What to do...?

Well I called and cancelled my utility transfers today. I may still get charged for 3 days of electric at the other address since I didn't have 3 days notice to cancel it.

I went and looked at 3 rental houses today. They are asking the same rent for each of them, they all have the same interior floor plan.

#1 new carpet, ceramic tile, a garage door opener has been installed, a wooden frame swingset and a storage shed in the back yard, the back yard backs onto an easement with a back gate leading to it... the fence is in need of repairs in a few places, and there is an old wooden glider swing in disrepair in the back yard as well.

#2 they were installing new ceramic tile in it today so I couldln't actually walk into the house. The yard is as big as #1, but there is another house behind it, no storage shed and I didn't see the garage

#3.. OMG I can't believe they are asking $850 for this after seeing the first two places... there are holes in the drywall, the lt. beige berber carpet is terribly stained, no ceramic tile, in fact the linoleum isn't even the same pattern throughout... the rain gutter leaks, there is NO landscaping at all, and the back yard is much smaller... it IS closer to the nature park.

NOW, the decisions.... I have to get a loan against my annuity in order to be able to move in, but if I want to get the house taken off the market I have to put in an $850 deposit and an application fee (usually about $35)... IF I put down the deposit I'll have about $300 to get me through to next payday... June 20th, or until my annuity check comes in... 10-15 days after the company receives the request in writing. I KNOW that I want to move into a house, I really have a good feeling about the first two house I looked at, in fact they are only about 4 houses away from each other... I'm just trying to figure out the financial logistics and trying to NOT stress out about it. I need to call the realtor back tomorrow and let her know what I want to do...

Comeon Cath be a bit more decisive why don't you!
