I Want to Get My Own Apartment

I make $2,800 a month before taxes. Building credit score. Will it be hard for me to find a place? Live in Washington state

Depends on where in the state you live. In Seattle or Bellevue, all you can hope to get is a cramped studio. A little further north and south, and you'll really have to go for the lower-end apartments since commuting is popular.

Everywhere else is a lot more affordable, so that much money should be enough. I live just outside Seattle and barely qualified despite an 800+ credit rating and making $20 an hour. I fear that I might get priced out without a second job soon

Cost of living in this state is crazy. I live in Tacoma. Make $25 an hour

Take what you make AFTER tax (net) per month and divide it by 3. Thats what many landlords look at as what you can afford for rent

It will have to be a very small inexpensive apartment for $800 a month
