Advice on Apartment Hunting - FT Analyst
Pretty overwhelmed so far with my apartment search and not sure how to plan this out. I start FT in July and my office is in midtown. Looking for a studio apartment and the max I can pay is $2,750 per the 40x rule.
With the recent push to hybrid model, I'm cool with having a longer commute to the office if it means I can get a nicer place. Currently been looking at Murray Hill and Hell's Kitchen. UES/UWS near Central Park would be ideal, but unsure if I can afford anything in those areas beyond a cardboard box. Any other neighborhoods?
My Questions:
1. When should I start actively searching/submitting applications for leases?
2. Is the 40x rule flexible? I am down to be in the 3k range if I find something really good.
3. I will also be traveling this summer. Is it possible to get a place without seeing it in-person? Would I regret doing that?
