Thank you for your input, I am considering this but want to be prepared in advance to know where to look for and be pre qualified to have a smoother transition when we find a place we like.

In fairness, and this is before the interest rate jump, I was totally in the same camp. But rentals here are expensive and it was almost the same price to buy as to rent.
