I know so many young adults (late 20s even early 30s) living with their parents in Bergen county. I grew up in ocean county and it always seemed like it was frowned upon. But up here it’s really difficult to survive without first living with your parents and saving

Thanks for this advice. I am an excellent tenant and know that’s recognized by my landlord. I also know that he has properties an hour and a half north and would prefer not to be bothered with this property. He even offered to sell it to me. The approach you outline is probably my best shot.

>It def sucks but I wonder if your complex was seriously under market for awhile? That’s a big increase but unfortunately it seems on par with market rates.

Yeah, I think my unit was under market and I was lucky to have the rate that I had for so long. It would be awesome to buy, but I'm not sure I have quite enough for a down payment and it's not a great time to buy with the housing market. So hopefully I can find something more affordable. Or I'm just going to be in a situation where I won't be able to save to buy a house and all of my income will be going to renting.
