    And there is nothing wrong with being selective about where you want to live, how you want to live, and what you want to spend. I know you have to put disclaimers out because that’s just how social media makes things but just know I support you! I hope you find something you love ❤️

      Thank you!!! That's so sweet! I don't generally have too many negative people on my channel (knock on wood, hopefully I don't jinx that haha) but always throw something in just to cover all the bases. but thank you again! appreciate you always being one of the first people to comment 🤍

      @@marselaaa totally understand. I have very few ppl I actually watch thoroughly and comment on and you’re one of them. I really like your channel and I love when you talk about software engineering because I am in college now to become the same so it’s nice to see how you live and what you do. I’ll always be a fan ❤️

    Apartment hunting can be so stressful, you deserve to get what you want! You work very hard between being a software engineer and posting on UA-cam. Plus, I’ve learned the hard way that if you overlook certain things that you didn’t like in the beginning, they’re just going to drive you crazier as time goes on! Not worth it when you’re trying to find a home for awhile. Happy to hear you were approved and I hope the moving process goes smooth ☺️ I’ll be moving apartments at the end of august so I know it can be a stressful time trying to balance everything.

    Hello, I know this was a while ago, but I have been looking at places in LA and keep running into lots of pest problems (roaches) in a lot of different areas at the 2500 price range. Have you dealt with any of this or have you avoided any apartments due to pests? I’m paranoid after reading stories now lol

    • @marselaaa

    • @marselaaa
      @marselaaa  3 роки тому +2

      all buildings except for the older one (building #3) had their own parking attached to the building. They vary but most were around $100/month for one car, the most expensive one was $175/month for one car

    what about furniture like bed couch(sofa) etc. is it included in the rent or to msnage that ourself?

    • @marselaaa
      @marselaaa  3 роки тому

      For the apartments and prices I mentioned, it is all unfurnished! If there was any furniture in the apartments I showed, some of it was staged just for apt tours (like building #2), and sometimes it just the old tenants stuff that hasn’t been moved out yet (like building #3).
      There are some buildings that have the option for you to choose furnished apartments, but the monthly rent will be higher overall.

    I’m planning on moving to LA, one day & was curious to know, don’t u have to make 3 times the rent like most U.S. cities. So if ur rent is $2500-$2800 plus for an Apt to in LA. U’d have to make $10k a month to qualify correct me if you want I’m wrong??

    • @marselaaa
      @marselaaa  3 роки тому +1

      Yes that’s correct! You do need to show proof of income that should be around 3x the rent! You’re also able to have a guarantor. And if you have a roommate, then they consider your joint income
