Any input appreciated.
Just rent for a short term, like 2 months in a neighborhood where you think you might want to buy. While renting, look all around for a home to buy. I'd rent in Oct-Nov when rent is lower priced, and weather is perfect.

Rent money that way is a good investment in educating yourself. You'll also learn not to move 90% of your stuff from past home. Learn to live with less stuff. It is liberating.
