SARAH: One surprise for us was it took us longer to find the house than we expected
and we ended up needing a temporary living arrangement before we found the right place.
So we lived with Ryan's mom for a short period of time.
RYAN: My adulthood dream.
SARAH: Which was definitely a surprise and not unpleasant but unexpected, which just
meant more logistics. Moving twice, thinking through just sort of all the figuring out
where we were going to live and when we were going to move and stuff like that.
JASON: When you're looking at houses, I think as a couple, compromise is key. We, in the
beginning, never thought we'd agree on something or what we both wanted was, I wouldn't say
very far apart, but definitely different things we both wanted.
JASON: I compromised on some things, she compromised on some things and that's very important,
that you just can't say, this is what I want. This is the town I want. This is the house
I want because you will be looking for an endless amount of time so compromise is definitely
important.
CHRIS: I like to dig into the local business paper, find out if there's any major projects
that could adversely affect the value of the real estate there. For example, if it's a
predominantly a residential neighborhood, and somebody's going to put up a distribution
center close by, there's going to be lots of traffic, trucks and so forth.
