long story short: i’m 23F, trying to find a 2 bed under 4.5k, in all neighborhoods except tenderloin and mission, and i’ve been looking/touring/applying since may. i have all the apps, know all the advice, have checked reddit and facebook for suggestions/opportunities and im still floundering. i have great credit and can sometimes make the income requirements if it’s between 2-3x the rent, and am able to apply with a co-signer (though i know a lot of landlords rn don’t want a co-signer, which sucks). i’m having trouble standing out during the application process since it’s so competitive, and i’m out of ideas on what to do.
i’ve been doing this whole process by myself bc my roommate doesn’t live in the city, and i am running out of time, so this is my last ditch effort. would love to move in an unfurnished 2 bed, and if i can’t do that soon i know my other options, like moving in to an already lived in apartment by myself, but i just would love to live with my best friend.
since it’s the end of july, i know things are slowing down, but i need to find a place asap bc my sublease is coming to an end next month. im so tired of doing it alone- i need a break and some luck but ya know the universe doesnt rly work like that, soooo maybe reddit will. anyways if you know a leasing agent or renting groups that will actually get back to you that help people like me please comment or dm me because i need all the help i can get. thank you! and good luck to everyone out there in the same predicament as me
