I need a house
So me and my future housemates for next year have been trying to find a house for over 2 months. This process has been one of the most frustrating things that I've ever had to deal with. Last year it was a piece of cake, I didn't do anything. Someone else found the house and all I had to do was sign my name and write a check.
This year, we've gone through 4 houses. The first house we found was awesome and would have been a great place to live. It even had a basketball hoop in the back (I don't play basketball but it's a plus). We didn't get it cause the landlord was in the middle of a divorce and his wife was getting control of the house. She had already decided that she was going to give it to a bunch of stupid girls and not us.
The next house we wanted was owned by the nicest landlord in the world. Instead of renting it to the six of us who were ready and willing to put down money, he decided to rent it to the 4 people who had called him first despite the fact that they're only going to pay 4/6 the full price.
Later we found a decent house with 7 bedrooms for the 6 of us and decided that we could all live there. But instead of signing the house right then and there we decided to wait and see if we could get a cool house with a horrible lease that started in August. We were retarded and held out on signing a lease on the OK house to see if other people would pass up the house with the weird lease and let us have it. This was on our part a huge tactical error and in the end we didn't get the house and when we tried to get our backup it had already been taken.
So basically the housing process it impossible with 6 people that all want something different. We've got a house lined up now and hopefully I don't jinx us with this. Why couldn't we just have found this house that we're going to sign 2 months ago. It would have made my life so much easier. Maybe this who thing is just a learning process that really sucks.
What I failed to mention earlier were all the crappy houses and retarded landlords we had to deal with before even finding these 4 houses. Finding housing sucks and I hope that I learn from the experiences this year.
