I dont know what rent is like but 1000 is at most maybe first month and deposit if you get a spot on your own. Thats even before utilities.
Im thinking maybe looking into renting a room from someone would be a good way. 1000 should be enough for a couple months while you get a job and all that. If theres a college nearby, should be pretty easy to find some cool dudes you can rent a room with. Then you wont have to worry about getting approved for your own spot or whatever and not having solid work yet.

Problem is, I pretty much have no money... and I currently don't have a job. I've been applying everywhere for a job and I've only been called in for 2 interviews out of like 50 places I've applied. I want to move to another city about 3 hours from where I'm at now, but there's no way in hell I could apply for jobs over there if I don't even have a place to live there. Anyone ever been in this situation? What would be the most logical thing for me to do or is there anything I could do that could be risky at first but could end up working out in the end? Thanks homies
#2 - Save up some cash before you make the move....
You don't want to get where you're going and find out then, that your plans have a few cracks in them. So, always have some emergency cash ready.
#3 - Most jobs have and will give you relocation expenses ... depending on the type of job it is. Always ask, if you have the skills to pay the bills.
#4 - Plan, plan and plan some more ... expect the unexpected. Everything can be worked out on paper or in your head, but rarely do things happen that way in reality .... have a backup plan.
#5 - Find self-storage space in your target area, just in case you have to store your stuff temporarily.
#6 - Most importantly, get to know the area before you sign a lease ....

Just find the best cheapest living situation.
Decide on what city you want to go to, find an area that's close to your house that has all the things you want and need, and google cheap apartments or if you're single and want to save money, go to roomates.com sometimes you can get a great deal on a room with somebody you can stand depending on the area. Some areas have much higher rent than others so do your research on good deals
Also don't forget to take in the cost of electricity, water, and cable/internet/phone.
If you dont have a car a city where you dont have to drive everywhere is beneficial. Some cities like miami have almost no transport system and if you don't have a car you're ****ed because everything is so far away from each other.Last edited by DARKSEID; 06-19-2012, 06:31 PM.

Then to actually rent an apartment, your salary has to be 40x your rent.

the first logical step would be to get a roommate and a job and live and work locally to start out
when you get a cash base and start to get on your feet (and your lease with your roomie(s) is close to ending you can look at stuff in another city
it's easiest to find a job when you're currently employed. you will want to get an entry level job for starters and work your way up.
local job and roommate(s) first
you're going to need a job (and a couple grand to put down,) to qualify for a lease. you'll probably need a cosigner for your first lease.Last edited by New England; 06-19-2012, 06:34 PM.

I live with a few roomies in a 3 bedroom house in a great city and combined it's only 1200 dollars. Some schmuck in NYC is paying that for an apartment the size of a closet.

Just about anywhere you live in America is like half the price of NYC. I'd never want to pay that much for a place to lay my head. I'd rather spend my money doing other stuff.

my mortgage is a fraction of what it costs to rent a studio in NYC, and MA is an expensive state and i'm in a nice city.
crazy as that sounds; it's the truth
the difference is the down payment.
