Decisions, Decisions

Our lease for the apartment is up in March, and we know already we don't want to renew it, so we've kept a good portion of our stuff packed. Now we have to decide where we want to go. Buying a house would be expensive unless we sold our home back in SD, which we're not ready to do yet. We could purchase a manufactured home outright, avoid a mortgage and just pay space rent. Or we could continue to rent somewhere else, where we don't have to deal with brown water and cockroaches (that's right, I've found three so far, coming in from our neighbor's wall). I want whatever is most cost effective, gives Eva a yard to play in, and doesn't require moving every six months. So we're checking out our options and making calls, and took a tour of a mobile home park with a realtor last week.
