Overwhelmed and Underfunded
Am feeling quite discouraged about this whole apartment shopping business. After poking around a few of them and having numerous landlords either hang up on me or refuse to return our calls, I'm starting to wonder if the apartment we are leaving isn't the most wonderful thing in the entire borough in our price range. Why does everything have to be tiny and crappy?
If it's this difficult finding an apartment, how would house hunting go? Would it be easier, or much more difficult? We don't have the savings quite yet for closing costs and a down payment on a home, otherwise we would be already looking. I want my own place pretty badly, but am just so overwhelmed.
We have just under three weeks to pack, move, and scrub down our current place. I'm starting to wonder if we won't make it.
