We went to KC to look for housing last weekend. Our intention was to search for homes for rent, but everything we looked at for rent was very much a rent house. We decided to go ahead and look at homes with a lease option, but even most of those were in poor condition.

Lo and behold, the last house we looked at turned out to be actually amazing. Great, manicured, well-kept, upstanding stable neighborhood; brick; privacy fence; deck; wide-open basement; etc. We put in an offer, went back and forth a few times, and finally agreed with the seller on a contract.

As long as everything goes well with inspections, we will take possession on November 23.
