Nice house!  Are you getting it with that nice furniture, or is that the current owner's or realtor's?

Good luck!  I've warned all my friends and relatives in FL that you're coming -- you should have heard the ching-changs as they locked and loaded.

Some of you know about last weeks drama......for the rest of you, here is the update.

The house is/was handled by a management company. They took our application, approved it, took our deposit and rent, everything set to go. Utilities setup, move lined up, etc. It wasn't until last week that we learned they hadn't bothered to talk to the owner, and when they did, our move in was cancelled. The initial excuse was that they didn't want to take pets (despite having charged us double the pet deposit) In the end I learned the truth was that the house is already in forclosure. So with the closing on our current house set for next Monday, and having no where to go, we had a major last minute change of plans.

We are now moving to Sarasota. It's where we wanted to be all along, but things just hadn't worked out right. But the house mess pushed us to try harder. We found a great house in Sarasota, and Becky landed an even better job there. This house is owned free and clear, and I'm dealing with the owner directly. Hopefully there won't be any further issues.

As a bonus, it's in the Fios area. By this time next week I'll be sitting on a 20x20 connection.....for less than I'm paying for DSL.
