After being in Southern California for almost nine years, it’s time to move back home. My family and I will be moving to Wisconsin in less than a month. With our second daughter now a month old, California is just not meeting our needs.
Due to the current housing market in our area, we’re unable to sell our condo. We’re looking to rent out our 864 sq. ft. condo for around $1300. $1300 is also the amount of our monthly mortgage. Hopefully we’ll be able to sell it after a couple years.
The picture above is the place that we rented. We get the whole lower flat as well as the basement and a 2 car garage. It sits about a mile away from my new job and is has a small yard. I’d say it’s close to 1200 sq. ft. The basement isn’t much, but it’s the same size as the house and has a washer, dryer, and sink. We will be renting this place for $850, that should give me enough room to buy a new grill and some beer.
It also has a seperate room that we can set up our ecommerce business in. I’m told we can write off part of the rent then. If anyone knows anything about writing off business expenses, let me know. It’s a subject that I’m really going to have to start researching.

Hey, I just found this blog and added to my RSS feed, good read!
Justin,
We moved a couple of months back, when our youngest son was just 3 months old. Although our move was nowhere near as far as yours (about a mile down the road!), there’s still a lot of things to remember in addition to the normal move worries (such as remembering enough nappies/bottles/etc to cover you until you reach your destination and can start unpacking). The best bit is they sleep most of the time, leaving you to get on with the move!
All the best for your move and future house sale.
Daniel
That is a seemingly peaceful place to live:
