I am planning on relocating next year and have been scoping out some areas in and near Bellevue. The only problem is trying to get an apartment when I won’t have a job set up and being from out of state. Is it even possible? I have a great credit score, no recent rental history as I own a house, and once I sell the house I will have plenty of money in my savings to start fresh while I look for work. I have only lived in an apartment once during college so I am unsure how strict the rental criteria is, especially when the income requirement is usually 3x rent, but I would have savings. Just looking to get some insight. I know it’s stupid to move without work lined up, but I am desperate for a change from my current situation and have been putting a lot of thought and effort into when and where I would live and the steps to get there. If anything I can maybe get a daycare job lined up before moving as I have previous experience in that field. Though pay for that isn’t even 3x rent when looking at the cheaper (still will good reviews) studio apartments. I also thought about pursuing my masters (once moved and settled) for more job opportunities and maybe looking into a cna certification. Any advice is greatly appreciated.
