Job lead. 50k with a rental. How is USF?
I need a one-bedroom apartment. The rents are crazy here. I might take it for being able to go back to school.
The office is near USF. How do I look for a place near there?

WTF

Only way you’ll be able to live in this area and save money is by renting a room in someone’s house. Probably in Bradenton

And even then you're not saving much.

Just look on zillow. But yeah avg rent for studios is like 1600. There are some in bradenton and manatee for 1300-1400 but wont be in real great areas.

What's your budget? It's going to be $1,600 for a studio

I do not owe anything. That is what I found also on a quick search. But 1600 will put me over a week's check at 50k. I want to try and save some, not just pay rent. TY

unfortunately here is not the place for that.

Maybe a mobile home park for seniors? Those were cheap in the Daytona area.

Oh, you sweet summer child. I feel for you but anywhere you’ll want LIVE is going to be that or higher. Best of luck.

You're not going to be able to get right next to USF area for less than $1,200 unless you find a private renter.

Unless you're going to move up quick I would not take that job and live in this area for 50k

In 1975 I had half of a house in downtown Atlanta, a nice car and girlfriends on12,000 a year. This sucks for young people today! We are near a tipping point in AMERICA. SOCIALISM WORKS IN EUROPE PEOPLE

But Americans hate anyone they see. Even the person in the mirror. SMH

honestly just keep looking and you (might) get lucky. Affordable places pop up occasionally but get snagged quick. I’m renting a 1br for $1200 by USF so they definitely exist
2
That is what I am hoping for if I get the job. Just rent a cheap hotel room till I can have one pop up in searching. TY
1
This place is a black hole for renters. Good luck but you’re in for a shock if you have been holding out hope for something affordable in a desirable area.

What’s insane to me is that you can literally live in fucking Brooklyn for the amount slumlords are charging for rent here. Literally one of the most expensive housing markets rn.

If you’re referring to Tampa USF and you need cheap rent, there’s always Gibsonton if you don’t mind the carnies

Wow rent is 1600 for a studio? My mortgage on a 3300 square foot house is like 2200...

Yea, double what it was a year ago. People's teeth are showing as it is OK to hurt the people around you, and next, they will say no one wants to work... for minimum wage.
Remember, greed is good.

Yeah dude....rich east coasters ruined it. That's from the locals, not me (I'm from the Midwest)
I had to get a roommate and now live in a hood(ish) area of Bradenton. Bradenton is going to get gentrification. Guaranteed.
Anyways, my rent for a two bedroom is $1750. That's $875 a piece. I have no pool, no amenities, jack shit. Just an apartment in the hood with a roommate.
I'd recommend trying to find a room on CL, then try to find a roommate to get an apartment with.
Edit: Oh and if you have a dog you're screwed. The breed restrictions list is crazy long and most places have a 25lb weight limit.

If you are from the midwest, then you are part of the problem. I am a native of Florida. Can you go back and take everyone with you, please. TY
I am passing on the work anyway. So I do not think I will be going to move there.

Fuck no dude it gets -40 there now.
Like it or not the Yankees are setting up shop.
And that's just rude dude. No one chooses where they are born.

I said please.
Yea, ever since A/C was invented, they started staying instead of visiting.
But Sarasota is a lovely area.

What kind of jobs are people working to afford rent around here?

IDK I was looking at doing safety for a construction company. But that is not happening, I guess?

Sarasota is very expensive right now. VERY.
