To buy or rent, that is the question

Well, we are still not having luck finding a rental. So now we have to decide whether to continue looking or purchase a home. However, I'd still need a place to live for like a month until we can close. I found a house in Mulvane that I really like, but I need to sell Nathan on it. It is old and has tons of character. It has a great front porch, too! However, the back taxes we owe are standing in the way. We have to pay them off before we close on a house. So, still lots more thinking to do.
