We fell in love with TV in 2005 and after 7 visits and looking at homes online almost nightly, we have found a home we love and are thinking about making the plunge and renting until we can get down. I'm a little nervous about that as it was not my original plan of attack.

We were planning on a turn-key, but the home we like is not furnished, so having it furnished and all the things we will need to rent has got me a little concerned and cautious. I keep telling DW we will find our home when the time comes where we can get down. Her mom is living with us now and at 91 she isn't sure she can make the trip down.

My point is that if you aren't prepared to cover dual expenses (for months your place doesn't rent), you may have to "bite your lip" like I'm doing and hold off making the plunge. If finances are not an issue, then go for it.

All the best and good luck with your decision.
