This area is rapidly developing into a luxury/trendy/artsy neighborhood.

New to Grand Rapids mi...

Both CH and DW should be crossed off your list without hesitation but if you absolutely had no other option I guess I'd say Deanwood, if you've got a kid make sure he/she's a black belt b4 letting them frolic at the Rec Center, unless you're cool with them coming home shoeless/coatless etc.If you like hearing rapid gunfire, smelling weed 24/7, stolen cars flying up and down the block 24/7 and a complete feeling of lawlessness then move on in (oh the occasional naked people on PCP running around make for an interesting sight too).

The physical receipts can be scanned and added to that transaction in Quicken for easy access later, then they are kept in folders according to property until tax time.

Now she is calling/texting/emailing every contact for us, now saying her 80yr old dad (she is mid 40’s) can cosign and emailing his credit report, drivers license, trying to set up two half hour showings to see the home again tonight…Last time was a felon (for several things like weapons and bodily harm) who for MONTHS was trying to see a house we were attempting to get rented during a Chicago winter.

The risk here is we don't know how much higher rates would be which could make the refinance not make as much sense and I don't see how we could continue with this rapid inflation of housing prices.  

ATX has seen rapid appreciation and strong population and industry growth.

I know sometimes you can't just get everything at Home Depot, but it has a rebate program, plus it emails you receipts, so you don't have to carry receipts and scan later, so try to use Home Depot as much as possible (it looks like you are already doing this.)If you buy a paint for House A, and light bulbs for House B, buy the paint and check out (get a receipt,) and then buy the light bulbs (get another receipt.)

Afraid that someone is already scanning the listings of daycares for sale or rent in that area? 

There is also a large group in Ann Arbor and one in the Grand Rapids area.
