Searching

We have been looking the last few weeks/months for a place to call home. Searching for a location around the state has been difficult. On one hand we love town we are in; on the other we want to move closer than 3 hours from a certain location. Can we find someplace that has both? The town atmosphere from the location we are currently and the closeness to the other location we want to be?

Having said that, there is 1 requirement that I have to have high speed internet for work. Outside of that we love the idea of an old style farm house on acreage. We have been looking at a 3 prong approach to the finding someplace. Option 1) Find a house for sale we like, 2) Find a piece of land to build a house on (we have a great layout/plan in mind for the house/garage, or 3) Find a place to rent until we do either 1 or 2. Why a new place to rent? Well, the price of rent. 

Have I mentioned that I hate house hunting or that we are waiting on a document from an office for the lender and the office that is responsible for it has messed it up 3 times and each time it has to be re-requested and it takes 7-10 business days to get it back? And without that single document we will not know if we can even purchase yet?

Only time will tell where we... land...
