Long story short, I’ve been looking for an affordable rental where I will not have to uproot my youngest from his school and sport teams for quite some time. It’s near impossible to find a rental in the district (out of towners recently came in and bought all of the properties up to turn into airbnbs-many people have had to move because of this) Anyway, I have an option of an affordable rental but the catch is that the landlord/home owner will live in the apt on the first floor of the house. I am a little hesitant and anxious about it as he has done some weird stuff with my friend who is moving out to a bigger place. But putting that aside out of desperation, how has your experience been if you’ve had shared housing like this? I have a tendency to go straight to negative, anything bad that can happen will with any new changes in my life, and under a little life stress etc. so just trying to get some clear-headed perspective.
