Thanks for watching! Any lingering questions I didn't fully cover in this vid?

[@runnerup15]

This market makes me understand squatters in a way I do not have the words to explain

[@pratikshapradhan2235]

How can I lock down an apartment while I am abroad and unable to look at places in person? What are the things one must keep in mind in such a case?

[@19badboy27]

Another great video! Look forward to working with you sir!

[@LivingBoston]

Likewise Alex! Glad it was a helpful vid!

[@jodyannhanson1351]

What about low income or income restricted apartments for those who need housing and can't afford 2000-2500 a month?

[@yagerr4279]

Apply for HUD asap. The waitlist is long and shelters are filling up quick

[@evanmonast5522]

I wouldn't suggest moving to one of the most expensive cities then

[@danebennett1961]

Any videos on East Boston coming soon? Just landed a wonderful apartment there!

[@LivingBoston]

Definitely planning on it! Lots of video ideas just need the time to film them all then edit hahaha

[@kanizfarzana7626]

Do you have any suggestions how to look for apartment on the west boston , like on Burlington , MA ?

[@spiriteguide1117]

Thanks bro I’m thinking bout moving there

[@LivingBoston]

Thanks for watching!

[@chitownracing]

Are these rules specific to Boston the city? What about surrounding suburbs, mainly for security deposits and broker fees, is it generally the same?

[@bleb87]

Weird that most of the country does just fine without broker fees and agents being injected into the process.

[@LivingBoston]

That's true

[@aka_khema]

what if i want to rent out my condo? i have never rented out a property before...

[@weihsia8319]

Hi I want to ask some questions about Boston property!!

[@ladytracy46]

Its definitely crazy im looking now for December 1rst 2023 i wish i never left smh

[@nobopyon]

How is 7INK ?

[@freddieadjei3876]

Hi Jacob, are there furnished off-campus students' apartments in Boston.

[@LivingBoston]

It depends; they don't always come furnished, but some do. Sometimes furnished options are available for short term rentals. What areas and price points are you interested in? I can see what furnished options are available

[@freddieadjei3876]

anywhere around Northeastern. My budget is $750- $800 I don't mind sharing with another International student.

[@JMM33RanMA]

@@freddieadjei3876 Sorry to butt in, but with your budget, sharing is likely to be the only affordable way to go. Somewhere along one of the T-lines to downtown would be cheaper. Like most Universities, Northeastern student service might be able to help you find a place or room-mates. One of the grad students in my building was complaining about getting to NU because the commuter line bypasses the station requiring going into Boston and changing to a subway line; Green and Orange lines serve NU, but the connection is the problem as is the scheduling.

[@Stizzymack]

Nice video, what's ur fee?

[@LivingBoston]

Depends on the unit, typically 1 month

[@Heyyyyyy870]

What’s the chances of finding one that updated

[@afroman9430]

Low

[@lindamorose5468]

its not impossible

[@rasul3d]

I wrote you email. And you do not answer.
