It's not that bad yet. I just have to work at it and the time to actually call places is not nigh. I'm aiming for a Nov. 1 move-in date but it's strange -- with the short sale, I don't have to leave the house until the bank actually decides to accept it. This averages three months and so I could play chicken and wait until Dec. 1 to get out. But with limited choices overall, with a dog, with a turtle, with bad credit but a good co-signer, it gets scary.
I'm getting really good at searches though, and I've worked out a few ways to tell which Craigslist entries are scammers. (they take actual realtor listings for the pictures and addresses, and then try to get you to wire them deposit money)
What's also scary is all the shit in my crawl space which I have to throw away somehow. Wow, I probably have to contract for a dumpster to get that done. Shit.
