My husband was recently promoted and we will be moving from Jackson, MS to Houston by July 1st. Few questions: My husband was offered a salary of 75k and I am a stay at home mom/student mainly but I do a little work from home which brings in about 5k a year...with that being said, will we able to live off of a 80k salary comfortably? Also, we are looking to rent for about 6 months to a year and eventually buy...can you suggest some great family neighborhoods (we have two children, 1 and 3) and also some neighborhoods to avoid? We would really like to rent a 3bdrm apt/house/condo but really don't want to exceed $1400 a month. Any of your help would be greatly appreciated!

I am also from Jackson, MS and will be relocating to Houston in August. I found alot of nice houses for rent on this website Houston Real Estate - Houston Homes, Houston Home Value and Houston Relocation under residential lease. Where is your husband job located? You might want to lease a place close to his job, commute can be very long.

Need to know where he is working to suggest an area, Houston is huge. You can live comfortable in the suburbs on 80k.
