I need to vent about this:
"0 properties match your search"
Want to know what my criteria was?
Under $2000/month in rent and 3+ bedrooms.
Is that too much to ask for?
Well.. that's not quite true. There was a nice property with 5 bedrooms in the next town south- IN MEXICO! for $1100/month. I'm pretty sure that commute might be a problem. Not to mention intestinal distress, rouge cops, extortion, and a lovely measles outbreak in the area..
Some were like 1300 square feet and over $2K with.....a swamp cooler. (if you haven't heard of these, I hear that they are a real treat- as great as they sound- they cool your house by adding cool water to the air in your home. Which mixes with the dust you find normally in (non-swap locations like) the deserts that they are used in.. And when this happens you have MUD everywhere in your house. I am not kidding. Like a mud bath everyday for you and all your belongings. And like they say- "it's not the heat, it's the humidity that gets you")
So.. its back to plan A-- bug the snot out of the housing dept/lady when we get there until we get an old house on base without air conditioning.. but one that we can afford. (we're #10 on the list today)
Plan C would be buy a tent and live in that on the beach- weather's nice year round, right? And as an added bonus- we'll have front row seats to the next shark attack AND we'll be away from solid structures in the likelihood of an earthquake..
