I am moving again, and usually choose a first floor apt. I wonder if a third floor apt. is more beneficial- heat/cooling, less spiders, etc.  I believe it to be safer...

I'm an apartment locator and here's what I've come across in my many years in the business.   \n\n2nd floor is best for cheaper utilities b/c your sandwiched b/w the other two apartments, remember heat rises.   \n\nA third floor is more beneficial when it comes to noise, safety and of course bugs as you mention.   But third floors are more expensive in utilites especially if they have vaulted ceilings.  \n\nhope this helps.

definitely live in the dorms. choosing an apartment your first year is a sure-fire way to be sad and lonely. dorm life provides a new family with whom you can eat, study, hang out, or whatever.

yes.  Most apts don't look at cretid- they look at rental history.  If you have no previous rental experience, you will need a co-signer.  Sounds like you are in good shape.

Brian, \n\nMy apologies up front for not answering *your* question, I just felt the need to thank you so very much for your help and input on my rent/eviction/decision. I tried to find the same information you did (although I must say you do seem extremely knowledgeable) and came up empty handed. I so greatly appreciate your help. You have sincerely raised my faith in my fellow man almost back to where it was many moons and a wife ago. I hope great(-er) things come your way and I honestly am so thankful for your help.\nWith great respect,\nRobert

Ask now. Why wait? Get your name in first. I did the same thing in my old building (went from a studio to a one bedroom). The circumstances were slightly different, but it was no big deal. Call them today and set it up. If you've been a good tenant, there should be no problem and they'll be glad to rent it to someone already there.

Uh, if you don't have time to visit, how will you have the time to live in an apartment?\n\nYour question is poorly written fella!\n\n"ForRent.com" has listings for major cities.

Been there.  Ultimatums are never good. Small towns are full of gossip. The transition is easier because of family and friends. Both of you list pros/cons of where you'd like to live. Ask him if he'd be willing to check out some places that would fit what you're both looking for.  He may feel that you are choosing to move home to get away from him. Try to compromise. I did and I don't regret not moving back home. I found things that I really liked about where I live and we have been here for 25 years. Really think about this before you do or say something that you can't take back. I hope I helped.

I know we are actually getting out rn's from canada because nobody wants the pay here, but the cost of living is a heck of a lot less in san antonio, texas than san diego.  I own a 3 bedroom 1800 sq. ft. house on the Northside of SA for less than 100,000.  This is not uncommon.  I don't think you can find a deal like that in San Diego.  San Diego is beautiful and on the ocean and all.  San Antonio has a different climate and it's very historic.  The people are very friendly.  It's in a class all it's own, but you'd probably miss the water.

Carpeting is less expensive than hardwood flooring.  As for making the home warmer - that must mean aesthetically, not temperature wise.  Neutral is a selling point because any furniture will go w/ it.

Pretend not to notice and get off at the very next floor, whether it's the right one or not. Taking the stairs is good exercise and stairwells are usually empty, in case I need to let off a few more.

If you have to move to stay safe, then get yourself going. Don't worry about the new school you'll be attending. It only takes a couple of weeks to get used to anything new, and I'm sure you'll make a couple of friends by then. I had to move a lot when I was young and I really hated it. Just when I got used to things, my parents would tell me to pack my stuff and we'd move again...six months here, a year there. I went to 5 different schools. But, I do have to say that the last move I made was for the best. We lived on the south side of Chicago and things were getting really bad. I'm so very glad we moved, moving over 200 miles north. It made me relax quite a bit, and I even did better in school, not having to worry about anyone hassling me after school. So, don't worry, little one, things will work out. Especially since it seems your family wants a better life than what they have in your current neighborhood. These things have a way of turning out much better than you could ever imagine. <*)))><

I always recommend living on campus in a dorm for at least a year.  It's a great way to meet and make friends, and get involved.  I transferred into my university last year and lived in the dorms, and it was a great experience.  My roommate and I got along, and we knew when to give each other space.  Although we didn't become best friends, we still developed a good relationship.  I still keep in touch with her now.  This past year I lived in an apartment with another girl, whom I didn't really know that well.  It also turned out to be a positive experience.  You can also take out loans to live off campus in an apartment, in which I did.  It's also much cheaper to live off campus, but at the same time, living in a dorm, all your meals are provided and cooked for you.  Just remember, your college experience all depends on how much you are willing to put yourself out there, be positive and outgoing and try to put forh effort in getting involved with activities and organizations on campus.  There is so much to do, and it's some of the best year of your life.  Meeting new people from all different backgrounds and upbringings is one of the best ways to learn and open your mind to differences in yourself and what you already know.  Good luck in whatever you choose!

Why would you want to do that? Portland is going to be slow paced compared to S.F. Do you want that switch? My advice is stay where you are.

It will be your principal residence even if you are not living in it at the time of renovations.  Don't deal with the morons at a call center.  Find an agent in your local community: http://nwinsurance.nationwide.com/nwagentlocator/find.asp

My dad owns two appartment buildings besides the house we live in. One is a triplex and the other one is also a triplex but with a corner store.\n\nWe try to do all the maintainance ourselves, and if we cannot, we call someone, after researching best price for quality.\n\nKeep the rules tight, no loose ends. Always take the rent for a new resident for the first and last month. That way if they run away (happened to us twice), you do not actually lose anything.\n\nIf the tenants stay in the building for a long time and they are good, we try not to increase the rent much each year. For example, the grocery store guy gives started at like 700 per month, but after like over 15 years, we capped it at 1250.
