Move west young man.....(a little long)

Both

 

www.apartments.com - is for houses, apartments, condo, townhome.
@snowwy - that website lets you break it down to what you're looking for; town/ zip code, number of bedrooms/ baths, price range. This keep you from having to look at all the other stuff you're not interested in.
For buying, I used:
www.zillow.com
www.redfin.com
(had the best experience with Zillow, but looked at both)

 

Grocery store shopping carts are good for storage.

 

Cheap rents, more freedom= less pay, less work available.
More work available, higher pay= exorbitant rents, up to your neck in dumb laws, and tech bros getting in the way. Just can't win in this crazy game.

 

You want cheap rent, here you go.

 

You really improve your odds by getting out of debt and then doing the opposite of most people or doing what most people do, but at the opposite time. Save your money in good times and buy during recessions.

If your house and car are paid for your job only needs to pay for groceries and utilities plus taxes.

 

Competition for housing is so high, the spring market is starting now

We're all screwed

 

Having recently transferred my CDL from TX to NV, I do stay on top of two things in my search for affordable housing and jobs in Reno and Vegas, still being unsure which market I will settle down in permanently.

The method is simple.. Using Craigslist to watch both markets, housing and jobs. Whoever said @Chinatown is somehow exaggerating how swell it is to live in Nevada for tax and other reasons is not seeing the whole picture.. Pay and rents are changing so fast nationwide. What you believed Vegas or Reno or ? to be a year or two ago could be completely out of date now. Let me emphasize, anywhere WORTH LIVING, is having a "Crisis". It is in all the papers, and people are talking about it like the weather for conversation.

Looking at three markets, Greater Reno, Vegas, and Dallas.. Considering taxes or lack thereof, especially the absurdly high property taxes in Tejas.. Vegas wins hands down. Far as a ratio for Driver pay to expected rents or housing costs. Beats Phoenix too. Avg. single family housing price is over 400k now in Reno, Vegas is much less. Dallas jobs suck, they have not adjusted for housing inflation. Too much foreign labor, like Phoenix

Contact the LTL companies by Email or online application and let them know your're moving very soon and would like to work there. Say, you will change your cdl as soon as you arrive. You'll have to renew your hazmat endorsement, but everything else will transfer.
