      Hey there. If you’ll be getting a mortgage the lender will look at your income source, credit and your debt. Length of employment really depends on several variables. Message me at 260-633-4049 and I’ll put you in touch with someone who can help you get squared away on your financing

    Hi ! I’m researching inexpensive places to live for my mom and sister who’s income is combination social security and adoption stipend - my sister adopted her 3 young grandkids. Together they have an ok income - it’s just not enough to buy a home anywhere in Washington state. They do not care if it is boring but would be interested in services for special needs children.

    If you go to Fort Wayne you must go downtown to Coney Island Hot Dog . I grew up in Fort Wayne and I remember going to Coney Island when I was a young child with my parents. It's the best Hot Dogs in town. The chili is pretty hood also. I retired in the Phoenix, Arizona area.

      Gage, I'm coming back to Fort Wayne late July for a family reunion. I'm going to Coney Island while I'm there. I graduated from Northside High School 1966. I live in Sun City, Arizona. I was a Phoenix Police Officer for 28 years. I get back to Fort Wayne about every other year for family reunions. I still have alot of friends in Fort Wayne. It was a great place to grow up.

      It's always heartwarming when a local spot holds fond memories from childhood. It seems like Coney Island has a special place in your heart, especially with the mention of it being the best hot dog place in town and having great chili.

    • @tokyothrash

      Shouldn’t be too difficult. The fort has an abundance of jobs. And if you’ve got decent credit your chances of finding a place is good. Real estate is super affordable. The city is growing rapidly and they’re actually building multiple new spots right now, including on the waterfront.

      Hey there. That’s not an issue if you have city water. However if you live in a rural area and you have well water you’ll need a filter system to take out the iron. Otherwise you’ll have the problem that you described with orange stains on your fixtures

    Would you say Fort Wayne is a fun place to stay if you don’t have a car? E.g. are there public transport options within the city & connected to other cities and is there enough to do in Fort Wayne?

    • @theoriginallivinginfortwayne
      @theoriginallivinginfortwayne  2 роки тому +3

      I would probably not rate FW as a great place to live without a car. We do have a public bus line but we aren't connected to other cities very well in that regard. I think there are a ton of things to do in Fort Wayne

      Buses stop running here at 8pm weekdays, even earlier Saturday and they don’t run at all Sunday. Not to mention, if u live even a mile outside of most of the city’s limits a bus won’t go your way. If you don’t have a car this IS NOT the city for you. This isn’t Chicago, Milwaukee, New York or LA. U can’t get around without a car here trust me

      Yes, Fort Wayne is served by the Fort Wayne International Airport (FWA), which is the primary commercial airport in the region. FWA is located about 12 miles southwest of downtown Fort Wayne. It offers various domestic flights and services, connecting the city to major hubs and destinations.
      Additionally, there are other regional airports in the vicinity that cater to general aviation and smaller aircraft. However, for commercial air travel, Fort Wayne International Airport is the main option for residents and visitors in the Fort Wayne area.

    Mild winters my ass. 10 degrees and 100% humidity is off the charts. I couldn’t wait to move out of that area. There seems to be a phenomenon in Ft. Wayne in that the majority of people there are obese. Maybe it’s something in the water. Also, seems the majority of vehicles are rusted... only thing keeping the bumpers on some of the cars is the Trump stickers.

If there's something cool about your new spot or some good memories from Fort Wayne you'd like to chat about, spill the beans. Every place has its ups and downs, you know?
