We rented in Burlington for four years, which at this point has been the most expensive place I've lived so far. Our rent in Burlington was around $1,700. For over a year, we looked at houses here and got pretty invested in some properties we saw.
Our real estate agent kept pushing us outside of our budget, like over $200,000 more. We got pre-approved for a good amount of money, but we ran the numbers and knew what we could truly afford. But our agent kept pushing. It was really frustrating.
In November 2023, we lost out on another house and we felt pretty defeated. We weren't done looking but we decided to take a break from the hunt. Then, Ian found this bus on Facebook Marketplace.
The seller told us they bought it with an ex. They were like, "If you guys don't buy it, I'm just going to scrap it." It was a 12-seat commuter bus and they had already started converting it.
