If you come via North Carolina (and from AZ, you might!) there's a guest room waiting for you right here in Durham! It's a good place to crash on your last night on the road--we're about 5 hours from the DC Metro area. We'll take you out for some North Carolina barbecue when you get here.

I don't really have an answer for the short-term need, but over the longer term, you should look into buying. I know that probably sounds impossible, but with FHA and Fannie Mae loans available, it really doesn't take a big wad in the bank or a hefty salary. Mortgage payments are frequently similar to or lower than rent payments, that was certainly the case for us. Plus you're building equity. It's a good thing all around.
