We found an apartment we can afford - any advice?

After 5 weeks of searching, we found an apartment we can afford in Portland. There are 16 people counting on me, so I am trying to be careful. The kids have their own room again. If you are searching, keep going.

Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it 13 months ago, and it settled down once I kept a simple log of every call and form.
