Man, I was nodding my head so much listening to your vlog! We are in a somewhat similar living situation at the moment - we really need to move (although our building hasn't been sold - long story involving the septic system), and started looking in December. We still haven't even found a place that we can afford, that would take our dog & cats, that we were even able to go check out (the few that have come up haven't replied to emails/phone calls, so we're assuming they were already taken). I really hope the nearby option works out for you - sending lots of positive vibes your way!
