just trying to help you out bro give you an idea of what the housing market is like down here. you seem to not want to listen cause you keep insisting that you called and looked on Zillow. as I've told you.. you cannot call or look on Zillow cause 1. those places will be taken by the time you get down there and 2. if a place is still available for that price then its 100% in the ghetto and roach infested. 3. if it is still available then there is something wrong with the place for it to sit on the market longer than a few days without getting taken. I've literally walked up to a place that was put for rent to have the listing agent say a contract is being signed after literally an hour on the market!
there is nothing wrong with wanting to live in the ghetto at all, not everyone can afford decent housing, for me though sleep is important so I can't have noisy neighbors.
so now you've gone from wanting a house to wanting a roach infested apartment. so you are making progress in your thinking.. but my suggestion that you should find someone who owns a home in a decent area to sub with is your best bet, but it would make a lot more sense to rent an apt first then when you get down here.. build up a good reference with them.. and then hunt for better accomodations.
PS.. yes everyone wants to move down here. the chicks are hot, educated, its a liberal place, diverse, the beach, the food, the places to check out. hence why housing is impossible to find. hell I went to the beach 3 times over the weekend. it was a blast. 86 degree water temps and chicks in bikini's everywhere.. you will probably be banging a different chick every weekend, just don't bring her back to your place
