OP, a different idea.
US Military. It will change your life. Provides you a safe place, your going to eat and have a roof. Also likely will have other men around you that will help you if you do your best. Also likely to travel to places with women of different kinds.
If not knowing what to do, its a real choice.
Likely after you can get a MUCH better job, or just like what your doing and advance...
Absolutely not. My old job before I moved back in with my parents was working at a mortgage lender that primarily dealt with VA loans.
The veterans I spoke to were some of the most insufferable, unhappy, and angriest people I ever talked to - and I don't blame them. The way veterans are "thanked" by their country upon return for their sacrifice is pretty laughable, especially when that sacrifice includes missing limbs and mental disorders. I think it's a good resource for people who literally have nothing, but my situation is nowhere near that bad; just uncomfortable and stagnant.
If rent is $1000-1200, and you can own for around $1200; one would think it would be a better idea to buy than to rent. The price I gave includes everything you mentioned sans utility bills (he'd have them anyway). Maintenance in a condo isn't much. The HOA takes care of most of the heavy lifting (well, they are supposed to).
I asked this somewhere else and I did some responses similar to yours...can you walk me through how this is a good idea? It sounds like there are a lot of things that need to happen for this to make sense; pay $1,000+ each and every month for 15-30 years, and hope somebody is willing to pay somewhere in your projected range of $2,300 each and every month after that first year in rent and assume that I'm even able to find a home that would accept my offer with a down payment I can afford...all while locking myself into Delaware, the place I'm trying to move out from, for those 15-30 years, while taking on hundreds of thousands of dollars in debt.
I'm sure you can make this work with your experience, but me?
