Fabulous tips, thanks! I did something similar when I was house hunting a few years back. Guess this is like a big house hunt! I'll have to figure out those things which are most valuable to us and weight the ratings accordingly. I know you can't boil everything down to a number, and in the end, your gut plays a big part in the final decision, but at least some structure helps guide the way.
Thanks KatieBen!
