I am on AFDC with no other income. How likely am I to find an apartment with  2 bedrooms for my family of 4.?

Are there any organizations in your community who can help you? I wish you the best, sweetie.

Check with your housing office.  Don't try to get away with anything, some spouse with nothing better to do will rat you out.

No and I've gone through this before.  We went from apartment to apartment and because of our credit they would not rent to us. It's insane!!!  People with bad credit need a roof over their head too.  The rich just want all the non-rich to be homeless I think. It sucks.  We did get into a low income housing complex but because of our credit, out deposit alone was $800.00.  It's a nice place actually and I love living where I am but still.  It was hard getting in too.

Hello,\n\nJust as the last responders noted, it is mainly based on the income level, area you live and dependenscy as well...\n\nBasically after filling your FASFA the government determines what the EFC (expected family contribution) will be... From there you may qualify for financial aid right off the bat.. Anyting left over needed to pay you ar your parents can take out additional student loans for,,,\n\nLoans you take out will be considered staffors or direct loans... Loans your parents take out are called Plus loans....\n\nBoth can be used to pay for your education...\n\nWhat i suggest is calling myself or another licendsed student loan advisor to give you more detailed advice...\n\nThen you will know exactly wha tyou qualify for and can determine what to do from there...\n\nI work with Sutdent Aid lLending.. We are licensed nationwide and are administered by the Department of Education...\n\nI would be happy to assist you with your federal student loans...\n\nFeel free to call or email me at any time...\n\nGood Luck,\n\nJason Fry\nStudent Aid Lending\n1-800-964-0642 Ext. 114\njasonf@studentaidlending.com

I would think that you have a good case to bring forth, but living in a mobile home park myself (in California) if your park is owned by a major corporation (such as ours) I don't know if you would have too much luck without taking a legal stance.  We, ourselves, are going through it with rent control issues (our park has raised our space rent $200 in the last 3 yrs) and it is terrible for seniors.  Prayers go out to you in Florida =)

What it means is that your total family income CANNOT be over a certain amount ,sounds like a tax credit property!&#92;\nif you make alot of money you wont qualify! best thing to do is call to see what their limit is ... \n                                     have a good day ,and good luck!!\n                 -LOW INCOME HOUSING-

we'll im concidered low income i get two checks for 541.76 and my youngest son is disabled so he gets 603 a month. so in total i make around 1,600 a month and about 17,000 a year and in socorro county thair is alot of low income. so in your situation if you were to rent a place here youd be able to get all the bills paid and still have quit a bit left over for spending. Cause if you were to rent to own some houses are like 425 and some are 500 a month. Right now I pay 474 per month in my aptartment complex. And Magdalena is a great place to come and retire at its a small town we have one grocery store trails end market, a gas staion the chevron, a furniture place nice stuff, there is a place called kelly mines were they used to work many of years ago, every year we have old timers reunion with rodeoes, and people have stands all over the rodeo ground with dances at night. we have a small marchals office with only three cops, the apartment complex i live in used to be a whore house when billy the kid was alive, he also used to stay here when hiding from the law. Also their is a house that belonged to Paris Hiltons great,great grandfather and another historical house here is the Macintash house. their is also wells fargo bank very small, we have three wonderful resturants and a coffee shop which is here in the apartment complex, but the lady who runs it is very rude and hateful she is also my landlord, she tried to kick me and my two children out on the street so her friend could move in. but the owener over rited her eviction on me. But anyways i dont know where your from but the nearedest town with a wal-mart is twenty-seven miles east of our small town and we are also nine hours away from the arazonia border. hope i gave you what you aked for if  not ask again and i will answer again. my spell check is having problems so sorry for the mis-spells

Most people cant live on $22,000 a year....we are considered below poverty level but we always have food on the table and our bills are always paid never late.....but I have a higher financial advisor and his name is GOD.....have you tried getting a grant at the local college...that is if you have a local college....I wanted to be a medical transcriptionist and heard I could get a grant at out local college....

My word.  That is a lot of people and stress.   Is it possible for you to move into a place away or maybe down the road form your relatives, just to get you out of the chaos?  There are usually places that offer low/reduced rent for fixed incomes.   Maybe your children can do things to help around the house so when you come home you have some peace and don't feel like you have to race around and clean, cook, do laundry etc.  Good luck.

