Josh and I went to his cousin's housewarming party yesterday afternoon. She's moved to this adorable townhouse. It's two story, about 1000 sqft. 2 bedroom, 1 1/2 bath, with washer/drying hook up, central air and heat, front and back patio. I fell in love with it! And it's in a very good part of town. AND she's getting it for a steal ($550 a month).
So, the apartment next to hers is for rent. Josh and I have been looking to move for awhile now. The apartment we currently live in is about 700sq ft, no washer/dryer, and terrible terrible maintenance people. We have had nothing but problems since day one. And we're paying far too much ($515).
I asked Josh what he thought about the idea and he pretty much refused! He said he would never live next to family. Now, he loves his cousin, as do I, but he feels like it would just make him feel obligated to always be over there. I really don't think it would be that big of a deal. Say hi as you pass each other, borrow some sugar, not a big deal,
. I really LOVE this apartment. It's just perfect.
So, what do you think? Anybody live next to family and have bad experiences? Any ideas how to convince him otherwise,
?
