Ah yes I see, I would still say that this is still pushing it for a 2800 rent, and I personally wouldn't do it.

Where are you getting 9k from?

No. Your rent really shouldn't exceed 30% of your gross monthly income. Based on a minimum amount each month of $5500 you shouldn't pay more than $1650 for rent.
Edit: sorry I obviously can't read where you put NET. I still think it is a bad idea, commission jobs are never a sure payday so I would base all budgeting off of your base salary, but the logic is sound and is ultimately up to your comfort level!

I agree, this is really where it come down to OP's financial practices and what they value.
