I just rented a place here in Columbus

[lizziegrace]

Most of the properties I looked at were shown by property managers or people who own a lot of units. They wanted to run a credit report and pay stubs as proof of employment. x( In all the years I've rented or owned a home, I've never been late with a rent or mortgage payment.

I found a house on Craigslist during one of my insomnia episodes. It was built in the 1840's and is in remarkable condition. It's a little bigger than I need but the rent is in line with the city. I take possession on the 15th.

It has a small dorm refrigerator in it now and no washer/dryer. I don't have any appliances. I'll buy them when I can afford to. (The dryer I recently got is natural gas and will be sold. This one has to be electric)

I'm still scared, but I'd worry if I wasn't.

To a new life in a familiar town.
