I know you'd rather not move, but have you thought of just buying a house? Especially if you're already paying so much for rent.

Going over $2k/month in Lakeside for a 3/1 that isn't remodeled seems high... But something is worth what someone is willing to pay.

Yes we have been considering it. It seems like the market has cooled down and right now isn’t the worst time to buy. Our hold up is that there is a potential for our jobs to be finished here this winter or next summer so we were already on the fence about signing another year lease. If we buy we’d only be in it for max two years and then we would be renting it out too! Not sure we want to take on the pain of it but it’s hard paying someone else’s mortgage.

And if you have your own rental, you could continue the tradition of BS fees, or be the cool landlords you wish you had. Haha

If you're interested in looking at buying, feel free to send me a message. I'm a licensed Realtor. I have extensive knowledge of Lakeside. (I manage 3 rentals in there too, but we charge more fair rent so nobody is even thinking of moving out!)
