You feel me

3'500 Deposit on a lease of 2,500 a month is insane

Where is that at.

option 1 its a lease and your not buying the house(only reason to go option 2) Just move when financial situation is better.

Renting or buying? Renting 2 places would be the dumbest s*** i ever heard.

So on my college campus I have to pay rent at my dorm. My aid covers a lot of it but not all of it. On top of this, I have to help my mom with the rent at home. So while in paying rent at two separate places, financial aid helps my expenses on campus.

Dam, honestly id just look at an apartment since you're covering rent on top of the lease.

Go option 1 for sure. You don't know how long your mom can keep the job (due to Layoffs or whatever) or hopefully option 2 is still on the market when you can make that deposit without messing up your financial.

That 1 deposit is 2 months of rent at option 1

Your Lil bro would have that room for most of the year anyways tbh

Just buy even if its a 1 bed studio

Use an fha loan and sign up for downpayment assistance so you dont have to put anything down

OP does not need to be even thinking about buying a home, no matter how cheap

crine

this completely unrelated but jus know that no one cares what ur degree is or where u went to college. it jus matters what you've done

its all about working towards a goal. if u wanna do research do internships/independent studies. if you wanna go into industry hit the professional development events and network

Home 1 and get some really nice decor

I’m going through this BS now. UVA is telling me I don’t have enough semesters to finish CS as a transfer student and I had to change my major to cognitive science. Like wtf is even cognitive science?

Did you end up talking to the ombudsperson btw? That situation is such bs

In terms of this question, I think house one is a no brainer. Since you’re away most of the year lil bro would only have to share the room during holidays, more than a fair compromise for a five year old

we need pics

Nah we meet on the 21st. My mom was saying I should transfer to jmu and pursue what I’m really interested in (which is cs). What do you think ?

home 5 (troy ave stan is your roommate and he leaves pizza boxes everywhere but will pay your phone bill)

Probably should look into an apartment that she can afford by herself so you're not paying rent in two places. I don't understand why you feel the need to be attached to her at the hip, OP. Let go

My phone bill is 15 a month that is not a good tradeoff

Sharing a room like that should be no problem regardless of age

I know a family where a 20 something student is sharing a room with a hs aged teen for like a month straight before she goes back off

For a 5 year old that's legit nothing, I know people with middle school kids sharing rooms 247365

I would say if they really give you no option then go for it, no point wasting your money and time studying something you don’t like ya feel. Best of luck with the 21st man hope it works out for you🙏🏽

Trust, I shared my room with my brother until I left for school at 18. Just wanted to be sensitive in case there were any physical or mental disabilities, never want to assume

Thank you! I’ll update you

So my mom viewed house 1 and told me it was not clean and wants to sign the lease of house 2.

My grandmother has offered to help us pay the deposit from house 2 but I cannot afford to pay $1350 rent
