Takin a trip to Berlin!
Since I last posted, I have scheduled a video call with a person at a firm that specializes in mortgage loans for foreigners; bought plane tickets to Berlin for spring break (3/7-15); and planned to send another email to the co-op person to let her know what the loan person says and also find out if I can schedule a meeting/appointment while I'm there.
I'm gladkriski and dirtyzucchini are letting me sleep on their couch (and I finally get to meet their little menagerie), because otherwise I would not be going (airfare was expensive enough!).
I'm still pretty shocked that I went from browsing WG listings and seeing what kind of rooms are available at the price I want to OMG I NEED TO BUY THIS NOW in about 30 seconds. It feels impulsive, and I'm definitely not the impulsive type. But I've spent a lot of time lately thinking about the ideal properties of a place to live, and they aren't many: balcony, 2 rooms, bathroom with tub, washing machine. Enough space for me, a bed, a clothes storage unit, a couch & a comfy chair, some bookshelves, and a dining table. A kitchen with enough storage space and decent counter space. Cat friendly. Laid out in a logical and reasonable fashion. In a walkable area. And this apartment meets 100% of those criteria and has some bonuses, like environmentally-friendly design and underfloor heating.
I need this really badly :| I don't know if I'll succeed in this but I'm taking all the steps I know how to do in order to make it happen.
