I'll just put it here, in case anyone else knows of anything too. (Thanks for checking!)

Requirement: 2 bed/2 bath, $1,350-$1,600, allows cats, AC/heat, dishwasher, patio, anywhere safe between northern OC and Long Beach
Prefer: washer/dryer hook-ups, downstairs, garage

Stay away from buying right now. The market isn't finished going down and the mortgage industry is still in chaos.

No kidding. My dad finally admitted to that later tonight. I think he just loves to be complex sometimes. So, now he's also pushing towards option 3, and I think they'll help with deposits/moving.

Oooh, neighbors! GusGus and I could spend the afternoons carrying out nefarious plans. I love your place, too. Would you mind checking on the one that's available?

Thanks.

So far on Craigs List, I've found a condo at $1,500 just down the street from us that comes with a 2-car garage and all hardwood floors. I'm going to call tomorrow. I know the neighborhood - it's really nice.
