I would really recommend against lendingtree.com. Or use it to look but Don’t give them your email address or phone. I used them a few years back and was attacked by lenders within minutes of finishing my request. It would have been fine, I didn’t get the quality of offer, or quality of lender I requested. So I decided to stop. But they just kept coming. I rejected all offers, stopped answering my cell, and started marking the emails as spam. I ended up having to call lending tree to have them take down my request. Only then, did the calls and emails start to taper off.

In my experience Lendingtree.com is like chumming the water: It only attracts sharks.

love the blog!

I have friends renting a little house for only $650/month. It’s got 2 bedrooms, a living room, a kitchen, a yard, and a basement. Oh, and a full bath. Bigger than my little apartment for $733/month. Of course, theirs is in greater Harrisburg, PA and mine is in DC Metro.

I totally agree with thinking small.

Mr. Micah and were given almost all our furniture, whatnots, and now we have enough to live quite comfortably. We don’t have to worry about furnishing a big place. Maybe at some point we’ll be able to afford artwork, even. Plus I spend 8 hours a day at the office and another 2 commuting. So why have a huge place? (no kids yet)

I got a better option than renting. Buy the smallest house on the smallest bit of land you can get. In my city, you can rent at $850 a month, or you can by a condo at as little as $50k at the apartment size. With principle, interest, taxes, association dues, and insurance, you can come in at $450-$500 a month (and build equity)

The match from BoA is great advice! When I buy a house, I will need to remember to do this. It goes to show doing something simple can help save so much money down the road.
