Hello Austin, my husband and I are moving here next month. My husband just accepted a new job offer. We are going to be renting for the first few months, to give us time to house hunt. Any recomendations on where we should look to purchase a home? We have two small children and one more due in March, so we would love a family friendly neighborhood with good childcare/schooling options. We'd like to find a home under $400,000 if possible. Any suggestions?

I rented a house that had been vacant for a bit & the prior tenant didn’t do a thorough job cleaning up. Agent indicated the owner would be open to having the house cleaned but I would need to have the house professionally cleaned when I moved out (that was fine w me). I just received the bill from the owner for $250, which is super annoying bc there was no expectation communicated that I would foot the bill for this, more so bc the cleaner did a LOUSY job.
