I am also starting to shop, I want to be out of my house (and have it sold) by september, I decided buying a house was a bad idea, it makes me feel like I am permanently stuck in VA... I am looking for good property (read: nice area and neighbors) good location for around 800 a month for a 2 bed 2 bath or a nicer bigger 2 bed 1 bath. preferably ghent or bayview, or close to downtown and base....
