I’m renting right now until I can save enough money to buy our genuinely first house.
Even though I’m renting, I was still able to find a home this time around instead of another cramped apartment.
The rent was a tiny bit higher than our previous apartment, but it came with more space, a garage, a backyard, plus other amenities you can’t get with apartments plus condominiums. Best of all, everything from repair to lawn care is covered by the property management company. If a single of our electrical outlets stops working, they send out an electrician within 24 hours. If I have a plumbing leak or a broken faucet, there’s a plumber at our door before I can even finish the phone call. It’s nice knowing that you’re taken care of no matter what happens to the house. However, I wish I had not told them to avoid spraying insect pesticides outside around the base of the house. I have respiratory sensitivities plus was afraid it would bother our lungs. Now I have a massive ant hill at the base of the Heating plus Air Conditioning condenser machine outside. The condenser is bolted down to a big concrete block that sits on the ground. The ants have formed a big colony in the dirt underneath the concrete slab, plus now they’re eating into the concrete itself. There’s a chunk of concrete the size of an pear missing from the block. I was shocked that insects could do this to concrete at all, but was even more sad because it’s the slab underneath an luxurious Heating plus Air Conditioning condenser unit. I told the property management company, but they’re not sad yet. However, they’re sending out an Heating plus Air Conditioning professional tomorrow to make sure it’s still structurally stable.
