MAHH Part 2

A lot has happened since my last post. Had a couple more MAHHs and then went to Mornington Peninsula for the long weekend. I'll try to write about it all tonight.

Thursday

Thursday turned out to be more of a bust than anything. D & I left our respective works early, just like we did last Wednesday. We had 6 to 7 houses on our list that day.

House #8 turned out to be a non entity. It was keys in office so we went to the agent's office (which was not too far from my work) to get them. The house was located a few suburbs away but since there was another place that had keys in office near House #8's agent's office, we decided to kill two birds in one stone.

We got the agent but the keys were NOT in office. Apparently, a tradesman had come earlier that day to pick up the keys as he was going to do some work on it. He was going to hold the keys for a week. TCH.

We decided to scrap House #9 as we weren't all that keen to see it and we were only picking up the keys as it was on the way.

House #10 was keys in office as well, but guess what? Keys were NOT in office. The owner took back the keys as they were planning to do some repairs on the house. Story of the day.

House #11 was, luckily, keys IN office and from the same agent as House #10. D really liked this place. It was huge, older style, heaps of storage, and seemed to work. No dishwasher but we thought we could put one in the separate laundry room.

We immediately filled out the application forms. We had just left the agent's office and on our way to submit our application for House #5 when D got a call from the agent. He wanted to show us another property in the area.

So we met him at House #12. He proceeded to give us the hard sell for the apartment. It was only a 2 bedroom so we thought it a bit small for our needs.

He also gave us a background on House #11. It was going to direct to landlord, meaning we would have to deal with the landlord on rent, maintainance and other issues. Apparently, no tenant has lasted the full 12 month term on this property. Something to do with the landlord. Which was not good news at all. Also, he said that other applicants had offered more for the place and he suggested we match their offer. As the place was already at the maximum of our budget, we told him we'd keep our application to the asking price. But we knew we wouldn't have much of a chance with that. We didn't want to be paying more for a place with a landlord that could prove problematic.

On the way to the next place, we dropped off our application for House #5.

House #13 was a bit too small for us.

House #14 was a pretty spacious 2 bedroom apartment but it was still just a 2 bedroom.

Throughout the day, I was bleeding quite profusely. More than usual. Way more than usual. I actually felt dizzy by the end of the MAHH.

We still had to go to our last spanish class so off we went after having a bit of a rest at home.
