Frustration!

ok, so life, as i have stated in almost every post, life is crazy! school, wedding, friends wedding, it's all so much! Recently Kel and i have been apartment shopping on top of that. I want Kel to move in this summer, we want a six month lease, and six month is perfect for me getting a job in my appropriate time frame, yet enough to sign another six month lease if things dont go as planned. I am honestly very sick of seeing houses, apartments, town houses, and duplexes. I am sick of crunching numbers, thinking of move in dates, changing my mind, spelling nasty old places, and awkward situations with Kel and the realtor.

The biggest problem is that i have standards. I know what i want, i know what it costs, and i know it's out there somewhere! Then out of knowhere, we found it! It's a perfect townhouse, quiet neighbors, garage, two bedrooms, space, a basement, disposal, the works! the landlord is a very nice lady, has a kid in college, and is down to earth. Brand New appliances, small backyard, dog friendly (not sure if that's a pro or con yet) and VERY reasonable and manageable rent. We even got the landlord to drop the price by $200 to fit our budget.

The only problem is that she wants to rent ASAP and can only hold it for us for a small fee for 2 weeks. We were ready to move in around July so that we could save money for the down payment and the first couple months rent. We would have to take out a loan to rent out in June, but for this place it would be worth it! GAH GAH GAH!

So do i wait it out and see if this place stays available until we are ready (very strong chance it will not), or do i take out a loan from where ever, save half as less money this summer, but have the townhouse of my dreams when Kel and i start our lives? such dilemas.
