House Hunting

In one word, PAINFUL.

I'm not taking a whole house or signing a contract for a whole year obviously, so I'm not going to agents. What's left? Internet. Tried many of the sites so far... Really struggling to find a good place... Almost got some of them and then suddenly they are gone (sometimes it's my fault though)...

And I got heaps of scams as well... many people 'happened to have' a very nice house in a great place leasing at an incredibly low price, and they 'happened not to' be in Melbourne 'on a project' or stuff like that and asks you to send your bond overseas then they promise they will send you the key. They 'know' that this is hard and they understand 'trust' is very important between the 'two of us'. I noticed that most of the scams are written in a same manner, and are even using the same words and similar sentences, all that was different was their name and address. It was this kind of similarity that alerted me...

Well anyway, just wish me luck...
