Headed your way (in a few months)

Poopsmith · April 5th, 2007, 11:03

Just wanted to see if anyone currently at UND has any info on houses for rent.
I am trying to wrap things up here in Spokane and need to get a place lined up for the move over to UND. Looking for a place that allows dogs.

Thanks in advance for any info.

From another guy from Washington, trust me, you will never look at Washington the same way once you leave.

I never appreciated the hills, the water, and the culture until it was all gone.

i know what you mean. I lived in Iraq for a year. Talk about flat and boring (well, sort of boring).

Check out the apartents around the 2100 block of South 17th Street they allow pets, (dogs and cats). Or at least they did a few years ago. Rent was around 450 for a two bedroom.

There are usually a number of student-owned houses that are looking for tenants around this time of year too. They probably don't care about animals, and a lot are close to campus. Only thing is that you have to move in with strangers!

JaceTheAce · April 5th, 2007, 13:56

LOL... GOOD LUCK finding a place that accepts pets! There isn't a place that I know of that accepts pets in this town. There's only one that I know of... Legacy Apartments. My roommate had to get a pseudo doctor note from a Psychiatrist saying that he "needed his cat for emotional support"...hahahaha. They allowed it because it was a "service animal". Look in every ad for a home/apartment and it'll boldly say "ABSOLUTELY NO PETS!!!"

And let me ask... WHY are you moving here, after the wealth of accurate and freely available information on this subforum describing the quality of life in this town?

$450 is pretty much the going rate for everything here.

$250 for a 1 bedroom even,

and they accept pets.

$450 MAYBE for a DUMP studio like in Southwinds or some other crap place. No covered parking, no dishwasher, brown lawns in the summer, garbage everywhere, trashy loud people, no plug-ins (in order to synthetically make life "livable" here...you know...in order to bring in items from civilization you must make your car think that it's in a warm environment by using a block heater)

Well, apparently I need to take some classes there to finish the program.
I plan on living there the shortest length of time possible. It does not make sense to buy a house for only 1 to 1.5 years.

I don't expect UND to be fun, actually I expect the exact opposite, but I will gargle peanut butter while standing on my head for that long if that is what it takes.

Okay... good reason then LOL.

Unless the owners have changed over there and almost the entire "population" has moved out, they allow pets and the rent was 450 a month and the place was not a dump. Not the pent house and the Regal, but not a dump. Lived in them for almost 4 years.

Oh okay... sometimes you can find good deals if the owner's mortgage term began years ago when prop values were lower. Now a reasonable 30 yr fixed will only break even or make you lose money if you have renters in there covering part of the mortgage with rent (market rent in this area is a bit lower than what your monthly mtg amount would most likely be). I tried going that route by buying a condo intending to keep it for a few years after I fled ND by renting it out... I would've lost a BIG chunk of change (capital gains tax...if even the damn thing appreciated... or if I kept it, students breaking things, wear and tear of drunk students, market rent being lower than my mortgage amount, ULTRA HIGH property taxes, outrageous special assessment amounts, stupidly high HOA fees for them mowing the lawn/dealing with trash and that's it...ugh...where's the pool???, etc). You just don't buy a house or condo here unless you're gonna make Grand Forks your LONG TERM home and it's owner-occupied.

Poopsmith · April 5th, 2007, 17:36

if you re-invest the funds from the sale of the property I don't think you get dinged with capital gains tax. I believe it is only when you cash out an investment, but i could be wrong.

Poopsmith · April 9th, 2007, 13:18

Thanks for the info guys. I'll see what I can get.

TXaviator · April 10th, 2007, 11:20

btw if you find a nice place that allows pets, let me know.

my cat is in stealth mode at the moment.

Sasha's the coolest cat ever!

My roommate's second cat Louis must be in stealth mode.

He always is anyway. He hides under the bed the second someone knocks on the door. He's only supposed to have one cat, per the fake psychiatrist's note that he needed to show to the management for a "service animal" priviledge.

For some reason this apartment management always finds some excuse to enter into your apartment. They love to snoop around. Every two weeks it's something... pest control and "bug spraying" every month...They want you to remove all of your dishes and items from every kitchen cabinet. YEAH. RIGHT. HVAC filter changes (central heat/air), toilet inspection...whatever excuse. This is why I avoided hanging a 142 lb projector from the ceiling - don't want to lose the deposit. They'd probably freak out if they saw it hanging from their ceiling joists... as would any landlord.
