I have decided to try to buy a house

[cmeador]

My lease is up on 5/31, which means that I have to give 60 days notice by 4/2, and the lease renewal options aren't very attractive. As of right now (the prices change weekly) a regular lease which is 10+ months will mean a rent hike of 9%, a short term lease which is at least 6 months costs an additional $50, and -- get this -- month-to-month

Buying a house is a good investment! It's a good time to buy a house as well because people want to get rid of their homes and interest rates are really low! Of course I want to sell right now, but I'm gonna hold off!

If you need a real estate agent, I know a great one!

Yeah

It's like a perfect storm of personal factors and a good market. I think it will be great!

I went back to the last nashvillians thread about realtors, it's too bad that we can't tag entries in that community. Some good info has been posted there over the years.
