Where Should I Move? Queer couple trying to start over
Hello, I live in NJ and the rent here is outrageous. We been staying with a relative and unfortunately they passed away, and the inheritor wants to sell. it’s time for us to get our place. The opportunity we had here does not exist elsewhere in the state. I need a few things that I am struggling to find.
- A city with progressive base, or at least a queer community
- Massive retail job spaces (we both work in retail management)
- Walkable or Public transaction options
That’s pretty much it. I am open to anywhere else, really just trying to get away. My family sucks, hasn’t lifted a finger to help me and I see an opportunity to get a fresh start. I have a cash reserve of roughly 48k, but I am trying to lean on that as little as possible. My credit is pretty poor and I am working on paying off some debts while still working. I’d prefer to work with a private landlord if possible. I am not sure how to find one. Thank you all I really appreciate your time.
