    View the apartment in the evening during a weekday so you can hear how loud the other occupants in the building are. I learned this the hard way with my current place.

      YES, this is a great addition! I actually bought my condo not realizing how thin the walls are. Such a common complaint I hear from other renters/homeowners living in the city! Thanks for adding!

    My biggest tip: Recognize if your family is abusive and get out no matter what the cost is. After moving 4 times in 2 years with my boyfriend we had finally had it and decided to move in with my parents. We've been living here for almost a year now and thanks to him seeing it from an outside perspective I've now realized how abusive my parents are to me. I could go more into details but I won't. What this has made me realize is that my independence from them and my mental wellbeing is worth more than any money I could save by living under their roof.

    • @TheSunflowerGoddess
      @TheSunflowerGoddess 4 года назад +61

      Yes, I've learned this the hard way myself. It took me 3 years to realize that the *only* times that I have felt so low in life that I considered suicide were only when I was back home around family for extended periods of time.

    Nine notes on what you need to know before signing on the dotted line 1. Credit history good credit with SSN on that check on credit Sesame it’s fine if you have no credit card history 2. Anything you can’t buy 3 times over is too expensive 50 30 20 rule also ask what price of rent includes 3. If you don’t have roommates it’s gonna be expensive and if you want to be in a safe place whatever it is utilities cost 4. Fees ... are evil 5. Save and pre save for deposit 6. Get a roommate 7. Be smart about furnishing spreadsheet for what we already have so you don’t have to buy one ex: I don’t watch tv so why buy one 8. Buy an electric space heater instead 9. Understand your lease agreement and that you can afford it for the long haul

My first house I offered was rejected, and I didn’t find a great deal till June and closed July 31st. It takes time and stressful and just a roller coaster ride! Moving and furnishing, be prepared to drop 3-5 thousand $$$ just like that. Phew ... it’s expensive buying a house but it’s worth it if you do it wisely! Oh and it helps to have a good realtor that’s on your side and is positive. Same goes for the mortgage lender. I dropped my first mortgage lender because he made me feel like it was hopeless to fix my credit score to qualify. He was like... even it you pay this or that off, you still may not qualify.

    Getting a separate account to save is such a great tip to save money. I set mine up so that every time I get paid, a certain amount is automatically transfered to that account and I don't end up spending it. Do this now. Even if it's 20 bucks, it's so helpful. It gives your mind the idea that those 20 dollars were never available for you to spend, so it's a painless and easy way to save.

    The problem is, you don't choose how much rent you pay. In NYC, you make 55k a year, and pay $1500 for a room where you live with roommates! This is not even a typical scenario, since most people just don't make this much a year. For anyone to come up and say don't pay more than 30% of your income suggest that you have a choice in the matter, when realistically, you don't! I make 55k a year, and I can't afford to live on my own!

    I agree with everything you said with one exception: for as long as is "socially acceptable." You know what! My "friends," family, or acquaintances do not pay my rent, phone bills, do not feed me, etc. Therefore, if I am 40+ and live with a parent, who cares if they think I am lame or a loser. I will be lame and a loser, all the way to the bank.

    I'm honestly stuck in my rental situation. Its our first apartment on our own and guys. Be careful, for real. We walked right into an LLC, where it's a weekly rental. They advertised it as a "1 bedroom, 1 bathroom apartment". They then claimed it was an efficiency apartment. However, we were only provided with a mini fridge, and a microwave. The unit next to us has a kitchen, and so does a single unit upstairs. I've seen "efficiency" apartments with full kitchens. We do not have drinkable running water, the only running water we have is in our bathroom, where I must do my dishes next to my toilet. I am also suspicious of them turning the "outbuildings" into "motel rooms", as this used to be a motel setting before. I have today myself saw workers moving a TV into one of the rooms, along with a bed. What is this? What is OUR unit? I feel there is a very broad line between "apartment" and "motel". Our unit would be an apartment if it had a kitchen, but they also could have gotten away by a sliver if they had provided us with a bed, a TV, and the fridge and microwave we already have, and called it a motel room. I need help. Like bad. We've had sewage leaks, from the upstairs toilet and bathtub. We were so dumb to walk into this place, and I frankly don't know what to do other than trying to educate myself and to suit up.

      I was interested in buying a house last November. I had to fix my credit and I didn’t prequalify to buy till March. My first house I offered was rejected, and I didn’t find a great deal till June and closed July 31st. It takes time and stressful and just a roller coaster ride! Moving and furnishing, be prepared to drop 3-5 thousand $$$ just like that. Phew ... it’s expensive buying a house but it’s worth it if you do it wisely! Oh and it helps to have a good realtor that’s on your side and is positive. Same goes for the mortgage lender. I dropped my first mortgage lender because he made me feel like it was hopeless to fix my credit score to qualify. He was like... even it you pay this or that off, you still may not qualify. I dropped him and the other broker was like... here what you need to do and get done, and they followed up on my Progress .

      I would go based off after because that’s what you essentially bring home.

      keith corry for yourself think of how much you’ll have after, however, qualifying is based on gross income which is before.
