Looking for...


Phantom

391 views

After the most recent blow out with my mom and me, me and Matt decided that it was time for me to move out and get my own place. Well... we looked at one place today in Ocean Grove and it didn't go so hot. It was cozy to say the least, kinda on the small side. It was a bedroom, kitchen, bathroom, living room and that's it. When we looked around at it thats when we got the low down.

 

In an area where an apartment like this should go for (according to the websites that I checked 600-800 a month) the guy wanted $1,050. To which me and Matt looked at each other and went hell no, but looked at the guy and said we would look at where we were and think about it, meaning hell no. WE told him that the highest we could go is 700, the medium of what the area is and he looked like he we were speaking greek.

 

So yea... it sucks. It was a huge blow to us and really disheartning.

 

Maybe we'll have better luck with a cardboard box.

Don't get discouraged! Be smart, it's your money and it didn't sound like you were too pleased with the place anyway. And if you came down here... you're likely to pay 700 a month renting a whole house.. lmao.. the cost of living here isn't all that high.. of course the house won't be a mansion.. but you'd have room for peace and quiet?

 

So stay calm I have faith in the two of you making a smart decision.

Don't be discouraged, you actually have more say on the rent then you might think. There are plenty of landlords out there without a tenant, and they have to pay for the place out of their own pockets, you just need to find a place that is the right price, and the landlord is having trouble finding good tenants. :)

 

Then you'll get a great deal.

PS don't settle on the first place you see. :P