Man... where are you going to find a fourplex for 100-200k?  Madagascar? Somalia? Sudan?  Just kidding, but that's pretty "down market".  \n\nHere's some tips:\n\n1) You can get an investment for around 4x-6x your salary from a bank. Think around 120k-180k. \n2) You can generally get something that is 80% levered (where you put 20% down and even more levered if you have good credit/reserves). Sure, you can get 100% financing - but you don't want to stretch yourself to the breaking point. Tighter credit policies also make it difficult to get more financing. Don't do exotic financing like negative amortization or interest-only as you can lose your shirt easily. Go 30 or 15 year fixed. \n3) Don't go so cheap on the four-plex (speaking from experience as I owned a fourplex).  It is better to deal with a single unit that costs the same. Your tenants are a) going to take MUCH better care of your place because they are generally more respectful of property, b) you'll have less people living in your place doing wear/tear/accidents and c) you will have less headaches managing fewer people. \nPeople do REALLY stupid things with your stuff, especially when the deposit is only a few hundred bucks instead of $10,000... my person experience, tenants flood the bathrooms, put the washing machine outside, shoot out all the lights with a bb-gun, dig up the decorative tree in the front yard, go four-wheeling on your lawn, iron on the carpet, knock down a fence, pay late, skip rent, dump trash outside, dump their kiddie pool water next to the building, bash in closet doors.  Each small thing will cost you 1-12 months in rent lost money at the low end.  My single unit place in California that cost 3x as much as my four-plex had much fewer tenants, less wear and tear, no headaches, was easier to sell and netted more money (downside was lower average occupancy).  \n5) Start with a single-unit fixer upper in a working class neighborhood.  Don't invest too much money in fixtures that don't have a positive return.  Put your "sweat capital" into things that make it habitable (e.g. painting, fix the plumbing, make sure the doors/windows/roof all look good). I'm not saying you sould be a cold-hearted slum lord, but don't waste money on things with negative NPV. \n6) Unfortunately, it takes money to make money. Get a good job.  Take side classes/certificates/degrees to make sure you can make more money in the future.  It took 10 years for me to make enough money, but once I did, making money was much easier when you have money. Learn about investing.  Knowledge is very powerful - which you can then use to make your money work for you.  Read, read, read.  Go to the library. Borrow books from friends. \n7) Don't be afraid to take some risks.  You are going to screw up. You are also going to do things very well.  But you need to take risks to get ahead.  When things go wrong... and they will go wrong... take self-responsibility (i.e. don't blame someone else) and learn a lesson for the next time. \n8) Cut way back on your spending.  It's going to suck, but you can turn your sacrifices into cash, which you can then use to fuel your investments.  Don't play the "keeping up with the Joneses". You don't need the latest gadget, a new car, new clothes, take-out dinner, the nice cut of steak, the fabbo trip.\n9) If you REALLY feel like you need to invest now, get friends to invest with you.  However, make absolutely sure you have a contract that is iron-clad.  Designate a chairman, voting system and equity rules because friends/family and money don't mix.  Some will flake and not work their share. Some will want to do it their way and only their way.  Some will want to back out if things go badly.  I will never work with family/friends.

WOW,\n What an opportunity. You have the answer right there. You have 330 units already rented with people who would love to save on their space. Make flyers, self or have kinkos or someone else do it. Say something like, Bring me a person who signs a contract for a place and receive a week or month free. depends how you normally charge. If  you charge 100 a month x1200 a year , and let's say 100 units take you up on this offer you loose $10,000 in free months or week  of rent. The up- side, the lost is only once(one month of free rent.). and of course you now have 100 more units rented. 100 times $100 a month = you guessed it $10,000. You really lost nothing and gained 100 more units rented. Suppose only 50 units remained after the month 50 x $100 a month =$5,000, additional  money than your current situation and very little expense from you. I would sweeten the deal and offer those that are referred a free week or free month,but of course only if the sign a longer lease. Your  customers are always looking for ways to save, they are motivated. Business cards, cheap and cheap to print on the back , 10% discount off of 1st month rent etc, with this card. Give them out to everybody,everybody. Leave them when you pay for dinner or at the cashier at the gas station, post them in apt buildings laundry mats, etc
