Thanks for all the great responses so far and information about the area. We have been watching Craigslist ads but aren’t quite sure how to evaluate the information in terms of rental prices. Is $1600 to $2000 per month an adequate budget for a 3/2 house rental? In whichh City, or area would we get the best value? We’re planning a multi-day trip to the area within the next month and other than driving around and checking out neighborhoods, what other activities can you suggest to help us get a "feel" for the area or help in our information quest? . Would it be valuable to visit a few open houses to get a sense of what one currently gets for $400K or $500K?
