For those who do not believe Rent can be so low in the area I live in

Here is an example of the ads being advertised in our local newspaper.


For the record my wife has called most of these ads and she is either waiting to hear back from the person OR she was told the place was already taken or they don't accept pets.


So we are looking and I am sorry we have bothered people so much for help.

IT WILL NOT HAPPEN AGAIN

1. I apologize if you thought

that I was questioning you on the amount of rent in your area.

I was more shocked if anything, it just made me realize how expensive it is to live where I do.

No malice intended, I hope you get a place. I am sorry I am not in your area to help you with your search.

3. Thank you. I do apologize as well but the only excuse I can give is all the stress I have been

under. The sad part is that for as low as the rent is a lot of people have a worse time trying to make ends meet. They have it worse than we do.

5. Oh hey... I understand

trying to find affordable decent housing is a nightmare!

I can sympathize. Where I live has become a booming "mecca" for young people! Rents and homes have skyrocketed massively! Sucks for people that have live here all their lives and can barely afford a scrap of tin. I am a native and I am very lucky that I purchased before the "boom".

2. I have a new neighbor recently, he told me many rental ads don't respond to calls or emails

He ended up moving by me more because the owner looking to rent it out actually bothered to respond to his calls in a timely manner than anything else.

There are places out there but evidently a lot of flaky rental agents.


Good luck.

4. Good luck

I've always had an easier time showing up at the rental agencies than trying to do things by phone or email.

7. My Dad lives there, or well, just north of there.

Yeah, I remember looking at the rents and being amazed how low the rents were. It is also the same thing here in Dayton with rents.

Not sure what the issue is with you getting a place, but the best of luck in hunt for a place to live.
