an eat-in kitchen that's really nice and has a dishwasher. The bathroom is really nice and there's laundry. The front side of the house has an awesome lake view. To top it off, it's one of the cheapest places we've looked at and it has a high efficiency heater that the landlord says makes it the cheapest house he's ever lived in. And the best part is I know he's a great landlord! So, I think we've pretty much made up our minds (even though none of us have said it exactly, I know we're all thinking it) and should hopefully have it all worked out by the end of the week. It feels really good and I think we're all really excited.
