I guess what I failed to convey is that the rent increase is causing me financial stress,…so to speak. So a move is probably inevitable.

And it would be nice to save some $ by moving towards the neighborhood/region that is my “Target” home buying area.

But again, I wonder about breaking the lease when I find the “house”, to buy.
