I'm already searching thru oneapp, zillow and hotpads. I'm thinking of posting in reddit and craigslist. I also called up and down the list Home Forward has for section 8 rentals. Any other ideas of how to find apartments in Portland un a housing crisis?

Keep in mind there's a maximum payment standard by zipcode that has to cover rent AND utilities so cost is definitely an issue.

Did you check with the two "beings" with a tent in their living room from craigslist, or did they find a taker already? :mrgreen:

Do you plan to work? If so look for salary based apartments. We have some here. They are not run down junk and not in a run down neighborhood. I didn't even know they were salary based until someone told me. People working fast food can afford them so about anyone should.

*snicker* I worked for seven years 60 hours a week. I plan to look for work after I find a place. BTW: I think I found a place. I signed the app and I'm the first person to do so. Its a nice apartment in a kinda bad area of town, but rent and utilities will be completely covered by sec 8, so theres that.

Salary based places also seem to have a heck of a waiting list as well.

The lady with apartment #1 called back. It looks like I might still be in the running. I also went down and applied for a studio at lovejoy station. I was applicant # 1 so barring any hiccups I should get that as my fallback. Downsides are small amt of space and no parking. I figure I'll cross that bridge when I get to it. Also the second place doesen't open till september, so if I do have to fall back on that I'll have to find somewhere to land till it opens.

Always assume that any application you put in for anything will be turned down. An application isn't your fallback. Your fallback is more applications before that one gets turned down, too.

Stack the odds in your favor. Are you more likely to get a hit with 20 apps or 2?

Hell yes. I use a shotgun approach when I need to apply for anything. Fire off as many as I can and hope one hits.

And it looks like I was approved at Pacific Tower apts for a one bedroom. Barring a last minute catrostrophic turn of events, it looks like I found a spot.

Bad news being, the person who does the airbnb where I'm at has had me here for 3 weeks and does not want long term bookers IE: me. I have a move in date of between monday and friday of next week as multiple government agencies need to coordinate and work together to make this happen (I'm on sec eight) so I need to find a place to say between monday night and my move in.

I still have a little money so I'm thinking motel six might see my business again. I'm loathe to do air bnb again. Too much wierdness involved.
