Housing in Wise County

Yeah right not in Wise County

Well it's official I feel like I am NEVER going to find a decent rent house in Wise County. I called and talked to a guy at noon about a house and told him I was SUPER interested in it and I told him I would have to have the BF look at it too but by the time I called him back at 730pm to say we wanted he already rented it out. I have never been more frustrated in my life.

Why is it so hard to rent in Wise County??? Well for a few reason one the stupid oil industry, second most housed for rent are in horrible condition or WAY over priced and third most the houses are for sale around here and fourth NO PETS. The no pets is a MAJOR problem for me. I have the cutest and well behaved dog for the most part. She is also the last gift my gram gave me before she passed away. I can't part with her she is my family. I can understand why people don't allow pets but when people are willing to pay the pet deposit let them.  Overpricing a house is CRAZY!!! Again I would like to blame the oil industry and them just paying whatever the cost is so that people can charge all this money for a shack.

How could you not love this face?

The other reason why I am so frustrated right now is the fact that if I had enough money or better credit I could get a house. There is so many houses for sale in Wise county it's ridiculous. But thanks to the divorce and being stuck with HUGE ass bills because of the EX and draining my savings to pay them off I have nothing but bad credit and no savings. Yippie. The joys of being divorced, they don't tell you about all that when you get married or go to counseling the effect it takes on you financially. I wish I could wave a magic wand and find a house within my budget and the right size and make it work. I am tired of being frustrated and don't want to be stuck in my one bedroom apartment FOREVER!!!

I guess I should step down from my soap box now. But I just hope something happens and sooner rather than later.
