I'm on hold with IPass here, so I think I'm safe taking a moment or twelve to put things in a non-bulletpointed form ( Read more... )

You might ask Barry how he does it. It's definitely a lifestyle, that's for certain - I could never do it.

His mileage does vary, though and he does survive surprisingly well.

Where are you looking?

Wait... What? Which "it"?

And where? Honestly, I'd be just fine in a 25-miles-tops distance from my work, with a leaning just short of Livermore, just short of Fremont, just short of Fruitvale, and just short of Pleasant Hill.

Ish...;)

He manages to make his house payment by renting out every available space - I think he has five renters right now. (Drove me NUTS when Cliff was living with him...that meant the four of us had an additional five people in the house...no thanks. Can't do it again. Don't wanna.)

So - he can be pickier about employment. He's had to be - with a divorce, child support and general lack of engineering gigs, he's had to make do with a whole lot less for a whole lot longer.

As far as location goes - good luck, and sign up for foreclosure listings.

Take care, you!

Do what's best for you.

The rest of us can take care of ourselves. =D

Good for you. As long as I have known you, you have never taken a proper look at "R" time/needs for any length of time. As one person who looks to others needs much more than their own to another. :)

As far as housing goes, I suspect that you are looking at something temporary before you can get the financing to purchase a house, if that is your goal. The lending market is pretty tight, as an understatement.

I hope you begin to find what it is that you are looking for and if you find your way out East, you know to call me.
