That threw a bit of a wrench in our plans so we’re now looking for a short term (likely 6-8 months) rental until we’re ready to make the move on our next property.We’re both in corporate finance, same employers for 5+ years, no layoffs during these times, very well paying jobs, excellent credit scores and the ability to pay rent during these unprecedented times.
