Just remember real estate right now people are renting out studio apartments, that are total crap holes for the most they can get, do your homework on ANY area, and look into the incomes, so you know what you will be capable of earning. My sister still lives in PA, she is a single woman supporting herself and she’s finally tired of working constantly for the bare minimum, and dealing with slum lords. She won’t buy bc she knows she isn’t staying in PA forever. She’s about to ready start looking at other states. Just really do your homework. Every friend I have, moved out of PA, like literally! Every person I know is now spread across the country.
