This isn't exactly about parenting, but I'm not sure who I should be asking for references, and I know a lot of you ladies live in south Mpls and various parts of St Paul.
We're starting to seriously consider buying our first house before the rates get too high again. I'm not planning to work once this baby comes and my husband's still a student, so we're not exactly brimming with mortgage dollars. We do have a decent down payment due to parental generosity back when the market was soaring. For the amount we're able to pay every month, our choices are going to be pretty limited, and I figure a good real estate agent who can lead us to the hidden steals might be necessary to find a place. It seems like we can buy for the amount we currently pay for rent, and we're getting tired of dealing with landlady weirdness. I'd love to live near Minnehaha Park or within walking distance of one of the Mpls lakes, but any safe neighborhood (in Mpls, St Paul, or first ring suburbs) with friendly people would be doable, as long as it's on a busline. We're a one-car household, and dh has to drive to Shoreview every day.
Does anyone have any agents or advice for me? I think you can email me through the PM's here, or amyrobynne@hotmail.com works too if you don't want to post here. Help!
