Last weekend when we decided to ditch the broker and take things into our own hands, we saw a one bedroom in a nice building right around the block called The Mango. Well, we harrassed the leasing agent, got an application, and found out yesterday that our application was approved.
In case you're not fully understanding what this means....I think we found a place! I'm not going to be definitive until the lease is signed, and even then I probably won't believe it until we're moved in, but the application was approved and the lease is being sent to us. Congrats to us!
The application process was a little scary though. I talked to people who have bought houses and their mortgage application process wasn't this intense, and they're borrowing hundreds of thousands of dollars! We had to fill out some paperwork, include references, tax returns, letters of employment, a letter from our landlord, pay stubs, bank statements...it was just insane. For a whole day we didn't hear back from the leasing agent and we were convinced that she had stolen our identities and we'd never hear from her again. Obviously that didn't happen, but with the amount of info we had to send her, the thought definitely crossed our minds.
Now the process begins of packing, finding movers, buying new stuff, decorating, etc, and as stressful as that sounds, I'm pretty excited about doing all of it. At the least, the packing will make us finally go thru all of the shit we've accumulated and maybe we'll finally throw some shit out. We'll probably donate all those extra clothes that we always say we're going to donate but that are still sitting in the closet.
Wish us luck and we'll keep you updated along the way...if anyone is actually reading this.
