I think we are going to sell our house. It is getting to be more than we can afford. Our monthly payment is going up by about $200 (more than we can budget...) Right at the same time our child support will be kicking back in (another couple hundred...) So, We are fixing it up as best we can on a budget. We have actual things to fix before hand...like a new garbage disposal (it hasn't worked in about a year), make the patio nicer with a coat of paint and removing some of the hideous 1970's decor, and some MAJOR decluttering.
I am debating going with a reator TEAM or with my friend that was the one that got me into real estate school, I am rooting for her. She is always having open houses, our kids are friends, and she's a fellow military wife. I think she would do good. But then I got a flyer for this REMAX rel estate team, that just sold their second house in our neighborhood, while about 10 other houses are still sitting. I was thinking about them, since they have more people to delegate to and can get more accomplished.....I am gonna have to wait until Mike gets home to help decide, but I think selling it is best. I don't want to be house poor, I don't want to have to try and sell it when Mike gets orders somewhere and we are on a time schedule...I figure, we have made a decent profit, enjoyed the experience but need to keep our ducks in a row and stay ahead of the game for once before we get forclosed on (which would be the end of me since my parents co signed with us on the house!!)
Then the debate on where to live, back onto post or somewhere else.....I think back on post is our best bet since it is ideal location, I already have built in carpools for the boys school, I know what neighborhoods I want to live in.
Mike still likes the idea of being off post, but doesn't want a commute, so since he will be leaving for Iraq, he said I can pick wherever since I will have to live there alone....
OK, Sorry for the rambling. I think blogging helps me focus on my dilemmas. But That is just a little update.

Good luck with the house selling. It sounds like a good plan.
Wow looks like you have a lot on your plate right now. I'm sure once Mike gets back it'll make it easier to make a final decision. Good Luck!
